sounds like more sand-dancing to me.
He only purchased his house 2 months before.
he was working 12 hour shifts at a mining company.
he had NOTHING on his record but traffic tickets.
...in 2 years of supposedly investigating him,
he did nothing they could arrest him for?
...they admit the SWAT team found NOTHING criminal in the search, after they murdered him.
most likely, if the “informant” story is true, which i doubt, the informant was lying to the Sheriff.
in which case, the informant should be charged as an accessory to murder.
He purchased the house in December. I’m guessing it was a repo. There are lots of those in the area. There are nicer ones for the same price. It just doesn’t fit what I would expect from a drug dealer. Now the house where the relatives who were murdered lived was a really nice house though it was a rental. And it was in a more rural location. The Guerena house is in a very large neighborhood though the neighborhood is in the middle of nowhere.
Criminal behavior? Look in the mirror Pima SWAT.
Drug dealers are lazy. That is why they are drug dealers instead of working an honest job. Drug dealers do not work 12 hour shifts at Asarco Copper Mining and or smelting. It is hot dangerous hard work.
The sheriff is either a blithering idiot or they had the wrong house. It may be both blitering idiot and the wrong house. Please note he bought the house two months prior.
A Marine would not go into a actively hostile combat situation with his rifle on safety. The news reports did not say if he had a round chambered. If they did not, I suspect he did not have a round chambered. He probably picked up his rifle just in case there were bad guys outside. He probably expected to find nothing or some punk kid. Swat guys saw a rifle in his hand and opened fire.
A Marine would not be crouched at the end of the hall in a stance for firing without a round in the chamber and the rifle off of safety. If a combat Marine was in this position he would have been ready to fire and would have gotten off a few rounds.
Why in the hell would they use the SWAT team to go after this (alleged drug dealer) in his home where there may be weapons and innocents around? It would have been very easy to arrest him at work with three cops not in uniform. If it was evidence they were after, a search warrant for his home and car would have been easy to obtain. I would much rather search an (alleged drug dealers) home and car knowing he is locked up in jail.
Why why why why were medical personnel denied access to the victim while he bleed out? Someone on the SWAT team must have known immediately that a major screw up had happened. The sheriff is in COVER HIS ASS mode. They F---ed Up big time and know it.
