| Seattle Police Kill Suspect In Officer Slayings |
| 2009-12-01 |
| SEATTLE -- The man suspected of gunning down four police officers in a suburban coffee shop was shot and killed by Seattle police early Tuesday, a sheriff's spokesman said. Maurice Clemmons was shot to death in a working-class south Seattle neighborhood after police tracked him down using possible hiding spots supplied by Pierce County investigators, said Ed Troyer, a spokesman for the county sheriff. Authorities suspect Clemmons, 37, of killing the four Lakewood officers at a coffee shop Sunday morning in Parkland, a Tacoma suburb about 35 miles south of Seattle. Police said they aren't sure what prompted Clemmons to shoot the officers as they did paperwork on their laptops. Clemmons was described as increasingly erratic in the past few months and had been arrested earlier this year on charges that he punched a sheriff's deputy in the face. At the scene, a couple of dozen police officers milled around, shaking hands and patting each other on the back after one of the largest manhunts in the region's history. Clemmons had stayed on the run for nearly two days with help from a network of friends and family who gave him places to stay, medical aid, rides and money, police said. On Monday, officers detained a sister of Clemmons who they think treated the 37-year-old suspect's gunshot wound. "We believe she drove him up to Seattle and bandaged him up," Troyer said. Fine with me if they summary execute the sister and "network of friends" as well, the worthless bastards. More at the link. |

| #10 This afternoon the Pierce County police announced the arrest of 4 persons that 'provided comfort', and the pending booking of the individual that is suspected of driving the getaway car. he ( as of 4 pm west coast time) was locked up and the formal bookinf was imminent. the DA was on record as asking for 2 million bail as he was a flight risk. there was also mention made of several others being investigated and the likely arrest. i would have thought that accesssory to murder was the valid charge; maybe this lesser one has a higher probability of getting a guilty verdict. and there is the predictable loonie left that is questioning the Seattle PD in their shooting of this POS, because after all' at night all black men look alike.' |

| #7 Re #2 - my thought exactly. It will probably be the same bunch of lawyers to do it, too. |

| #6 I don't do criminal law for a living, but unless I'm mistaken the sister and anyone else who "helped" could be indicted as an accessory to murder. Can't get the death penalty, but could go away for good. |

| #5 Four of America's finest, young, promising police officers slaughtered, 4 widows or widowers, 9 children without a parent. Grieving fathers and mothers, sisters and brothers, fellow officers, friends, an entire nation. As if Hasan and the Fort Hood murders were not enough. Don't know whether to cry or scream! What the hell are we becoming. God please come soon. |

| #4 I guess he picked the wrong week to give up assassinating cops. So they helped him. For his own good. |

| #2 Tort lawyers are probably knocking on the doors of the family to start their next income bounce. Remember the LA bank shoot out. |
