Parkland, Washington Ambush
Four cops killed in a coffee shop before their shift started. One report says all of the officers were Pierce County Sheriffs. This would probably be a sizable percentage of their watch if true.

They had some weird stuff going on in Tacoma at the end of last month, beginning of this one. Offenders, pretending to be the police, pulling people over, abducting them, robbing their businesses, raping women. wtf?
RIP officers.

I have furlo starting this week and would like to drive out to Washington for the funeral.
Does anybody know who I contact in order to go with a CPD contingent/vehicle?
St. Michael, welcome them into the Lord's Presence.
May the Lord Keep them in his hands.....
God Save the United States......
A coffee shop quadruple execution of four police officers at 8:15 on a Sunday morning in a south suburb of Tacoma. My God!
Vague description of the black male cop killer at this time. May God bless the officers of the Lakewood P.D. and their families.
They are Lakewood Officers, a 102 member force. God rest there souls.
Rest In Peace.......
Thus is bad. Although this isn't a prayer, if you're able to post any and all memorial/mass/ wake etc. Please do. If able to I'd certainly try to attend
i raelly hope there is no connection, but that whole area of the pacific northwest has become the "entry point" of mexican drug-lords. it has become easier to enter drugs through canada, than the mexican border. drug-lords see the police in small towns as a threat to their business operations. the pacific northwest has always had many deranged people.
god be with their families and co-workers. hopefully, the criminals will be cought soon!!
...the public will wake up when the shoe of an armed ex-offender is upon their liberal necks. No doubt these assassins see themselves as liberal heros. Beware the copycat
phenom. Trust no-one ever.
As my FTO said, over a quarter century ago, "Seven hours of same ol', same ol', half an hour of lunch and five minutes of sheer terror. Problem is, you never know when those five minutes will come."
This is what we do. Every day. And by virtue of wearing the uniform, we become targets of madmen and vicious criminals.
May God help the officers and their families and friends. What a tragedy.
My condolences to all the officer's families. We have more than serious problems when the police cannot even enjoy a cup of joe before serving and protecting. RIP Officers.
RIP to the four officers.
This is truly a tragedy, may God help their families get through this difficult time.
This after SPD Officer Brenton shot and killed in a drive-by on Halloween.
As a resident of the area, this is not a warm fuzzy.
First Oakland Ca now Parkland Wa. God bless this fine members of L.E.
Four L.O.D. murders in each city.
Our prayers go out to the families of our fallen. So very-very sad.
I am speechless now.
what a loss- take care of the families and stay safe. Our prayers are with them and you guys.
They immediately offered a $10,000 reward for information about these killings. How about the FOP adding maybe $1,000, $5,000, or $10,000 to support our fallen brothers?
news like this just tears me apart. how much of my police heart do i have left? God bless those officers in Heaven.
I believe that the show COPS has featured this pd quite a bit and they are a good bunch. RIP, catch the mofo and put him in a grave.
my heart and prayers go out to my fellow officers famlies.
A horrible morning in Pierce County, Wa. I drank many a years in DC with the Pierce County guys. We always had a good time while honoring our nations fallen law enforcement officers. A good source of info I’m getting is from northwest cable news.com. It has up to date info and videos. It appears to be similar to a CLTV format. The 4 Lakewood Police Officers that were targeted were 3 officers and 1 sergeant. They were having a briefing before their shift. The coffee shop is a police landmark in that area and is owned by a retired police officer. SCC maybe you can put up the emotional statement the Pierce County Sheriff, Paul Pastor, put out on camera. A very crazy sad day in the northwest. God bless those families.
Pierce County Sheriff's spokesman Ed Troyer says the officers - four male and one female - were in full uniform and wearing bulletproof vests, sitting in Forza coffee shop near 116th Street and Steele Street on the east side of the Air Force base at about 8:30 a.m.
Troyer says the officers were preparing for their shift when a suspect or suspects "walked in with a handgun, opened fire multiple times and then fled the scene," said Troyer.
Troyer called it an "ambush."
Troyer said the suspect is a black male, 5-foot-7 to 6 feet tall, 20s to 30s, scruffy appearance, wearing a black coat with a gray sweatshirt underneath, and blue jeans.

