Just heard that the Govenor has finally directed that flags at all state agency facilities be lowered to half-staff on Tuesday. Don't know what took her so long to direct this as most everyone have already done it on their own.

She directed on De. 1st see below!



For Immediate Release: December 1, 2009

OLYMPIA – Governor Chris Gregoire has directed that flags at all Washington State agency facilities be lowered to half-staff in memory of Lakewood Police Officer Ronald Owens, a former member of the Washington State Patrol, and his colleagues, Officer Greg Richards, Officer Tina Griswold, and Sgt. Mark Renninger, who were all killed on Sunday.

Officer Owens served with the Washington State Patrol from 1997-2004.

Flags should remain at half-staff until close of business Tuesday, December 8, or first thing Wednesday morning, December 9.

My apology, did not see the earlier directive as I've been out of town since the 30th.

I watched the what I could of the services this afternoon on NWCN. It was touching and brought back many memories of my dad's funeral.

May they now rest in peace.

Suspected getaway driver charged with murder in Lakewood officers' deaths

STACEY MULICK - THE NEWS TRIBUNE (TACOMA)

TACOMA - Pierce County prosecutors have charged an acquaintance of cop killer Maurice Clemmons with four counts of aggravated first-degree murder in the deaths of four Lakewood police officers last year.

Darcus Allen, who is suspected of driving Clemmons to and from the scene of the deadly shooting, will be arraigned on the charges - the state's only crime that carries a possible death sentence - at 3 p.m. Tuesday, March 2. The charges were filed this morning, according to Superior Court records.

Allen, 38, has been in custody since Dec. 1.

Clemmons, 37, walked into a Parkland Forza coffee shop the morning of Nov. 29 and gunned down Lakewood police Sgt. Mark Renninger and officers Tina Griswold, Greg Richards and Ronald Owens. The four had been preparing for the start of their work day. All four died at the scene.

A Seattle police officer shot and killed Clemmons less than 48 hours later during a confrontation near an abandoned, stolen vehicle on a residential street. Clemmons was armed with the gun of one of the slain officers.

In the days after the officers were killed, law enforcement officers arrested seven of Clemmons' family members and friends.

Six of them have been charged with various counts of rendering criminal assistance. Prosecutors allege they gave money, transportation and medical aid to Clemmons, who was shot by officer Richards, in the hours after the shooting at Forza.

The four Lakewood officers killed Nov. 29 - (from left to right) Greg Richards, Tina Griswold, Ronald Owens and Mark Renninger.

Since his arrest in December, the 38-year-old Allen has been held on an Arkansas fugitive warrant as detectives investigated what he knew about Clemmons plans before the officers were killed and what he did afterward.

The Arkansas warrant charges Allen with robbery, theft and probation violations. Allen served time in an Arkansas prison after being convicted as an accomplice in a double murder 19 years ago.

Allen and Clemmons both served time in the Arkansas prison system. They spent as long as a month together in the 1990s in the same open barracks at two different units of the prison system, Arkansas corrections officials reported in December.

The open barracks are similar to military barracks. They house between 50 and 100 inmates, depending on the year and the prison.

In today's Seattle Times: http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/l ... st07m.html

"Kelly said he tried to radio for help three times, but his radio "bonked" — police jargon for failing to connect."

Really? Three times? At 2:45AM in the morning? Could that be true? I thought certain talkgroups were supposed to have priority on the system?

Sort of....it probably had less to do with priority levels. The bonk he probably got was a type of "out of range" tone, not necessarily a "system busy" tone. Depending on his positioning around the car, buildings, if he was moving around obstacles quickly, if his antenna was buried in his armpit....the control channel signal could have been briefly screwed up...or the talk-request signal from his portable could have been screwed up. The radio will "bonk" if there's some corruption in the data stream, or if the perceived signal at the radio isn't "good enough".

It's a bit more technical than that....Wiz or Sean may elaborate on it better....

I've experienced it many times....usually daily. It's just how the system is. When not under stress, it's not too difficult to fix (by moving around, repositioning antennas...).

When you're getting ready for a gun battle, it's a bit more complicated - and unwelcome.

The bonk more like than likely is a "not allowed to interrupt" bonk. Once a user has secured a voice channel, another field unit cannot interrupt, except for a console. Training, Training, Training....
