The Washington State Patrol and Department of Corrections are assisting with the investigation of the slaying of four Lakewood police officers at a Parkland coffee shop.
Washington state Attorney General Rob McKenna told KOMO Radio he has offered the criminal investigation resources of his office to the Pierce County sheriff's office.
This includes a homicide investigation tracking system.
Governor Chris Gregoire told the station that the deaths are one of the most shocking incidents she can recall in the history of the state - a "tragedy beyond anybody's comprehension."

I find it kind of funny that if this was four BLACK cops and the shooter was white that Jessie Jackson and Al Sharpton would have flown here immediately and screamed about another white on black crime. But if those guys are really all about "racial equality", why won't they call out a black man who cowardly ambushed four white cops? If they are TRUE to their mission of equality, they should HATE that a black man killed 4 white cops...kinda like the same way they should be upset (and would be there in person if this was white on 4 black cops) I, for one, just want people to get along with people. But Jackson and Sharpton are racists...only step in when it's a BLACK or several blacks that get killed. Why not just be a COLOR blind human and speak out against anyone who does something horrible...like this guy did to four HUMAN BEINGS???
Got something to say?
