The suspect (now deceased) didn't fire a single round and reports are that the safety was engaged on his weapon. The police version of the story is that he came around a corner holding the weapon and then pointed it at the cops while saying "I've got something for you".....actually, that's the current version of the story. That version was preceded by "he shot at us and our shields were riddled with bullets" and then "he was crouched at the end of the hallway pointing a gun at us". This has only been going on for 2 weeks so please stay tuned for new versions as they arrive.
Exactly! He walks out of the mine unarmed and dead tired after a 12 hour shift and they simply walk up and put cuffs on him. If there were any thought that he might be dangerous that should have been a no-brainer.
If there is no damage to that weapon, it was taken from where ever he kept it and planted near his body.
Obammy and his leftist “hate” consultants for Homeland Security named returning Vets from the Iraq and Afghanistan wars as domestic terrorists.
Maybe it is that “hate group” - the US Marines - that the victim belonged to which made the police jacked up to kill him.
Whoa tiger take it easy:
I have been brutal in my attempt to destroy LE and take down their un-touchable and unquestioned status. The full context of my comments are to say that if the cops thought this guy was such a bad ass why didn’t they just get him coming out of the mine.
It’s like Koresh. They could have taken him at Wal-Mart. But they wanted to suit up and play soldier.
Very sorry you misunderstood me. The fault lies with my writing, not with your reading.
>Very sorry you misunderstood me
No misunderstanding, I think: it was VERY sarcastic* and VERY cynical**.
It was a comment on the mentality that is prevalent... sadly in our own “justice system.” (Else why in the HELL could “qualified immunity” exist?)
* Sarcasm: harsh or bitter derision or irony; usually cutting.
** Cynic: a person who believes the worst about people or the outcome of events.
Yes, I’m a Tucsonan and I’m following this story. My question is rhetorical. Querena surely had no intention to shoot it out with the police. Another freeper suggested only a Grand Jury will compel Dupnik to tell the truth about the shooting and the cover-up. The picture of a so called drug dealer/saint seems so improbable... This shooting and the high handedness of Dupnik’s leadership makes SWAT look so bad.
