“...Storie insisted that if the Guerena family had permitted the armed intruders into their home...”
Perhaps if they’d knocked at the door and presented their warrant they WOULD have been admitted, but it doesn’t sound like the cops even tried that tatic.
This is a very creepy, scary, story. And the after-the-fact actions of the cops is the scariest part of it.

That comment could be a dog whistle directed at the segment of Arizona's population that considers Joe Arpaio a champion of law and order, rather than a viscous, opportunistic thug: Rather than seeing Jose Guerena as an honorably discharged Marine and (of infinitely greater importance) loving young husband and father, at least some Arizonans now have an excuse to suspect that he's an agent of the Reconquista plot.
Bush's fault. Come on. They just couldn't leave it go. Let me guess what is next. It is Sarah Palin"s fault. He had a case and lost it in the fog of liberalism!

" ... considers himself to be at war with the population his department ostensibly protects and serves ... "
That's the scary thing. It seems the police forces nationwide, at all levels of government, have begun to see themselves as a separate class, different, above, and isolated from the population they ostensibly serve.
That level of isolation, and self serving insulation injures the concept of responsible government this country is founded upon, enshrined in the Constitution.

This sort of comment does NOTHING to impress this Arizonan...
I despise forced entry home assaults by cops. I don’t think the ‘need’ to grab evidence is a reason for busting down doors, since it assumes guilt - but this raid was NOT a racist plot by white men trying to keep the brown man down.

This is a much more informative article about this man’s murder. These cops, judge and sheriff are truly dispicable.

The SWAT operators "had no choice but to shoot"... That is FUNNY! Now, these murdering punk thugs are "OPERATORS".
You know, JUST LIKE the SEAL Operators that took down Bin Laden only a couple of days before.
Well, kind of... you know, sort of... almost...

re: adding up to the American colonial rebellion
IMHO, we're worse off today than they were in the 1770’s. Their chief antagonist was the King and his troops. Crime was practically nonexistent, at least to the extent we have today. Citizens today are caught in the middle, the ‘law’ on one side and violent criminals, armed to the teeth, on the other. Like the Tennessee Ernie Ford song of the 50’s said “If the right don't get you, then the left one will!”
This is a situation where everyone involved needs to be frozen where things are and send in an investigative team with the ability and authority to find out what happened. Let the chips fall where they fall. That team should come from someplace as far from there as practical.
The incidence of these situations is increasing at an alarming rate across the country. If we don't get a handle on it pretty quickly it will soon be beyond control.
As with EVERYTHING government does any program, plan or policy they instigate, regardless of how appropriate it was to start with, eventually outlives its usefulness and becomes a greater threat to those it is supposed to benefit than the original problem.

Might it be military-issue clothing in Guerenas possession the kind of combat couture affected by jock-riding poseurs of the kind who gravitate toward SWAT teams? Ouch!

Writer's Rule #1 -- Tell your reader what you're talking about within the first 50 words.
Sorry, Mr. Grigg, but I lasted about 4 paragraphs and still had no clue what you're talking about. I'm sure there's a point somewhere in that pile of words, but I'm not wading any deeper into the mess looking for it.
