Regardless of whether he killed those cops, why is he on the street?

I have a buck that says Mr. Clemmons doesn't live to be 'questioned'.

Any takers?

Nine years ago, then-Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee granted clemency to Clemmons, commuting his lengthy prison sentence over the protestations of prosecutors.

If this is true bye bye Huckabee..

Well, there really isn’t such a thing as an Ex-felon, is there?

My bad.

Probably an early release to reduce prison overcrowding.
Death penalty for these killers is so unkind.

...as long as the SOB suffers a slow and painful death. I say that as a nice guy, but as the son of and the father of an NYPD officer.

Diana, you did call this, but I’m wondering how?

Do ex-felons hate cops so much that sometimes they just start shooting like this?

It makes sense, but I’m wondering how you narrowed it down.

I would’ve guessed “Moslem” since it’s near the military base.

"I have a buck that says Mr. Clemmons doesn't live to be 'questioned'."

One between the running lights would see to that.

How about accountability for the parole board that let him go...if true, this is insane!

Word on one article is that two police died sitting, one standing up and one followed the perp to the door while shooting. Supposed they are looking for someone who has a bullet wound.
