The Growing Police State.

God help the truants.

Cue Ed Rooney Plowing down the road in this thing.  "Bueller!!!!!!!"

Could what happened in PA possibly be a response to some badge heavy treatment of a citizen?

That is my first question as well since the guy got away it was obviously not "suicide by cop", so barring another act of terrorism like the NJ kid who was murdered what other motive presents itself ?

I'm sure they're looking at who this cop testified against, and compare it to who if any have been released. There are vengeance killings that all cops have to be careful of. Judges as well. The smart criminals won't talk about it in prison, or anywhere else. They'll just gather what information they need and act. Cops, judges, and witnesses are not difficult to look up, especially in today's world of mass information technology. Addresses, phone numbers, car registrations, etc., are easily found on difficult to trace computers available in public library's and other places. I have a feeling this wasn't random. Someone had it in for this guy, and obviously planned it very carefully.

The killing didn't have to have been committed by anyone convicted of a crime.  Just someone fed up with the Us vs. Them mentality of, and treatment of citizens by badge heavy 'officers'.  What history do the two 'officers' involved have?  How do they treat citizens?  Or, do they deal with subjects?

Remember, cops are professional witnesses in uniform, with the backing of the state.  They are allowed to lie to you in the 'interview' (Interrogation) so the system is heavily biased on their side.

It looks as though the individual that killed the trooper in Pennsylvania was a 31 year old that still lived at home with mom and dad,  was a airsofter with minimal prior police contact and spoke about committing mass murders. He sounds like a loser whack job to me.

It also appears he "hunted" these cops like they were game. Without a doubt he's got a few bolts that were not properly torqued.

The thing that's "With out a doubt", is that this is the official version.
Like "poor unarmed, "teddy bear Mike Brown" in Ferguson, or the stories told about the Branch Davidian's none of which turned out to be true.

I should make a correction.  The suspect had previously been arrested in New York for Burglary and Larceny.  He failed to respond to the charges and was subsequently picked up on a warrant in Pa and spent some time in the cross bar hotel.

If anybody is interested, here is the Charges and Affidavit of Probable Cause for the Homicide.