Stay alert and stay safe, don't let your guard down while wearing the uniform.
Just horrible.
RIP Officers.
May God rest their souls and bless their families.
Cicero PD
With the exception of 9/11 at the WTC in Lower Manhattan, this is the worst single multiple homicides of police officers in modern U.S. history.
The homicides of the four Oakland P.D. officers took place in two separate acts by the same cop killer.
God bless the Lakewood P.D.
God bless these officers and their families.
May God bless the families of these fallen officers. Let's pray that they catch the coward(s) who did this soon.
This is so sad. My condolences to the families of these officers and to their Police family across the United States. Please be careful as the public needs each and every one of you. You are all important to us.
Prayers go out to the families. This could happen to any one of us so keep your eyes and ears open out there, they are all out to get us!!!
Everyone take care, careful.
old retired guy
Editor's note: During the coverage of this developing story, the Pierce County Sheriff's Department has alleged that its investigation into the shootings was hampered by KING TV's news helicopter, which was flying over the area. KING TV maintains that its aircraft was operating in compliance with FAA flight rules at the time and that the aircraft was moved from the area.
After giving them props for the coverage in an earlier post I discovered this editor's note that was posted to an update later in the day.
Prayers for these officers, and all officers.
-Civilian reader
Jesus Christ Almighty. What is going on in this world?
---not a cop
WOW!!! I just read about this!! How sad and yet so scary! So much hate towards Police Officers, I just don't get it!! My prayers and thoughts to Parkland P.D. and to the Officers families. All stay safe! RIP
They were Lakewood police officers.
Just last month they had a Seattle P.O killed and another wounded in a similar incident. They got that guy though, real nutter. Same nutcase that firebombed a couple squad cars while in the dept. lot.
R.I.P officers
God Bless Officers and Families
may their souls rest in peace
that is horrible!!
God speed, god speed
A needle in the arm at Walla Walla is too sweet for this mother fucker. Hope for a quick arrest and conviction.
Condolences to our brothers and sisters in the Lakewood P.D.
Prayers and thoughts from NC
my goodness This is awful
It brought me chills when I recall how much time I spent doing the same thing
May they rest in peace
I think it is very important for CPD officers to read the comments posted on the Tribune website in response to this story.
I don't think the scumtimes has even posted this story.
The comments give you a true insight into what people think of police officer. Its very disheartening, but should be read.
God bless these coppers and their families. May the offender(s) feel His wrath.
I have furlo starting this week and would like to drive out to Washington for the funeral.
Does anybody know who I contact in order to go with a CPD contingent/vehicle?
11/29/2009 02:49:00 PM
ill go with you
God Bless all you guys in Wash.
AWFUL! May they RIP and God Bless their families and friends.
To the unpublished blind dumbfuck -
Nice reading comprehension job there short-bus.
First up, it says "Prayers only in this thread." We've let that be prayers, well wishes, condolences, etc. We've put up this type of post far too often to allow dumb shit like you want in it, but if you look carefully, there are at least two news reports lifted from the media describing exactly what you claim isn't there. We just don't feel it appropriate for your Monday morning BS to be posted on a memorial thread.
We also attempt to disallow the casual slurs you're throwing around to not appear in most cases. Go play in traffic.

