Attorney: SWAT raid found guns, body armor

Go read this article from the Arizona Daily Star. It is about a SWAT raid. During this SWAT raid, five police officers fired SEVENTY ROUNDS hitting the victim SIXTY TIMES. There are a lot of strange things going on with this raid.

Read this little piece...

The SWAT officers fired 71 shots, striking Guerena 60 times. 

The search warrant was not directed at any particular person, and Guerena's name was not mentioned, but it was targeting whoever might be inside the residence, Storie said.

If SWAT members had been let into the home, those inside "probably ... wouldn't have been arrested," Storie said.

Now read the FOURTH AMENDMENT. I posted it a few days ago, but it is worth seeing again...

The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.

No matter what the victim was accused of, his 4th Amendment right was clearly violated by the vague nature of the search warrant. There is also some question about how the police approached the house. They claim the pulled up with lights and sirens blazing. The victims wife says she heard or saw no such thing. The police claim they didn't attempt to render aid because the victim fell into a side room when he was shot. A photo of the scene tells a little different story.

The police will wind up winning this, because, well, the dead guy can't really tell his side of the story. I'm a big supporter of law enforcement by the rules. When cops decide to take matters into their own hands, that's not good for any of us.

Did I mention that the victim was a Veteran who did two tours of duty in Iraq?
