BLOOMING GROVE, PA - State police searching for a man accused of killing a state trooper said Tuesday they found two pipe bombs in the Pennsylvania woods during their manhunt.
Lt. Col. George Bivens said the bombs were fully functional but not deployed. He says they could have been set off by either a trip wire or fuse, but appear to be among items that were hastily discarded.

Well said F15Eagle, well said.
I know there are many good police officers, but overall, I don’t think we trust them anymore. Unfortunately, they have become a reflection of our society: poorly disciplined and brutal.
It’s now common for police to ‘militarize’ their departments, with equipment they DO NOT need. Really now, WHY do they need ‘mine resistant’ vehicles?
‘No Knock’ warrants served on the wrong addresses are common, the shooting of dogs, and yes, even babies, is likewise common.
I pray that justice is done...
I agree. The pipe bombs were left to be found on purpose. I’ll bet they slow down their search as a result. He was taunting them, “I could have setup an ambush and you would have walked right into it”.
I’m definitely not rooting for him, what I am saying is that he is smart and capable and you had better keep the amateurs back out of the way. I’m guessing but I predict he will go out the same way as that cop in California.
there has been so much lying about this case.
I am still waiting for the authorities to admit that this is about a trooper having sex with the wife of a man whose brother then got some bro payback.
It wasn’t right, it was a crime, but they’re not coming clean about what’s going on here.
It seems the new standard is to treat citizens like idiots and lie to them constantly.
It’s disgusting.
the pipe bomb angle seems like fanciful Hollywood bs that has the political goal of renewing the notion that he’s some kind of Jason Bornesque survivalist.
this really sounds made up.
The authorities are inveterate liars.
Overtime for 1,000+ police.
Impending lawsuits for Fourth Amendment violations by residents in the area.
All the equipment.
$100,000 reward.
No-doubt if Frein had killed a civilian, there would not be this huge, intensive dragnet to catch him. That's what bothers me the most. All this is to satisfy their vendetta because he killed one of their own, as with Dorner. It's tantamount to saying that police believe their lifes are more important than civilians.
I could have killed them all. And you too.
In town you’re the law, here l am.
Don’t push it.
Don’t push it, or l’ll give you a war you won’t believe.
Let it go.
Let it go.

No, this is a display by the “elected” suits showing us taxpayers how important their security force / revenue collection agents are to them.
“I am still waiting for the authorities to admit that this is about a trooper having sex with the wife of a man whose brother then got some bro payback.”
That would be pretty hard for them to admit when family and neighbors were all interviewed and said they never saw an affair, and then the brother and sister-in-law even passed polygraph tests.
Assault on a police officer typically comes with separate charges and higher penalties. This has been going on for decades. It started not because their lives are more important, but because they are more likely to be assaulted than the average person.
Manhunts like this are to create “optics” to scare other people from trying the same. If they let this guy go, the cops know many times more disgruntled woodsmen would attempt the same. Relations with LE are at an all time low and there are plenty of people out there who had their lives ruined by LE/Govt corruption.
I'm guessing that Frein had "an interaction" with the trooper who was shot below the belt, and that Frein was informed that a King's Man had Droit De Seigneur over peasant wenches like his sister-in-law.
"And just what are you going to do about it, peasant Eric Frein?"
