Please don't delay in establishing this man on the FBI's most wanted list and elevating it to a national all points bulletin.

My first instinct is to have the police retrace steps, including, whom knows for sure this is the suspect, whom provided false information to his location and why it would be benefit the killer to escape and the leave the area.

Clemmons family and acquintances should be called and asked to participate in his 'safe' capture to stand trial. If there is blood at the scene that a forensics expert could have captured that might be the killers does it match the known blood type AND DNA of Clemmons.

People are carrying a real grudge against the police of this region of the country. Why? Talk to community leaders and ascertain the reasons why these men decided to kill police officers and if they might know of any plans being formulated to carry out more of the same.

The Seattle/Tacoma area of the country may not have the 'manpower' to dedicate a sincere search for the cop killer that is still out and about. It is why the FBI needs to be involved to add support to the police force there. It would be better if all police activity were conducted within the confinds of police headquarters, even it is temporary quarters set up while all this mess continues. No 'single person' patrols either. Buddy up and realize there is not one moment when on duty they can let their guard down. It is going to be an interesting balance to have these officers functional while still on high alert for their own safety.

Any and all eyewitnesses that can contribute to a better picture of the violence, why and what the clues might be that will lead to the cop killer's where abouts and capture should come forward with a promise of rewards if the information proves invaluable to his capture and conviction. Until, Clemmons is captured it would be prudent to continue to build the knowledge base of this crime and entertain other suspects.

Clemmons may be too scared to come in and surrender, realizing he might not survive if confronted by armed police or agents. He should be given every chance to peacefully surrender, even if he is innocent, to protect himself from harm or any possible vigilante with a grudge.

I have a feeling it is easy to be a cop killer in this area of the country which usually enjoys reasonable peace and tranquility. Budget cuts are probably contributing to this as well. Any pending prosecutions that would send a message to speak to the violence should go forward and with public display of same. This has to stop and there needs to be every effort by every method to establish the sanctity of police officers and their benevolence to the community.

If only I could wave a magic wand and this was all over for everyone. Clemmons or any other possible suspect should be considered extremely dangerous as we already know this is some kind of 'methodology' that includes bomb making. I sincerely don't believe this is a mimic event. I believe there is a problem with a systematic methodology. There is no reason to proceed differently.

Citizens can be more helpful than they know if they call and report accurately any suspicions that would lead to the capture of this man or any other potential suspect. To act autonomously without training is not prudent and could disrupt capture if tried.

We'll get him. It is just a matter of time and SAFETY.
