Story does not add up at all.

If you had a death vehicle and a bunch of guns and bombs, why would you strafe the PD at night breaking windows when nobody is there?

Reichstag Fire.

This has nothing to do with Ahmed. This is the government ginning up a reason to do away with the "domestic terrorists" that "worship the Constitution".

Or, it could just be a couple of crazies who have beef with DPD.  I remember reading about a year ago something similar down in Austin.  It was one or two guys that stood outside the police headquarters and starting shooting the place up, in the middle of the night, while nobody was there.  I think the police ended up taking them out.  I don't remember hearing anything else about that, just some crazies who were drunk or high, or something to that effect.

If you "had a beef" with DPD, would you attack at 0400, ensuring that NOBODY would be hurt?

I think that's exactly what that guy down in Austin did?

This was more than one guy, apparently. If you were a paramilitary group that had amassed enough war material for an attack, knowing that it was a one-way ticket, why would you do it in such a way to ENSURE your target was unharmed? The time was chosen SPECIFICALLY because the casualties would be zero and the police could completely control the narrative.

Again, Reichstag Fire. History has its tendrils wrapped around us if we care to look.

You aren't talking about the tower shooter are you? Charles Whitman?? He murdered family early and attacked from the tower later. He was far from ineffective. 48 targets hit and 16 kills I believe.

Indeed. That connection hasn't escaped me. JH15 is centered in TX.

No, not Whitman.  After some googling, this is the guy:

http://kxan.com/2014/11/28/austin-police-shut-down-city-streets-for-active-shooter-investigation/

I remember reading about this when it happened, and I think he was just one crazy guy with an assault rifle and maybe a couple of pistols.  The article also states that he had an IED in his car (not sure what kind though).

For the purposes of a CNN broadcast, a handle of Popov counts as an IED.

I would say "in before Ropo", but of course Retardopo wouldn't have a clue what you are referring too..

Yup. If only Officer Barrelroll was still around. He'd put a stop to this.

[Slapper]

I knew it! I fucking knew it!

Didn't I tell you that a lot of people were fed up with the police?? Didn't I tell you??

Didn't I say that I foresaw crazies and desperate people going apes on police stations??

IF THIS IS NOT A SIGN THAT PIGS NEED TO TAME IT DOWN CONSIDERABLY OR QUIT, I DON'T KNOW WHAT IS.

People, you have CIVILIANS, who are supposed to be protected and served by the police, attacking police stations.

I have yet to see a single police chief come out and say "yes, we were too lenient on police brutality and we were wrong. We are QUICKLY working to stop these practices". Instead, what you get is the generic fuck you! answer: "we're investigating the issue".

You don't know what the circumstances are. This just gives cause to the police and politicians to amp it up even more. Furthering the cause for a police state.
Furthermore, American police forces are pretty tame compared to other countries.

Great job defending nutjobs.  Get help.

If the following information is accurate,   it might just be one crazy (mental illness).

The citizenry these days is just as out of control. A society of narcissistic, impatient out of control douche bags. Can't even flip someone off on the road without going to war when in the old days it was a birdie back with a 'fuck you' and that was that. Some of these perils just happen to get jobs as police officers. So I think these things are inevitable. Who knows, maybe it's unfortunately even necessary.  Like clemenza said in godfather, gets all the bad blood out.
