Hear someone coming into your house, grab your rifle, get shot 71 times - CLOSED

Tucson SWAT team kills ex-Marine in his home front of wife and kids, then wait until he is dead before calling an ambulance. Police fire 71 shots during the raid, Marine fires 0. (azstarnet.com)l

Based on just what is in the story so far. Certainly looks very bad for the police.

That reminds me ... need to order that case of SS109

I'm sure the SWAT team was very clear in announcing themselves and we'll find out that this guy was really a big time drug dealer.



Nope. Couldn't keep a straight face.

Interesting how nothing is being released as to what the warrant was for. Smells of cover up to me.

Nice, very nice!!! I hope they all get theirs No knock, I doubt it!

Lot of info missing in this story to make a judgement either way.

Yes it does.

Well lets wait and see what comes out of the investigation before making assumptions I guess. But dam 71 times, someone still have some explaining to do.... I bet what occurred one guy saw the rifle and shot, then everyone else thought they were being shot at and fired all thereafter. Dam that sucks. Mistakes do happen, all they have to do is tell the truth. I just hope they had the right house for the SEARCH WARRANT, now if they had the wrong house their FUC***, and will paying out some dollars and lots of dollars.

I don't care if they have all their paperwork in order and they were at the right house and he has 1000lb of pot in his basement, there is just ZERO justification for SWAT teams conducting no-knock raids in the dark of night anywhere in the United States of America. Period.

SWAT teams should be relegated to hostage rescue and active shooter situations and that's it and NEVER should American police be conducting no-knock raids unless absolutely necessary to save lives.
