Breaking news in Lakewood, WA – four on-duty police officers were ambushed and killed at a popular coffee house in Parkland, Washington - The Forza Coffee Shop – located near McChord Air Force Base in Tacoma.   The officers, three men and one women, were working on their laptops before beginning their shifts – all in uniform with police cars parked in front of the coffee shop.   The murderer fled the scene and it is unknown if there was more than one attacker.

This is a heinous crime.  Here in Spokane, with all our troubles and complaints, we still must contend that the majority of our police force includes top of the line, courageous and stalwart, fine men and women who put their lives on the line to keep us safe.   This is egregious in every way. 

We at Community Comment extend our heartfelt sympathies to the families, friends, and the Lakewood Police Department.
