PARKLAND, Wash. -- Family members of the man wanted in connection with the slayings of four Lakewood police officers may be helping the fugitive hide from law enforcement, sources told KIRO 7 Eyewitness News reporter Kevin McCarty.
The sources said they suspect Maurice Clemmons' friends and family are trying to throw investigators off his trail as the 37-year-old tries to avoid capture.
Ever since Clemmons was named as a suspect in the fatal shooting of the Lakewood officers, police agencies have been inundated with calls and tips. Detectives said they now believe some false leads came from people trying to buy Clemmons time by keep search teams busy.
Police sources said evidence found at the scene of the home in Seattle where police thought Clemmons was holed up indicates he was still bleeding badly when he arrived there.
Officers were told he was still hiding in the house, but when police arrived, Clemmons was long gone.
Near the area where Clemmons' truck was found in Parkland, searchers looked for any clues left behind, including a blood trail.
Search and rescue team volunteers went door to door, looking through trash cans and in bushes for any possible evidence.

And they're right to a degree, it's just been an extremely slow warm up to simmer. We're not quite to boil, but for each subtle change we tolerate, such as armed guards in the airports, we're getting closer. It couldn't be done any other way.
Have not you, yourself, lived under a form of martial law most of your life? It's just a bit more sophisticated. To suspect that another kind of martial law of the mind is coming for the rest of the citizenry is not unreasonable.

I just read this guy had been "recently" allowed to leave jail for punching a cop in the face, raping a kid, and forcing a family to strip naked at gunpoint.
Anyone remember larry singleton? The guy raped then hacked off the arms of his victim, and left her for dead in a ditch(before someone at the last minute rescued her)
For some reason the state was really adamant about giving him a second chance after only 8 years, despite ALL the evidence he was even more psychotic...they quietly released him in a Florida suburb where he ended up not only killing a prostitute, but a whole family.
It's...almost like that powers that be *intentionally* let loose killers to keep the public in a state of fear.

Sure you can make some very valid points against Obamacare, but they weren't the ones I heard coming from the teaparties, and if it had been real single payer on the table, I imagine their rage would've only been fiercer.
Who needs a police state when people are that brainwashed - protesting public healthcare. People rejecting their own well being. Come on now.
