AZ - Jose Guerena Shot 60 Times By SWAT Team

Cops enter locked down school with guns at the ready, scaring everybody to death. No worries though, it was just a drill. Live drill, with unsuspecting teachers and children being unwilling participants.

http://reason.com/blog/2014/11/17/kids-terrified-as-cops-enter-school-with

...it was about 9 a.m. Thursday when the principal announced the school was going on lockdown.

Students huddled into classrooms waiting for further instructions. Instead, they started hearing voices in the hallway.


"A lot of people started getting scared because we thought it was a real drill," Lauren said. "We actually thought that someone was going to come in there and kill us."


Two police officers burst into Lauren's classroom with their guns drawn -- one carrying, what Winter Haven police said, was an AR-15 rifle.


Just doing their job... they said.

Jose, one day we will look at SWAT raids like this like the historic aberration they are.

Until then, RIP, Jose - you will never be forgotten.

Jose,

The City of Cleveland settled for 3 million for two lives taken by police officers who mistook a backfire for a gunshot and got itchy trigger fingers.

http://reason.com/blog/2014/11/18/cleveland-settles-for-3-million-in-fatal

http://www.cleveland.com/court-justice/index.ssf/2014/11/cleveland_police_settlement_ch.html

One of the policemen was indicted... and 100 officers showed up in court to support him.

[QUOTE]Brelo fired 49 shots at a 1979 Chevrolet Malibu. He fired his Glock handgun more than any of the 13 officers who unloaded 137 shots at the car, after a 23-minute chase that began at the Justice Center in Cleveland and ended in an East Cleveland middle school.

Timothy Russell, 43, and Malissa Williams, 30, were killed Nov. 29, 2012. They did not have a weapon on them at the time of the shooting.[/QUOTE]

Just like they claimed you fired first and then found that your AR had its safety on and was unfired, they claimed the suspects fired at them... except that after killing them, they discovered no weapons, no trace of gunpowder... oh well.

Jose, one day, every murdered will be prosecuted and convicted, whether they wear a uniform or not. Until then, Rest In Peace - you will never be forgotten.

Remember the toddler burned by a police smoke bomb during a SWAT raid?

http://reason.com/blog/2014/11/20/cops-throw-smoke-grenade-into-room-with

Apparently, the
police threw a smoke bomb into a room with a 2-year-old in it despite the mother and the child's older siblings warning police there was a 2-year-old was in the room.

That would be on top of the minor detail that they had broken into the wrong house (the suspect they were trying to arrest had moved out 4 months before the raid).

http://www.courthousenews.com/2014/11/19/cops-bombed-the-wrong-guys-family-says.htm

Until we rein in the SWAT-happy police departments and the judges that give out anti-constitutional no-knock warrants like candy, innocents will continue to be harmed.

Rest In Peace, Jose - you and the other victims will never be forgotten.
 
This one is not an official kill by SWAT... but it is similar enough:

Akai Gurley is killed because a nervous officer with a drawn gun "accidentally" pulled the trigger.

http://nypost.com/2014/11/21/police-fatally-shoot-man-in-brooklyn-building/

For the police - an accidental shooting... for a regular person... murder.

Until rules are the same for all, more innocents will die.

Murder is murder, whether the murderer is wearing an uniform or not.

A few more details on the execution above:

http://reason.com/blog/2014/12/05/nypd-cop-shoots-unarmed-man-texts-union

The New York Daily News reports that in the crucial minutes following the shooting, Liang and his partner did not try to get medical attention for the grievously wounded man and could not be reached by either their commanding officer or the 911 dispatcher who fielded a call from a neighbor reporting gunshots.

Yeah, live witnesses are a pain.

Rookie NYPD cop Peter Liang texted his union representative and was "incommunicado for more than six and a half minutes" as Akai Gurley, the unarmed man he shot in the stairwell of a Brooklyn housing project, lay dying.

Cause you first have to look out for #1 - yourself. And if someone happens to die because you could not be bothered to call for the doctor, that will teach them to take the stairs and startle a clueless uniformed thug.

Even if the shooting was an "accident", the conduct after the shooting is criminal.

Until uniformed criminals are treated equally under out legal system, there will be no peace for tje innocents.

