This makes the third incident in the past six weeks targeting law enforcement in the region. Still hoping this isn't a harbinger of a return to the late '60's.

Ambush territory?
I've worked alongside Pierce County Sheriffs many years ago, so these deaths remind me of good times there. Ambushing police officers in a donut shop on a Sunday morning is a very different ambush to what is "normal".
In the county there are many military installations, a divisional US Army base and as press reporting shows a USAF base. Just to add to the situational awareness.

To be clear, this was south of Seattle. About 30 miles south of where the last ambush took place.
The coffee shop is quite literally a stones throw away from McChord. Lakewood/Parkland is a fairly rough town. I worked there for many years and there was a lot of drug activity. We even found the remnants of mobile meth labs lying around a few times.
A good friend and retired SF LTC is a Deputy there....my prayers to him and his family as I dread seeing the names once released.

"The modern COIN mindset is when one arrogantly goes to some foreign land and attempts to make those who live there a lesser version of one's self. The FID mindset is when one humbly goes to some foreign land and seeks first to understand, and then to help in some small way for those who live there to be the best version of their own self."

Regardless if the "person of interest" is the perp or not, the real issue is why wasn't he still in jail/prison?
.Clemmons was released from prison six days ago on bond, even though there is a warrant for his arrest after escaping from parole in Arkansas.
