SWAT teams need to go away. If they were being used the way they were sold to the citizens, and storming into known drug and gang fortified buildings and blowing away the known hardcore gangs, I would have a different opinion.

They are not used at all the way they were sold to people.

All cops know where the drug hideouts and gang buildings are in their cities. The fact they are not taking these people down and shooting them the way they shoot individual citizens who believe their home is being invaded is evidence they need to go away.

they will not go away, as this is part of the globalization plan of turning each nation’s police force into internal security forces. State Dept Pub 5277 Freedom From War.

I cant believe that the SWAT team couldnt clear one frigging house in less than an hour. Holy crap.

Outrageous.

Why do we need so many SWAT teams? How often does the city of Tucson need a SWAT team right now?

If you have to have them, have them only in major cities like Detroit, LA, Phoenix, Dallas, etc. I just cant see many situations that would require the immediate need of a SWAT team without proper foresight.

Use that money we save for more patrolmen

It's time to start building castles again.

Another unintented consequence of the wars on drugs, talking back, texting, fatty foods and hurtful thoughts.

As William Penn said: If you'll not be governed by God, you will ruled by tyrants.

Abuse of liberty ends up in the loss of liberty.

As Ben Franklin said: "Only a virtuous people are capable of freedom. As nations become more corrupt and vicious, they have more need of masters."

"Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other." John Adams

"The diminution of public virtue is usually attended with that of public happiness, and the public liberty will not long survive the total extinction of morals." Samuel Adams

"Lastly, our ancestors established their system of government on morality and religious sentiment. Moral habits, they believed, cannot safely be on any other foundation than religious principle, nor any government be secure which is not supported by moral habits." Daniel Webster

Why hasn't the Governor called in the State Bureau of Investigation on this. There will never be a honest investigation if the parties involved are allowed to do their own investigation. We have already seen some of the statements released to indicate what their final analysis will say, that the shooting was justified.

And another thing why is it the Swat team has hired their own attorney? Doesn't the county have their own attorney?

And why hasn't the warrent been released as required by law?

A Tucson, Ariz., SWAT team defends shooting an Iraq War veteran 60 times during a drug raid, although it declines to say whether it found any drugs in the house and has had to retract its claim that the veteran shot first.

I can assure all, if any substantial amount of drugs were found in the home, the police down in Tucson would have broadcasted this to all.

Come on over here and repeat your claim that people like this DESERVE to be shot and killed without a trial.

What is the governor of Arizona doing?

Does John McCain not have an opinion on this?

What about the Arizona State Police?

Or does everyone have their finger up their sphincter?

And the Pima County sheriff scolded the media for "questioning the legality" of the shooting.

How dare you question your betters? We ARE the law! Of course anyone we shoot is shot legally!

Nope, it’s inexcusable and I’ll bet they found nothing at Guerena’s house or any of the others they claim they raided at the same time. They can’t even get their story straight about whether they were investigating a ring of drug dealers or a gang of home invaders.
