Family of Marine Killed in Arizona SWAT Raid Sues Pima County for $20 Million
Forbes.com ^ | August 17, 2011 | E. D. Kain

Posted on 08/18/2011 8:25:56 AM PDT by Immerito

Jose Guerena was killed by a Pima County SWAT team back in May. His wife, Vanessa, and 4-year-old son were in the home at the time but were fortunately unharmed when police fired dozens of bullets into the home. Guerena himself did not fire on police, but police reported he was holding a rifle when they broke the door down. Follow-up investigations have shown that Guerena was related to people likely involved in criminal activity, but Guerena himself appears to have been on the sidelines.

Now Vanessa Guerena is filing suit against Pima County to the tune of $20 million dollars.

Radley Balko follows up with a good summary of the case, the political fall-out, and the interesting detail that nobody has yet been arrested in the Pima investigations, including Jose Guerena’s brother, Alejandro, who appears to have been a much more likely suspect than Jose.

And in a sense, the taxpayers are responsible for electing this SFB sheriff. Or whoever appointed him.

Elections have consequwences. Maybe next time, voters will think.

It is not just the shooting in this case, that was certainly bad enough, but the fact that they waited over an hour (till he died) before they let the paramedics in to treat him.

That is what it makes it murder.

Agreed. Shooting a private citizen after breaking into his home is bad enough.

Letting the same private citizen bleed to death is unconscionable.

Had any non-officer done that, that individual would have been locked up long ago.

Because he says the quote is “copsucking”. Idiot.

But anyway, I don’t expect much more from a Troll like you.

Conservatives have something on their About Me page that states conservative values.

Here is yours, Troll:

IMHO after the police discovered they’d made a horrible mistake they let the Marine die so he would not be alive to testify against them.

Medical members of the SWAT team did not render aid to Guerena, and a medical team from the Drexel Heights Fire District was told to hold off for more than an hour, documents show.,p.From http://azstarnet.com/news/local/crime/article_be284f91-ed84-5723-9bb6-682c1300ecbc.html

You Freaks are an excellent example of how Rush says that Liberals should always be encouraged to keep talking, so as to prove how stupid they are.

I get pinged to a Cop Hater thread and witness your stupidity.

No surprise there.

Keep going.
