Sounds like this was a bit of a mess up on someone's part. Bad tactics applied?

Right.

Yes, tricky to keep track when there were so many "Charlotte Ambush" stories hitting the headlines today

Not everyone reads the headlines or follows the news. It was a relatively minor story in another state.

My son is a Charlotte police officer. You have absolutely no idea how this incident unfolded. I find your question irresponsible and offensive. This was the worst law enforcement tragedy in years and you want to place blame?

The bad tactic was not having the perp locked up and behind bars. Then this would not have happened. Very sad and avoidable.

Exactly. The judicial system 's version of catch & release is directly responsible for today's crime problem. Absolutely no consequences for their actions and they're learning this at an earlier age.

I am not a law enforcement expert but I do possess some common sense. Wouldn’t it be better to snatch up the bad guy when he is out and about instead of his barricaded house full of guns and ammo? These failures happen too often. Those who do not study history are doomed to repeat it.

Actually, with all due respect, it was NOT just a minor story in another state, at all.

However, people who make a choice not to be aware of current events, who are apathetic or who watch only certain networks would never have seen this tragic story as it occurred in North Carolina.

We, who are informed and those of us who 'Back the Blue' mourn for these Marshalls and for the Officers who were injured.

They were the Good Guys and we are absolutely keeping their families and fellow officers left behind, in our thoughts and our prayers.
Empathy. Compassion. Let's consider getting back to the Basics of understanding in this world of upheavel.
These were the good guys in a very fast, evolving, volitile situation.
It's all of our loss when we lose a dedicated, highly trained law enforcement officer, let alone several fine officers and it's all of our tragedy to deal with, whether we want to acknowledge it, or not.

NOT A SMALL STORY and I resent that implication. It is National News.

R.I.P.

A minor story in another state? Far from a minor story, and absolutely tragic.

Totally agree. Monday morning quarterbacking as usual. Unless you were part of the incident, you have no idea of the pre planning. Have some empathy and sympathy for the families
