I agree, but equally the discussion of the political motives of the attack probably belong in the election thread. I mean, I've been putting news of Russian events in here because I didn't want to start a new thread, but then mapuc started his Russian tensions thread so I can put them in there instead.

It's a tricky one though, I agree. But this was politically motivated domestic terrorism IMHO, and whoever did it should be brought to justice.
Just as an aside, apparently the nearby Dem office in the same area also got broken into and graffiti about 'Death to capitalists' or some such thing was sprayed on the wall. Not exactly a firebomb but perhaps an indication of who did it, a radical Berniebro most likely or someone wanting to pin it on one. We'll hopefully see in time when the law enforcement catches up with them.

Or it's someone trying to divert suspicion but certainly there could be an "Arlington Road" element at work here I suppose.

It could be, it could be.

I thought the ending sucked but I dare not say any more without spoiling the suck for you.

A long time ago I posted about it in the 'Movie' thread. I didn't think the ending was bad, just unexpected.

Four officers injured, one seriously, during a police raid on a far-right 'Reichsburger' in Bavaria:

Kudos to the police that they could take that clown down without killing him.

I wish a speedy recovery to the injured.

Wolfgang P is believed to have been alerted to the police’s approach by blue lights and sirens, having a gun and bulletproof vest next to his bed

I just don't get this. You are making an early morning raid to house of potentially armed person and you come in with blues and twos?

[Schroeder]

Darn, one of the officers just died from his injuries. Now they guy is guilty of murder. Let's hope he'll rot in a prison cell for the rest of his worthless life.

That would indeed be highly unusual. I have a hard time believing they would do that especially since they had planned the thing in advance and weren't forced to act quickly..

Could be a legal thing, like how police always seem to yell "Stop! Police!" when the suspect is far enough away to run off.

Scott Foval, visited the White House during the past 8 year 320 times and the media is silent about it. Don't tell me the fix isn't in...

This is getting odder by the minute. Now the police say that the officer hasn't died but is still in critical condition.... Guys really? Is it so difficult to determine whether someone is dead or not? How could that wrong statement get out?

What on Earth is going on with your police force?

Usually they are pretty good at their jobs but the recent events are rather embarrassing. Anyway I have to give it to them that they were able to get him without pumping him full of lead like I would have expected most other police forces to have done. That is actually a testament of their training and discipline.
