People target soldiers and police officers and old ladies and Shia pilgrams in Israel, Saudi Arabia Pakistan, Philippines, India all the time with cars, buses and even bulldozers. Over there it's done by militants and terrorists. We don't have those in the United States or do we??
Nobody seems to have any idea or clue as to the cause or possible motive for these accidents or attacks, besides impairment or mental problems or simple accidents, certainly not terrorism.
When there is no cause or motive for an incident whose sole object appears to hurt somebody for no reason at all, terrorism should always be considered as the only explanation that makes sense.

Murder of Timothy Brenton - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The murder of Timothy Brenton occurred on October 31, 2009, in the Central District of Seattle, Washington, United States. Brenton, an officer with the Seattle Police Department, was seated in a parked patrol car with another officer discussing a traffic stop when a gunman stopped his vehicle alongside the patrol car, opened fire on the two officers, and fled the scene. Brenton died at the scene and his partner sustained minor injuries.[1] One week later, as a public memorial service for Brenton was being held at KeyArena, the suspected gunman was apprehended and seriously wounded after being shot by police officers in Tukwila.
The shooting by suspect Christopher Monfort is believed to have been a targeted attack against police officers in general, not against either officer individually. The suspect arrested in connection with the murder has also been charged in connection with the October 22, 2009, firebombing of Seattle police vehicles at a city maintenance facility.[2] No clear motive was established but he had left fliers discussing police brutality, and had expressed opinions against wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. He was accused of being a terrorist who waged a "one man war" against the police by authorities. [3]
