Documents: SWAT officer fired 'until his weapon ran dry'
KOLD news ^ | 5/26/2011 | Sonu Wasu

Posted on 05/27/2011 12:29:33 AM PDT by petitfour

The Pima County Sheriff's Department released video, audio, and more than 500 pages of incident reports and interview transcripts related to the May 5 shooting death of a former Marine.

The shooting took place while officers were serving a warrant in a drug conspiracy case at Jose Guerena's home, on Redwater Street.

The SWAT team arrived at the home just before 9:30 a.m., hoping that children would be out of the house and at school at that time.

The video of the whole incident times out at 1 minute and 17 seconds.

It starts with a team of SWAT officers driving up to the Guerena home.

It appears to be peaceful and quiet, but in transcripts officers stated they were on high alert, after being told the suspect they were about to encounter could be armed, and that they were heading to a home where the residents may be linked to home invasions, drug deals and possibly murder.

When they get to the scene they quickly take up their positions.

In an audio recording provided to KOLD News 13 by the Sheriff's Department, you can hear SWAT officers knocking on the front door and announcing who they are at least three times. They do this in both English and Spanish.

Unless, we vote in an EXTREME RIGHT WING president and congress we have no one to blame but ourselves. Look at what the last presidents have gotten away with...illegal wars, homeland terror and so forth.

Not so. At least historically, right wingers are just as authoritarian as commies, though sometimes on different issues. And credit does go to some specific conservatives for distinguishing between applying those powers to bad guys vs. doing so to everyone. But cons haven't draped themselves in glory on maintaining proper citizen-state balance either.

These cops will all be disciplined.

For not killing any dogs found on or near the premises.

Yet, they send that Pharmacist to jail for doing basically the same thing.

Now is as good as time as any to bring the subject of SWAT team tactics up with your mayors and town councilors. Grab a friend, make an appointment and go do it.

SWAT team lawyer Mike Storie claimed the entry team found a photo of Jesus Malverde, who Mr Storie called a ‘patron saint drug runner’.

Guilty! What else do you really need to know, right?

I myself use to have a copy of the Beatle’s White Album...but I discarded it -it’s just not worth getting killed over.

So, the “cop” literally HOSED HIM DOWN! These “police” are lower than war criminals!

You are right if you are referring to a stand Republican, but we want the kind of President who remembers what America stands for and has the original Constitution as their standard. The term “extreme right wing” would probably fall under that category as far as the media was concerned. At least that is my interpretation. Of course, the media loves to call the “Hitler regime” right wing so maybe I’m wrong. We definitely need leadership to bring us back to our Constitution.

And I do think authoritarianism is more closely associated with the left than the right over say the last couple decades or so. You’ll see Republicans mouthing libertarian truths, usually without a scrap of belief. Ruth Buzzy Ginsburg was the only vote in favor of the Constitution the other day, go figure. I tend to expect Scalia to have a mental break once in a while and go statist-authoritarian, but Thomas? That I never expect.

If there were five desperadoes shooting 71 rounds total, that works out to an average of ~14 each.

At :17 you hear (one of the cops?) say “bang bang bang”...as they’re walking up to the door. What’s that all about?

>> Why not detain him as he walks out of the mine

You gotta’ figure, if you’re gonna’ drill the guy with two dozen rounds, you’d want to do it in front of his wife and kids, right? /(that’s sarcasm, lurkers.)

Make the warrant public and the evidence to get the warrant.

Show the American people why a bunch of heavily armed SWAT stormed this American Marine’s house, where his wife and child also resided.

There is no explanation for preventing this marine from getting medical help for an hour. Prison sentences for that alone are called for. This police death squad terrorism must be stopped. Are there any politicians asking for answers or talking about an investigation?