FOP should be a source of info/coordination for attending the funeral. Call tomorrow in the AM.
RIP----Slán agus beannacht leat
First, my condolences to the family and friends of these officers.
Second, out of 23 comments on the Tribune website so far only one could be construed as "anti-police".
Third, the Washington Police have a suspect in custody with a long felony record and mental health issues. If he turns out to be the shooter a long look needs to be taken at the criminal and mental health systems. Some people need to be confined for their own safety and the safety of others.
May god bless the fallen officers and their families.
I was just reading that the "person of interest" that they are looking for had his 95year prison sentence commuted in Arkansas which allowed him to be parole.This guy had been charged with armed robbery and also rape of a child. Unbelievable

Maurice CLEMMONS (M/B/37)
AUTH: S.O., Pierce Co., WA
Parkland (WA) P.D.
Lakewood (WA) P.D.
Oh my heart hurts for my fellow fallen officers..
Words cannot not express the anger to the nut-tard who did this..
My prayers goes out to the family and other officers..
MAY YOU LEARN TO NEVER KEEP YOU GUARD DOWN!!
A Man of huge stature for one to behold
But inside this body, was a heart made of gold.
For old friends and children, teenagers too
He was especially kind... this portrait in blue.
For once they had met him, they'd call him their friend.
In danger and trouble, on him they'd defend.
To protect and to serve, to this duty he was tru,
The foe met their match... in this man dressed in blue.
He met with much danger, sorrow and pain,
And many a night would relive it again.
He faced all with courage, but compassion he knew...
Must be a part of a man dressed in blue.
For tho evil as man's deeds may continue to be, with courage and honor he'll fight valiantly.
Ith Justice for all , he'll strive to the end...
For an oath with his life he' sworn to defend.
His years full of service have taken their toll,
His feet are now weary, his body grows old.
But when Roll Call in Heaven he's called to attend,
Those Legions of Angels, those Guardians of Men...
Will sound the high trumpet and round him descend,
To Honor this man who lived to defend.
The Commander on High will of course be there too
To weclome the soul of this man dressed in Blue.
My Prayers and Condolences to the Parkland PD and the Family of Our Fallen.
May God...show deep compassion for the family and friends of our Fallen Brothers and Sister. This will touch their families for generations...
This is horrible and it's getting worse.
My prayers for the officers and their families. They risk their lives everyday and this how they are repaid. I feel like throwing up.
My deepest condolences to the families of these fallen officers. It breaks my heart to think of the nine children who lost a parent today.
I certainly don't know what would motivate anyone to commit such an atrocity.
God Bless the four slain Parkland, Washington Officers, their families, friends and coworkers.
You are in my prayers.
They were lakewood police. I had the privledge of knowing tina. She was in chicago for a g.r.e.a.t class dec. 2006. God keep the officers and their families under your watch.
Usually quite verbal but now simply speechless.And boys and girls its only gonna get worse.
Please for GOD SAKE
BE CAREFUL OUT THERE
"There are many here among us that feel life is but a joke."
Trouble is we cant tell who they are.
God Bless the families of the fallen.
Sorry for not having something with more depth to say,Im just in shock over this.
Christ be with the families of these Officers. May the bastard who committed this act of cowardliness be bought to trial and sent to the Gas Chamber.
God bless them all, Is the Fop providing us with any transporting out there ?
seems like this has been happening far to often this year im oakland, pitssburgh, multiple coppers shot in neew jersey this year God bless all of them and all of us who still fight the good fight
my tears can never be enough. my heart goes out to their families. sorry doesnt cut it. I have no idea what to say except, that I cry with you and i am so sorry. My family would be so sad and angry. I hope they find those S.O.B's and bring them to justice. My prayers are with you my fallen brothers and sisters. Always in my heart all that have been taken before their time and at the hands of the evil.
Unfortunately, the holidays will only intensify the grief for all involved.
God bless them and God bless all of you, every day in every way, stay safe and go home at the end of your tour.
God Bless the officers and their families! Let this also be a lesson to all police officers. The criminals hate us and they are not afraid to shoot and kill, regardless of the location. You can't sit in a restaurant or any other place and feel safe just because you have a uniform and a gun. Off duty you sit against a wall with the front door in front of you. It will all just get worse. Prepare for it!
Godspeed to the officers, may GOD comfort the families,and to that POS of who did this death ASAP!
Sympathy, Thoughts & Prayers To The Familys Of Our Downed Brothers
Stay Safe Out There ALWAYS Brothers & Sisters, Back Each Other Up ALWAYS!
God Bless
