I think it is interesting to see that our military treats our foreign enemy better than our police departments treat the citizenry. But then again the Feds and States view our citizenry as the real enemy and terrorists.
It definitely could have been handled much differently than this, effectively it’s a gubamint ‘sanctioned’ summary execution in a domicile of a decorated veteran in a ‘high-crime’ area .. if only he hadn’t gone for his weapon but knowing the area. The SS would be proud.
What could possibly happen that would be worse than this?
Dupnik, just leave already.
someone should check and see if Guereña had ever filed a complaint against the Sheriff's Department, anyone who works for the department, Or anyone related to anyone who works for the department.
Is there a grand jury formed to determine if indictments are forthcoming against the members and leadership of this SWAT team?
I don’t care about who the SWAT team leader was, or the chain of command. That question pretends that these raids don’t go on all across the fruited plain. No knock warrants by militarized Police.
I blame silly voters for giving up liberty for safety.
I blame feckless voters for providing virtually unlimited funding to Police.
I blame foolish voters who reward federal level politicians for funneling federal dollars into local P.D.’s.
I blame judges who extend more and more special protections to LE.
I blame judges who ignore the 4th amendment, and hate the 2nd.
I blame judges who’s only standard for writing a search warrant is: Just ASK!
I blame individual cops, many of them ex military who took an oath to “protect and defend the constitution” who spend their days and nights training to trick people into abrogating their 4th and 5th amendment rights. I blame individual cops who took the oath who crash down doors in the middle of the night because a snitch who is rewarded for snitching, snitches. I blame officer friendly for participating in clearly unconstitutional no knock raids. Unless these people are stupid, they KNOW what they are doing is wrong it makes no difference what the courts say.
I hold individuals responsible for their actions. That’s right. Officer friendly, when you enforce seat belt ordinances in localities you are perpetuating Federalism run a muck, and yes I hold you personally responsible.
How?
I will vote to de-fund you at every opportunity. That means sales tax increases and extensions. That means property tax milliages. I will do everything I can at every opportunity to convince others of the brutish, stupid, authoritarian nature of Police and LE in this country.
I will vote for any politician that wants to weaken your institution.
If I see officer friendly getting his clock cleaned on the side of the road, I keep on driving. Sucks to be you.
Militarized SWAT teams aren’t necessary 90 percent of the time they are deployed. We need to get back to citizen posses before this police state becomes worse than the old Soviet Union, and that won’t be long at the rate we are going.
There is an Oathkeepers muster in Tucson on Monday, May 30.
Details are posted at their web site www.oathkeepers.org.
Well, the LSM is certainly interested in individually ID'ing the Osama Seals.
Bingo!
Republican hands are just as dirty, if not moreso, when it comes to the war on drugs.
This whole thing just makes me sick. A warrior comes home from war and is gunned down by yahoos hiding behind a badge.
Raise your hands if you think any heads will roll over this.
Not even the LT leading the raid will lose his job.
Oh, goody! We have now heard from one of our resident libertarians, crying for drug legalization.

So do you think the Commerce Clause delegates to fedgov the authority to impose national prohibition... YES or NO?
I think I am pretty well fed up with the lawless and unreliable libertarians.
I think I am pretty well fed up with your pointless challenges.
The constitutions limits on our federal government are pointless?
Riiight.
