Tucson SWAT Team Kills Armed Homeowner in Drug Raid May 13, 2011 - Drug War Chronicle
In a mid-morning drug raid May 5, a Pima County SWAT team executing a search warrant shot and killed a 26-year-old Afghan and Iraq war veteran after he confronted the intruders with a weapon in his hand. Jose Guerena become the 27th person to die in US domestic drug law enforcement operations so far this year.
According to the initial police account, when SWAT officers broke down the door of Guerena's home, which he shared with his wife and young child, he confronted them and opened fire. "The adult male had a long rifle, opened fire on the SWAT team. The SWAT team returned fire and the male is pronounced deceased. The woman and the child are unharmed," said Pima County Sheriff's Deputy Jason Ogan.
Six days later, police admitted that while Guerena, a former Marine, was holding an AR-15 assault rifle, the safety was on and he had not fired it. They also admitted that SWAT officers fired 71 rounds at Guerena in seven seconds. It was also later reported that even though Guerena's wife called 911 as soon as he was shot and that EMTs arrived two minutes later, deputies never allowed them to treat Guerena, citing security concerns. (Recall that in the Jared Loughner mass killing in Tucson earlier this year, EMTs were allowed to treat the wounded in a matter of minutes despite the chaos of that scene.)
In an interview with KGUN9-TV, Guerena's wife, Vanessa, explained that her husband had worked the night shift at his job at a mine and been asleep only a couple of hours when the raiders arrived. When she saw armed men in her house pointing guns at her, she said, "Please don't shoot, I have a baby…and I yell 'Jose! Jose! Wake up!'"
The SWAT team didn't identify itself before breaking in her door and entering her home, Guerena said. "You're saying only (they) yelled SWAT after the shootout?" KGUN9asked. "Oh, yes! Yes," said Guerena.
Her husband grabbed a gun to protect himself from what he thought were home invaders, she said.
Police said Guerena's home was one of four targeted in simultaneous raids and that a large amount of cash was found in one of them. It wasn't Guerena's. All they have said about what they found there was that it was "evidence pertinent to the case."
But at a Wednesday memorial service for the veteran of deployments in Iraq and Afghanistan, an attorney retained by his family, Christopher Scileppi, told FOX11-TV that Guerena was not part of any drug conspiracy. "What I do know that they collected phones, computers the family has conveyed to me that they're confident that there is nothing that will be of inculpatory incriminating information," said Scileppi.
No law suit has yet been filed, but Scileppi is laying the groundwork. "We'll be sending our investigators out to find out what the neighbors saw, what mutual observers saw because this was obviously a big deal certainly to the Pima County sheriff's office," he said.

Goddamnit. End the motherfucking war on drugs already. You're costing our citizens' and our law enforcements' time, money, and most importantly, lives. I hope they didn't find a damn thing, and the swat team gets the unholy balls sued out of them.

It actually came out better considering he never opened fire and the safety was on.

Yeah I suppose thats true. Hopefully they all get stripped of their job or even sentenced.
To not announce yourself, bust in to someones house when they're sleeping, than light them up because he was ready to defend his family and home. They knew he was a veteran and should have beeen able to calculate how it would go down.
Dumb fucks.

More like administrative leave during the investigation, and they'll return to the force within a month or two.

I'll be the first to say it:
Wonder where all that "support the troops" bullshit is now?
Lying ass hypocrite Americans don't give a fuck about anything but their own assholes.
See what I said Alan and Doc_T? Better pick your side because the cops will bust down your doors on some bullshit and put 72 of them shits in your body.
And you'll be made to look like the monster.
Keep living that bullshit story you folks call a life. Thinking you can play both sides and come out on top.
You'll fucking get swallowed.
Can't be much more of a government slave than a veteran of Iraq and Afghanistan and what good did that get him? Not so much as a warning before they lit his government-supporting ass up.
Again: 72 times.
That's the kind of love they have for you. Check that, that's the kind of love they have for an in the trenches, getting shot at (my assumption), Iraq and Afghanistan WAR VETERAN.
They don't give a *FUCK* about you if you aren't blue.

Why aren't any major networks covering this? Oh wait, I know. It'll be interesting to see if this gets mentioned in the coming days.

I wish he would of taken some of them with him. Not that it would change anything. I have no respect for the people who choose Law Enforcement as a career. People who wake up and deicide to take away other peoples freedom get no pity from me. Sure there are SOME who are decent. I'm just so sick of the 'just doing my job' and 'i dont make the laws' bullshit. Get another fucking job, no one is forcing you to do this.

Sue the county... And each and every member of the swat team, their commanders, the planners of the raid and whoever provided the incorrect info to the police. I agree with END THE FUCKING WAR ON DRUGS! They aren't killing drugs. Just innocent people.

Stories like these are the ones that need to be spread around, so people know what pieces of shit cops are and what this pathetic war on drugs is doing to our own people, what it did to a war veteran no less!

No doubt he woke up in battle mode ready to go after being in both Iraq and Afghanistan. Shame he didn't pick off a few officers as well.
