Of course the shooter wasn't "justified or righteous" in ambushing the two cops.
But........ it's what's in HIS mind that will determine his actions going forward. Based on his previous actions, he very well may shoot any cop that closes on him.
I sure as hell wouldn't put on a uniform and go into the brush after him, and I doubt the cops are doing that. THAT would be the type of "aggressive action" I had in mind when I made my comment.
Ditching his jeep means one of two things as I see it:
He has an accomplice who got him out of the area, or.....
He has no intention of escaping, and just wants to kill more cops.
Either way, waiting him out has little chance of success.
