Words have meanings.

Terrorism is
(1) the attack
(2) on innocents
(3) for a political end.

You need all three elements.

If it makes the police chief feel better to label him a terrorist, go for it. But its an inaccurate use of the word.

terrorism
[ter-uh-riz-uh m]
noun
the use of violence and threats to intimidate or coerce, especially for political purposes.

"Especially" does not mean "only"
