Prayers for the two police and their families.
Good?
My own answer is no. Guidance is fine. Voluntary self-isolation is fine, and strongly advisable for the more vulnerable. Most of them will do it by choice. But coercion is not fine. There is no moral or principled justification for it. Lord Sumpton
A good shooting here would be the perp in front of a firing squad by friends of the police officers he attempted to murder.

QuoteA fundraiser launched for the two LA deputies shot during an ambush over the weekend has amassed more than $315,000 in donations in just over 24 hours – as the reward for helping to locate the gunman responsible rises to $200,000.
The two officers - one, a 31-year-old woman, the other a 24-year-old man – were shot multiple times as they sat inside their patrol car outside the Metro Blue Line station at Willowbrook Avenue and Oak Street on Saturday night by a black male suspect who then fled the scene.
Both are now in a stable condition in hospital, and a massive manhunt is now underway for the hooded gunman, who’s said to be between the ages of 28 and 30.

Los Angeles-area authorities worked Tuesday to apprehend a suspected armed carjacker in a standoff amid suspicions he could be connected to the shooting of two sheriff's deputies over the weekend, according to media reports.
Los Angeles County Sheriff Alex Villanueva told several news outlets that the suspect is not linked to the ambush shooting of two transit deputies in Compton Saturday. However, KNBC-TV reported that multiple law enforcement sources said detectives are increasingly confident the suspect, who led authorities on a car chase Tuesday, is connected.
During the chase, the suspect reportedly jumped out of the vehicle and ran into a home in the Los Angeles suburb of Lynwood.
Authorities converged on the city, which borders Compton to the south, and evacuated an area during a search. Deputies wearing tactical gear and driving SWAT vehicles also responded.-- excerpt, rest at link above --

President Donald Trump called the two Los Angeles deputies who were shot and critically wounded last week as they sat in their patrol car. .......
“Both of the deputies and their families were very appreciative of the call!” the department wrote.
Her 24-year-old partner, who was also shot, has been released from the hospital and transferred to a long-term care facility.-- excerpt, rest at link above --
