It's been building up to this for a while now.
Wether it is orchestrated or some people have just finaly had enough, this is going to send shock waves across the US.

I believe we will all be seeing more and more of these types of news items. Whether they are actual fringe groups, terrorists, or our government -- I don't know.
But I do know that Obama is going to use every single instance to further "our war on terrorism", to push harder for even more government power thanks to the "Homeland Security Act", and as a justification as to why there are more police, MP, Sheriffs, etc. -- despite the states not having any money to pay them.
Obama is facing a lot of hurdles -- the economy is crumbling despite him telling everyone its on the mend -- the war in Afganistan is becoming more frowned upon than Iraq -- declaring unwavering allegiance to Israel is going to be tested in a possible war with Iran -- Russia, China, and India are quickly leaving the US behind (apparently human rights are no longer important in the NWO) -- the Fed may be facing an audit (nothing like an immediate crisis within the US to push that to the back burner) -- etc.

Sound more like these guys were targeted because of their prior activities. They probably beat up/raped/stole from the wrong people, someone who wouldn't roll over and play dead for them.
I doubt if it has anyting to do with terrorism. Cops are perfectly capable of bringing this heat down on themselves with their arrogance and blatant criminality.
But we'll see.
I lean towards street justice as the cause.

No, barking up the wrong tree.
What I do know is that these cops deserved what they got.

Interesting that the Sheriff handling the news briefing said emphatically that he does not want anyone focusing their efforts on a possible gang connection. Seemed to me they already know exactly who is behind this. Just the feeling I got from listening to him talk.
