I haven’t seen a picture, but his name doesn’t sound like he is of the tribe.
“The man is captured on video pulling the 12-inch hatchet from a black backpack, police say.
While Bratton said authorities were working to identify the assailant, police sources told NBC News that the attacker had been tentatively identified as Zale Thompson, a 32-year-old man with a Facebook page containing images of what appears to be a Muslim warrior and prayers. However, authorities have found no links to extremist literature or jihadi groups at this time.”

Well - thank goodness. I'm glad he wasn't linked to any muslim terrorists!
I recall listening to some radio show, and they were saying how ISIS is using the internet to prompt “lone wolves” to act. Get some guy that already has a few screws loose, give him visions of grandeur, and then they are laying dead on the sidewalk a “martyr”.
Bratton didn’t know of any “MOTIVE” at the time.
Well, dumbo. Let’s try one called “to kill a cop”.
Everything else is secondary.
OK, he hasn’t changed his name, but we know his motivation.
