When King County prosecutors filed charges against Christopher Monfort this morning, they also released a great deal of information about the police investigation behind the murder of Officer Timothy Brenton and the firebombing at the Charles Street maintenance facility.

Included in court documents released this morning is the full text of a note left at the site of the Charles Street bombing:

October 22nd is the 14th National day of protest to stop police brutality. These Deaths are dedicated to Deputy Travis Bruner, he stood by and did nothing, as Deputy Paul Schene Brutally beat and Unarmed 14 yera old Girl in their care. You Swear a Solemn Oath to Protect US from All Harm, That includes You ! Start policing each other or get ready to attend a lot of police funerals.

We Pay your bills.

You Work for us.

Up to this point, police have implied that the note did not include any threats of future violence against officers. Last week, Assistant Chief Jim Pugel said the note was written in "past tense." However, with the release of the note, it's clear that wasn't the case.

As I wrote last weekend, some officers are upset about the lack of warning from the department that someone who had meticulously planned an attack on a secure city facility had threatened further violence against police. The department's decision, unfortunately, proved fatal.

While there's no way to know for sure whether releasing the note to officers—or at least providing them with a more specific warning—would have prevented Officer Brenton's death, it's clear the department had reason to believe that whoever left note behind presented a serious threat to officer safety, despite what they've said thus far.
