>> You defend the jackbooted thugs when they murder an innocent American? <<
I can’t tell you how many descriptions I’ve read of this which make no mention of the fact that he had a weapon in his hand, pointed at the police. Do you really think there’s any way the police could’ve known it wasn’t loaded or had the safety on?
It’s a tragedy. It’s not murder. It possibly should cause some reform of police procedure; If the amount of drugs is so low that someone COULD dispose of them down the toilet in one flush, there was no basis for the raid in the first place. Unfortunately, with so many hystrionics about this, there’s very little in substance for reasonable reform being spoken about.
The greatest problem I have is that after a mortal injury, rescue workers were not permitted on the scene.
Does it escape your notice that NOTHING ILLEGAL WAS FOUND IN HIS HOUSE?
Yet they showed up like a frickin ARMY and shot him down.
If you think American citizens do not have the right to defend themselves from such brute thuggery, simply because they are outgunned by the thugs, them shame on you.
He was murdered. Government sponsored murder is not acceptable, simply because the State says it’s okay.
See: Nazi Germany.
Wake the hell up. This is America.
Which is the correct place for a Marine to point his weapon when his door flies open? These amateur keystone cops, who couldn't even determine if his wife was in the house with children saw a weapon and opened fire. They unloaded over 70 rounds into a man who has served two tours as a combat Marine, who at least had the common sense to assess the situation before pulling the trigger. He saftey was still on, who do you think the amateur/wannabes in the that video are?
Well, the cops lied about him firing on them. Did he point a weapon at them? Did he even own that weapon or have it in his possession when they fired on him? The wife had never seen it before. She was very consistent about this through hysteria and shock. And it sure didn’t sound like he had time to retrieve said hidden/unknown weapon. The cops interrogated her without reading her her rights before they reinterrogated her after reading her her rights.
And I would pay no attention to the siren blurp that was audible inside the SWAT vehicle. It was so short that it would have barely registered in my head if at all. If the siren had been blaring and continued blaring when they were knocking on the door, then maybe I would have realized there were cops at the door. I didn’t hear them say anything after the busted the door open. And the wife said Jose, in his underwear, was on the way to open the door. No gun in hand at that point. And he was awakened from a dead sleep.
Over and over she said “Where did that gun come from? That BIG gun?” blah blah blah
