TWO IOWA COPS KILLED IN AMBUSH – AT 9:25 A.M. ET:  The story has gone national, and is reminding Americans of the war on police that has been waged by extreme elements over the last two years.  From Fox: 

Authorities in Iowa have identified the suspected gunman in the ambush-style attacks early Wednesday morning-- occurring 20 minutes apart-- that claimed the lives of two police officers who were sitting in their patrol cars.

Authorities said Scott Michael Greene, 46, is considered armed and dangerous. He is about 5'11 and 180 pounds and is believed to be driving a blue 2011 Ford F-150 with an Iowa license plate 780 YFR.

State officials are conducting a massive manhunt.

Officers responded to a report of shots fired at 1:06 a.m. and found an Urbandale Police Department officer who had been shot. Authorities from several agencies saturated the area after that shooting, and about 20 minutes later discovered that a Des Moines officer had been shot in a patrol car at an intersection. The shootings happened less than 2 miles apart and both took place along main streets that cut through residential areas.

“There's somebody out there shooting police. There is a clear and present danger to police officers right now,” he said.

COMMENT:  The murders remind us of the executions of two New York City cops last year, as they sat in their patrol cars. 

The war on cops has been assisted, sadly, by a certain hostility toward police by the Obama administration.  Let's see if the Clinton campaign acknowledges today's tragedy.  It was recently reported that the Clinton operation made it clear to a police organization that it wasn't interested in their endorsement, such is the power of the left in the Democratic Party.
