As I posted earlier today, a thug killed 4 police officers in Lakewood, WA. Police have now identified the thug as Maurice Clemmons.
Clemmons has a long history of criminal behavior. In Arkansas: "In 1990, Clemmons, then 18, was sentenced in Arkansas to 60 years in prison for burglary and theft of property, according to a news account in Arkansas Democrat-Gazette. Newspaper stories describe a series of disturbing incidents involving Clemmons while he was being tried in Arkansas on various charges....When Clemmons received the 60-year sentence, he was already serving 48 years on five felony convictions and facing up to 95 more years on charges of robbery, theft of property and possessing a handgun on school property. Records from Clemmons' sentencing described him as 5-foot-7 and 108 pounds. The crimes were committed when he was 17."

And in Washington state: Clemmons had been in jail in Pierce County for the past several months on a pending charge of second-degree rape of a child. He was released from custody just six days ago, even though was staring at seven additional felony charges in Washington state.
Clemmons posted $15,000 with a Chehalis company called Jail Sucks Bail Bonds. The bondsman, in turn, put up $150,000, securing Clemmons' release on the pending child-rape charge.
This thug should have been in prison, but Mike Huckabee decided that he knew better and commuted this thugs sentence in Arkansas. "The reason Huckabee did this: News accounts say Huckabee commuted Clemmons' sentence, citing Clemmons' young age at the time the crimes were committed".
Huckabee is toast as far as a candidate for president or any other election, except maybe dog catcher, and may even be questionable. If he ever runs for anything in the future, his opponent will do Willie Horton type ads, just they did against Michael Dukakis.
The officers are: Officer Ronald Owen http://odmp.org/officer/20140-officer-ronald-owen
Officer Greg Richards http://odmp.org/officer/20139-officer-greg-richards
Officer Tina Griswold http://odmp.org/officer/20138-officer-tina-griswold
Sargent Mark Renninger http://odmp.org/officer/20137-sergeant-mark-renninger
Prayers go out to the Officers and their families and to the officers of the Lakewood Police Department.
