Seattle police kill suspect in officer slayings
Submitted by jruss133 on Tue, 12/01/2009 - 13:13SEATTLE – The man suspected of gunning down four police officers in a suburban coffee shop was shot and killed by a lone patrolman investigating a stolen car early Tuesday. Four people were arrested for allegedly helping the suspect elude authorities during a massive two-day manhunt.
Maurice Clemmons was carrying a handgun he took from one of the dead officers when a Seattle policeman recognized him near a stolen car in a working-class south Seattle neighborhood about 2:45 a.m., Assistant Police Chief Jim Pugel said.
The vehicle was running but unoccupied when the officer pulled up, radioed in the license plate number and realized the car was stolen, Pugel said.
The officer saw something moving, got out of his car, saw Clemmons and ordered him to show his hands and stop.
"He wouldn't stop," Pugel said. "The officer fired several rounds."

Ya know,
these cops, were not invading someone's home, they were eating donuts and drinking coffee like most cops do.
This criminal had no right to take their lives, in my opinion.
Regardless of the law, what is right, is right.
The best thing anybody could do was to waste this guy, whose guilt is obvious(has a gunshot wound), and save the taxpayers a ton of money.
I believe that we are all innocent until proven guilty, but give me a break, this guy probably still literally had blood on his hands.
I am the first one to speak out about police overstepping their bounds, but senseless murder is just wrong.

Not only
do I question Huckabee letting this guy out, why was he recently released on bail after being charged with raping a child!?

Maybe it had something to do
Maybe it had something to do with the Eighth Amendment, and that bothersome "innocent until proven guilty" rule. We need to trust the police more.
