The interpretation of the assassinations of the sheriff's deputies is .... what?

Was it to shut folks up; revenge; a signal to others to keep quiet? What?

I have no idea. My first guess would be violent nutcase who had an axe to grind against the local constabulary. But, could be anything I suppose. Terrorisim, signal to Trump from the CIA, etc. THis is another event that I have no plan to stretch my imagination.
