The shooting of the two police officers in NYC yesterday was very similar to the shooting of the two state police officers in PA two months ago by the survivalist, in that the police officers in both cases were hunted down like animals for no other reason than they had on police uniforms.
The alleged shooter in PA just showed up at the police barracks and waited until he found his targets leaving work after their shift, killing one and wounding the other. He then was able to avoid capture for over a month, because he was a survivalist, all the while keeping a large area of the state in fear and lock-down.
After he was captured on Halloween, it was never reported what his motive was, but the DA is seeking the death penalty.
