SWAT said it did not expect Jose's wife and young son to be home. But, it also did not expect the Marine to point a semi-automatic weapon their way; saying, according to authorities, "I've got something for you!"

I have my doubts about this.

I know people watch movies. I know people think it's cool to have a "catch phrase" you can use before you open fire and blow away all of your enemies -- but really!

People are breaking into your home, you've heard them coming, you're holding your rifle, and as they come through the door, what does a normal human (not a Hollywood superstar) what does a normal human do?
a) Unleash the catch phrase
b) Fire the weapon.

They want me to believe that this guy took the time to unleash the catch phrase first but then ran out of time and was never able to fire the weapon.

Sorry. Not believing that one.

And he was a Marine. You are right. The cops are liars.

It’s almost like they wanted to report that he said “say hello to my little friend” but someone thought that would be too on the nose. Lets see if they leak that he had coke smeared all over his face as well.

I don’t believe it either.

It’s getting ridiculous the way the police are getting away wit raids on people’s homes. They claim they didn’t know his wife and child were there. What did they know? Where did they expect them to be? Don’t they have a lookout on the homes they get ready to raid?

No way they could get off the first shot on a marine who had an intention to shoot them.Definitely not 71 of them.
What are the rules of engagement? When a shot is fired everybody start shooting? It’s a miracle anyone survived.

I got something for you

Unleash the catch phrase or Fire the weapon.

I think that phrase come from Al Pacino in the movie Scarface. That makes it even more suspect. Also as a trained combat Marine his instinct is to identify danger and fire. His instinct is not to play Al Pacino.

I think this is going to be a murder trial before it is over.
