To: Psalm 144
Just a few thoughts:

From the PDF report of one of the officers involved, when asked about how he was identified:
"Uh, on my vest I have a, uh, circular patch that says Sheriff on it. Um, I think on my back I have Uh, a Sheriff patch.... (etc)."

Lest we forget, there have been articles posted here at FR and other places in the last couple of weeks that the Cartels members are wearing police uniforms quite regularly.

Between that, and the new 'laws' there are going to be a lot more killings, and not always bad guys and suspected bad guys, what with all the new "no knock warrants" and the new "You don't need a warrant at all if you are suspicious" ruling from the Supreme Court.

Of course 0bama, and his co-conspirators want it that way. They want warfare between the enforcers and the civilians. It will help them shut down the Constitution completely.

Plus, the Sergeant, On page 11 of the PDF doesn't even know for certain how he was armed when the raid started. That is true professionalism.

This is a very distressing event, even if the SWAT team did everything 'right' and even if it turns out that Guerena was as dirty and dangerous as they claim. I hate to see stuff like this, because I appreciate the tough and dangerous job that police officers do, and like pretty much all of the ones I am acquainted with and /or have met in the performance of their duties. But I also have a lot of love for freedom and the concept of innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.

This SWAT syndrome is gradually morphing into a classical Terror in the French and Soviet original meanings of the term. The Terror as in the original is state cơnducted random violence against the population to keep the citizenry or serfery off balance and unable to organize or even think about opposition. Everyone comes to fear his neighbors and even his children. The other facet of The Terror is encouragement of everyone ratting out everyone else for any reason at all. Rewards are given and the informing is claimed even when it doesn't happen.
