SovCits are an uncommon nuisance in America but rarely are they murderers or cop killers.
Not true on both counts. A post I made in the Australian Politics thread:
And I hope people don’t think this may be in the wrong thread, because the so called sovereign citizen movement is growing in Australia and this is a political issue. A couple of years ago two police were killed serving a warrant on sov cits in Queensland. Just over a week ago 4Corners ran a show on these idiots.
A growing coalition of groups who reject the legitimacy of governments and courts are engaged in what some call a "quasi-civil war".

But the stakes have now risen and Australia needs to crack down on these evil cookers. Two police were killed and one injured in the (normally peaceful) Victorian high country serving a warrant for sex crimes. The police seemed well prepared with 10 officers attending, but were ambushed by this sovereign citizen. He is still at large with his wife and children.
The situation in Porepunkah, about 300km north-east of Melbourne, is an "active incident" with dozens of police and emergency services at the scene.

- A manhunt is under way after two police officers were shot dead in the small alpine town of Porepunkah in Australia's Victoria state
- A 59-year-old detective and a 35-year-old senior constable have been killed, police say, and a third officer is in hospital with non life-threatening injuries
I worked for Victoria Police for many years, still know serving police and have a son-in-law in the job.
A lot is unknown. Yes,10 police is a decent number, but did they all have body armour and guns drawn?
A very sad day, but governments around Australia need to show no mercy to the disregard of the law by sov cits, and drive them into the ground.
Finally I would not shed a tear if the shooter doesn’t get out of this alive, as long as his family is safe.
