The Pima County Sheriff’s Department will release no more information about the circumstances surrounding the killing of Jose Guerena during the serving of a search warrant by the department’s SWAT officers May 5 at his home.
Two weeks after the shooting the department has yet to disclose exactly what they were searching for in the Guerena home ...
...
On May 5, five members of the SWAT team fired 71 shots at Guerena while serving a search warrant at the 7100 block of South Redwater Drive. He was shot 60 times.
The 26-year-old former Marine was sleeping at about 9:30 a.m. after working the graveyard shift at Asarco’s Mission Mine when his wife woke him saying she heard noises outside and saw a man was at their window.

Hope her lawyers go after the Pima County Deputies Association.
Has Dupnik released *any* statement concerning this killing of the Marine by his SWAT unit?
Only if you can prove that they were falsified with the express intent of bringing about the death of the victim. Otherwise, you have whatever AZ calls manslaughter at best, and even that is somewhat unlikely.
And to think ,the SWAT team refused medical treatment, even after it was apparent that the guy was lying there dying.
And to think, they initially tried to cover it up, by claiming the victim fired the first shot. and the sheriff was in it on the deception from the start. There are a lot of people that need to go to jail over this incident.
Actually, they will.
When the family takes 'em to court.
As Perry Mason, the famous fictional lawyer created by Earl Stanley Gardner was want to say: “You have assumed a fact not in evidence.”
You are completely correct, however, that those police officers DID murder this man. Dupnick and his deputies need to be put on trial for murder and aiding and abetting murder.
I’ve been saying the SWAT team, the officers in charge, and dispatch should be hauled in front of a military tribunal.
It won’t change the minds of any living Tusconians. They were not the subjects of SWA assassination Teams. If they had been they would no longer vote for Dupnik.
Any “pangs of conscience” were trained out of them. First those who desire and/or are deemed eligible for SWAT training are deficient in that capacity to start with and their training and the very existence of SWAT insures that they will feel like occupation troops in a hostile and deadly population. They are becoming the Praetorian Guard of local establishments and, like the PG of ancient Rome will eventually cut out the middlemen.
Why would they be sad? They got to accomplish what their intense training prepared them for and promised them. They eliminated one of the monsters on that Level. After successfully eliminating a few more they get to the next Level. It is a video game without the possibility of the player suffering his own atavar’s demise and failure on a Level.
The extent of the deception indicates the likelihood that it was planned that way from the beginning. The scripts are written before the raid to cover the possible/probable outcomes. The failure of the first script means that the backups are used and that the failure will be a lesson for script writers in the future and will probably be incorporated in their training..
Cops need time to get together and get their stories straight while they make up lies and dirt about the victim.
I drove by the house yesterday and was shocked at how much damage there was on the outside. (They show pics of the inside on the news) There is no need for that kind of force to serve a search warrant. It saddens me (and scares me) to live here where the police use so much force. What happened to innocent until proven guilty? This seems like a murder to me.
and handed a cig while blindfolded.
Honestly thought AZ was a red state. How can they keep electing fascists?
Without question... Yes.
Got myself plus a pair of VN era Gunnys right down the road.
Suppose we qualify as a slightly reduced squad?
That is why we must hold the Indiana Supreme Court in contempt. They are trashing the US Constitution which is the only protection left against the tyranny of American Democrat politicians and the fascists at the top of the Justice Department.
