"The Pima County Sheriff's Office maintains the officers followed protocol during the raid"
They may have followed protocol. The question is whether the protocol was illegal or wrong.

Sounds like a Lawsuit waiting to happen. The widow needs to be in contact with a lawyer.

Protocol my a$$$! Did they go there to kill this guy and why?
Or was it another mistaken address due to a dispatcher who can't speak clearly?????

Investigation documents reveal officers seized guns, banking documents... Good thing they killed him. He had guns and banking documents.

They are sure trying to not give the "Oath Keepers" the exposure in the press.A group spent this Memorial Day protesting the SWAT raid which led to his death. Investigation documents reveal officers seized guns, banking documents and other items from the home but did not find drugs or cash.

"officers followed protocol"
- Obtain search warrant (even if only a relative of the real suspects)
- Call out amateur SWAT team with dubious rules of engagement.
- Approach home at night.
- Alert residents of dubious characters casing the joint.
- Wait for residents to get to guns
- Knock, wait 4 seconds, blast door.
- Enter while tripping.
- See resident with gun
- Squeeze off 70 rounds (+ 1 breaching round)
- Withdraw
- Wait until resident has bled out
- Blame resident for his own death
- Receive commendations

Everybody should read the critiques of the raid based on the helmet cam video by a former SWAT cop.
This was the Keystone Kommandos, bungling and stumbling their way into this fatal fiasco.
If/when it goes to court, SWAT experts are going to solidly condemn this Tucson cluster foxtrot.

Protocol? Raid?
They barely entered, and started shooting.

Marines and Patriot riders need to show up to protest.

Swat teams need to be disbanded completely.
