“You mean like “your presumption of guilt” concerning the mineworker/marine? “
Mineworker/marine...funny stuff, I can hear the violins playing softly.
My presumption doesn’t really matter. The facts of the incident do.
1. Serious investigation with enough evidence for judge to give out warrant to search 4 homes of suspected drug dealers and perps robbing other drug gangs off at gunpoint with double homicide.
2. SWAT teams attempts to serve warrant. A perp portrayed as dangerous and possibly a murderer points his AR 15 and yells, “I got something for ya”.
Result: Dead perp...He’d be dead in 99/100 of cases where this scenario played out.
Wake up and smell the coffee to the reality of what happened.
Apparently the facts of your hypocrisy don't matter. LOL What a jerk.
1. Serious investigation with enough evidence for judge to give out warrant to search 4 homes of suspected drug dealers and perps robbing other drug gangs off at gunpoint with double homicide.
So serious that there were no arrests made stemming from the raids? No drugs found at Guerena's house? Nothing but a Border Patrol hat you can buy at any truck stop and a few legal weapons that half of FR probably has in their gun safes?

You mean 'the alleged', right? Do you know the difference? Or do you simply think that since the cops shot him, he's de facto a criminal?
points his AR 15 and yells, I got something for ya.
Was that before or after he opened fire on the police? Oh, wait, did that initial story turn out to be a lie? Well, this one will be harder to disprove, so long as the boys keep their story straight.

Uh huh. You must play a lot of video games or be a big Charles Bronson fan.
I don't know if this guy is innocent or guilty, but the larger issue here is the clumsy ass militarization of the police.
For one, we did better at this stuff in Iraq and Afghanistan, and the paramilitary door kicking thing was new to us at first. If I get my door kicked in when Obama decides that being a FReeper is domestic terrorism, I'd at least hope that I get gunned down with something closer to SEAL Team VI performance that this Tucson clown car circus.
I mean, rather than clear the building and apply medical attention to the target, they let the guy bleed out while waiting an hour for the robot to poke his dead body to make sure he's dead-dead? Really? My commander (prior to screaming at me to do my damn job) would have laughed himself to tears if I had asked for that in Tikrit.
For two, this is America, not the Soviet Union. Or Iraq, for that matter. If this is what we want our country to be, then let's just toss the Constitution out and be done with it. Paying lip service to freedom and God given rights while cheering on the SWAT for acting like the Internal Security Bureau of some third world banana republic is intellectually dishonest.
Did he point a weapon at the front door?
Objectively speaking, the guy was, literally, a mineworker and a marine. He was also a father and a husband. What do you find funny about that?... you jerk.
Further, there is absolutely no conclusive evidence whatsoever that he did anything illegal or even WRONG.
According to you however, some judge somewhere issued a warrant, therefor all bets are off - even if he's dead because of utter incompetence and stupidity.
Welcome to my idiot list.
