These cowards involved in this shooting will be caught and brought to justice.

Scum of the earth, show your face you punks, radical uneducated menaces to society! You will make a mistake, and we will be there to pounce on you, mark my word.

THIS IS, WHAT I WOULD SAY ,THE WORST OF SITUATIONS,I DO'NT HAVE TO COMMENT ON THIS ,

YOU VETS KNOW, THIS ONE GUY CAN BE AS DEVASTATING AS THE GANGS OR GROUPS

THAT ATTEMPT TO KILL OFFICERS DAILY.

Our prayers are with the families of both officers. Hopefully they will get this case closed before anymore of our brothers in blue are hurt or killed. Good luck guys.

RIP Brother Benton...The investigators just need to keep their ears open. The facts will come out soon and the one(s) responsible will pay.

I concur with Assistant Chief Pugel, about this being a well planned, well orchestrated hit that is deliberate against police. To think they would back up and turn around giving into access in them being fired upon in return fire, was worth the risk rather than get caught on camera. The person of interest is one to consider, although anyone knows there's more than one perp in this heinous crime. In homeland security we taught fire and police of how the objective of terrorist is to monitor the response of first responders, watch what they did, and then the terrorist would know how to act upon first response whenever they pulled a real incident. Not implying this is related to anything terrorist related, but just resembles a gang type of hit. To pull alongside a police car takes someone very brave or else on drugs where they do not feel a sense of fear, sort of like a false sense of well being. I am sure that every police officer has a concern if the next vehicle will be one that is ready to fire on police. I know that Seattle has viewed the camera of the police unit driven by Sweeney and Brenton during the earlier traffic stop, as maybe passing cars during that period could fit the description of the one that fired on them from point blank range during the hit on them during the time in question. Anyway, I would love knowing that they capture the ones responsible for the macabre act against Law Enforcement. Criminal have 24/7 to plan how they can breach security and overcome or overwhelm the forces of police, as we are definitely outnumbered. We have to go on duty and expect the unexpected, and stay completely focused at all times. With this being a training officer, anyone knows the focus was there, but the elements overwhelmed their ability to prevent, as by the time we can see the threat, and our brain perceive it, and react accordingly, then reaction time is always limited when someone targets someone and acts expeditously at the start to execute their crime. God have mercy on police when we have idiots that are hardcore enough to do this to men and women protecting with their lives those that depend upon us for their safety and security. I pray those responsible get caught and justice is swift and at the maximum. MRPowell

I hope they catch the person he needs to be put away
