government agency cleared the other govt agency
Ahh... I think "yep".they were cleared of wrongdoing by the office that obtained the bogus warrant
So what exactly was justifiable about busting down a door and shooting a man in his own hallway holding a self defense weapon (on SAFE)?
I am not completely up to speed on the warrant issues.
BUT...you point a firearm at a cop, and they will shoot back. (You point one at me and I will shoot back also, as I'm sure you would as well) There is no way to tell if it is "on SAFE" in the heat of the moment. This nonsense about the weapon being on safe has to stop.
Was that supposed to be purple...I hope so because it was a very silly(to be nice) thing to say.Well...if you keep a gun handy for personal protection near where you sleep, you better hope like hell that you never have a home invasion and grab your gun (Safe Or Not) to confront any intruders. You better just assume it's ALWAYS the cops, and go check things out UNarmed. You know...just to be on the safe side.
Maybe Mr. Guerena was thinking the same thing.A gun pointed at anyone is a threat...expect to be treated with deadly force in return.
Purple? PURPLE??!! I don't need no steenkeen purple!!Was that supposed to be purple
Serving the warrant was done in a way that maximized violence rather than avoiding it. They could've knocked on the door and waited. They could've stopped him in the street, or while he was walking home from his car. They could have done this in any number of ways besides playing soldier. The way I see it, the police created the situation therefore the police are responsible for murder.
Actually, somewhere I read a report from the lead man in the SWAT team, stating Guerena was holding his AR muzzle toward the floor when they broke in. They looked at each other, Guerena started to raise the rifle, the officer opened fire.
Of course this comes from the same agency that claimed the police shields were riddled with bullets, and a lot of other crap, so take it with a grain of salt the size of something really large.
Whatever. I don't care whether he was pointing a weapon at them. Reports show clearly he didn't know he was facing police, who failed to identify themselves properly, did not give him time to wake and reach the door before initiating violence. The warrant was unjustified and all 'evidence' perfectly legal. Serving the warrant was done in a way that maximized violence rather than avoiding it. They could've knocked on the door and waited.

That said.. I'm not at all surprised to read this news..
I am not completely up to speed on the warrant issues. I see many things wrong with this encounter and everything leading up to the point where bullets started flying, including the way they entered, # of shots fired and the # of times this guy was hit.
