This I agree with.

The article does not misrepresent this. The issue being raised is about how they were tried/convicted/sentenced. The part you quoted shows this.

I'm genuinely interested in what "terrorism" means to you.

Terrorism comes from word terror - it is use of violence to impose terrorist goals. Usually political. The fact that they have chosen as a target police is just return to classical terrorism that existed 100+ years ago. Targeting innocents by taking hostages, 911 or blowing up cooker are quite recent developments for terrorist activities. What was your definition for terrorism?

My view is still relatively classical, significant unsanctioned violence used for political means. I would also be interested to see how other people are now defining this.
