Kentucky Police Department Receives Threat of More Police Ambushes to Come

A small-town Kentucky police department mourning the ambush slaying of one of its men has received threats that more officers will be targeted, prompting an investigation by the FBI and state police, the police chief said Tuesday.

The department received a written threat last week that "there are more to come," a reference to the nighttime ambush slaying of Bardstown Officer Jason Ellis, 33, last month while the K-9 officer was headed home from work, said Chief Rick McCubbin.

"We don't even know if any of the threats are credible, but obviously we're going to treat them as if they are credible," McCubbin said, adding that police would continue operating as usual, while taking extra precautions, in Bardstown, a town of 12,000 about 40 miles southeast of Louisville.

Now, let's take a guess. Is this the work of a gun nut or a gun control advocate?

  1. Right, because it has to be one or the other. It can't be just a crazy person or a drug dealer who is upset that he's feeling the pinch from law enforcement.

  2. Or maybe it's not even about guns...

    [boom] mind-blown

  3. Mikeb, have you heard of the fallacy of the false dichotomy? In the absence of evidence, I can come up with multiple explanations about the motives of the person or persons here. This is the point. You jump to conclusions because you think it's fun to do so. Grow up, man. There are deeper enjoyments that the adult mind can attain.

  4. I know I get myself into trouble like this, but I'm bettin' he's one of you gun nuts who's just fed up with the authority figures who he knows will eventually be comin' for his guns. Even he knows it's not gonna be the Marines.

    1. You are a sad, sick little man, sitting around, drooling, just waiting for SOME mentally unstable person to go over the edge, call it resisting tyranny, and give you that LONGED FOR release--"See! I was right! One of them Snapped! In your Faces!"

      Every time it turns out to just be a nut, it just heightens the tension since you build it up only to have your hope denied.

    2. I'm not drooling. And whether you want to admit it or not, lawful gun owners are going over the edge every day. The reason is the bar is set way too low for qualifying for gun ownership. That's the way you want it, the results are yours to own. If that makes me a sad sick little man who's sitting around drooling, what does it make you? A champion of freedom?

    3. Lawful owners, plural, every day? How about you put some numbers based on facts to that claim? Let's see if it's a large percentage of the total or not.

  5. That might be a bad bet. Remember, the last time you gave an opinion regarding crime, it ended up being a woman framing her soon to be ex by sending poisoned letters to the President pretending to be a gun nut. Then of course there was in the recent past, an ex-cop who decided to kill off people he thought had wroned him. Though I suppose the ex-cop would likely have qualified as a gun nut.

    1. Maybe by Mike's definition under which Mark Kelly qualifies too. Never mind that the ex-cop's manifesto demanded gun control and listed one of his goals as showing the need for gun control so that people couldn't have the firepower he was going to use.
