How many shots would you fire if you were the cop trying to serve a warrant on a marine with a gun who lives in a world where he expects other drug runners to do a home invasions on him, just like he does on others?
Id like to meet the cop who would volunteer to risk his life to politely knock on the door to serve that warrant.
Ok, that’s enough. Either back up your bull bleep with verifiable sources that DO NOT have an axe to grind in this matter, such as ANY LOCAL LE, or start apologizing for besmirching a young man who served his country honorably, was by all accounts an honorable man, and was ruthlessly gunned down by some useless breathers with badges and guns they were never qualified to carry.
Cops serving warrants knock on doors and allow homeowners the opportunity to answer.
Criminals breaking into homes kick them down and gun down anyone getting in their path.
Stop slinging mud on the honor of this marine, whose crimes did not mandate the death penalty.
Did he receive: trial by jury or execution?
Which would you prefer to receive? Trial by jury, or execution?
Jose Guerena was arrested in 2009 but not charged for drug possession, having drug paraphernalia and weapon misconduct.
Arrested but not charged. I’m so SURE that makes him eligible for summary execution by the SWAT scumbags. And that’s the best you got? What’s the source for this? Would it be local LE than stands to gain by smearing this young Marine?
Drug possession is not an executable offense.
Do you believe that SWAT teams ought to execute citizens for even minor violations of the law?
Would you approve of a citizen being gunned down because he had too many speeding tickets? How about a busted tail light?
Would you approve of a SWAT team coming to your home and executing you if you committed a non-executable offense?
I’m with Miller on this. I sure don’t appreciate a SWAT team showing up in a residential neighborhood and shooting holes through houses without regard for the occupants in the other houses. If someone is considered so dangerous that a SWAT team is needed to serve a SEARCH warrant, then maybe the neighborhood should be evacuated. Or maybe the subject should be detained prior to the search warrant being executed.
The Republican party in Pima County is obviously filled with a bunch of cowards. And the day that Ruth McClung wrote on her Facebook that she stands with law enforcement apparently with no regard to the rightness of their actions was the day I decided to no longer stand with her. Maybe she likes poorly planned and executed SWAT raids in her neighborhood.
I am not a cop hater. On the contrary. But I will not support injustice.
Well, you know, some citizens have to be more equal than others. Apparently, Jose Guerena and his family are in the....less equal category.