Rest In Peace, Jose. We remember.
 
After John Crawford was gunned down by police in an Ohio Walmart last August for the crime of being black while looking at an Airsoft rifle, the police interrogated his girlfriend (who was NOT there during the incident) trying to get her to confess that Crawford brought a real gun into Walmart.

http://reason.com/blog/2014/12/18/your-eyes-are-kind-of-messed-up-looking

The lengths that uniformed criminals will go to find cover for their crimes... amazing.

RIP, Jose - we will work to change the laws so all murders are punished, whether the murderer is a government employee or not.
 
Sometimes, there is a ray of hope.

http://news.yahoo.com/chicago-area-police-officer-stand-trial-bean-bag-144015457.html

(thanks to mikes45 for posting the link on NES)

One of the officers fired a stun gun at Wrana but missed. Then when Wrana, still holding the knife, moved toward him, Taylor fired the beanbag gun at him, then paused before firing four more times, according to prosecutors.

All of the shots were fired from no more than 8 feet away, according to prosecutors, who have said the "optimum distance" of 15 to 60 feet is spelled out in training standards.


Prosecutors said Taylor had other options when he was confronted by an elderly man alone in his room, including leaving and talking to him through the open door. They also said Taylor failed to consider what firing the gun at close range might do to the body of a 95-year old man.

One day, all murders will be prosecuted equally, no matter whether the killer works for the state or not. Until then, Rest in Peace, Jose - you will never be forgotten.
 
Apparently, a request for a welfare check can lead police to break into a house in the middle of the night and kill the homeowner, a 74 year old Army veteran who was recovering from heart surgery the week before.

http://www.charlotteobserver.com/2015/02/08/5502557/officer-involved-shooting-that.html

Jose, you got killed by a trigger happy SWAT team. James Howard Allen was killed by a trigger happy cop who had broken into his house to "help".

Time to stop breaking into people's houses so nobody else has to die like this.

RIP, Jose.

You and the many other innocents murdered by government agents will never be forgotten.

Dustin Teoharis survived after being shot 16 times in his bed by police searching for a different person. Despite the fact that he was unarmed, the shooting was ruled to be justified.

http://www.king5.com/story/local/2015/02/23/13274484/

The police showed zero interest in investigating the shooters

http://reason.com/blog/2013/07/11/cops-shoot-man-in-bed-shooting-ruled-jus

and prosecutors decided that there is not enough evidence to charge the shooters (never mind that the evidence is missing because the police did not want to investigate its own)

http://reason.com/blog/2015/02/22/prosecutors-not-enough-evidence-cops-who

Until the law applies to us all, there will be no justice in the world.

Rest in Peace, Jose - you will never be forgotten.

"The test for whether one is living in a police state is
that those who are charged with enforcing the law
are allowed to break the laws with impunity." ~Jon Roland
 
In a case brought by a murder by SWAT, the 4th Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that summary execution is within the appropriate range of punishments for possessing a small amount of marijuana and that "no reasonable jury could have found that the Officers' knock-and-anounce violation proximately caused Cornish's death."

http://reason.com/archives/2015/04/01/courts-let-cops-get-away-with-murder

I can think of plenty of reasonable juries that would disagree with the court... but until we get judges that convict murderers in uniform instead of finding pathetic excuses for them, more innocents will die.

Rest In Peace, Jose - like Andrew Cornish, you will never be forgotten... and one day, the wheel will turn and we will again be equal under the law.

Which is exactly why the framers gave us the second amendment.

The first civil war was the colonists against the homeboys.
The second civil war was the North against the South.
Waitin' on the third civil war......

Not until the cops and lawyers and judges who are involved in these sort of things and allowing them receive the same treatment as people like Andrew Cornish and Jose Guerena will things start to change.

This article breaks it down even further.

http://www.washingtonpost.com/news/...odies-everything-thats-wrong-with-drug-raids/

About as good of an example of complete tyranny with regards to the 4A as you can get. Police cannot be held liable for PROVEN Constituional violations thanks to courts that REFUSE to uphold any laws. Corrupt. Disgusting. Abhorrent.
 
Eric Garner's family gets a 5.9 million settlement fron NYC - no admission of guilt, no prosecution for the police officers.

http://www.nydailynews.com/new-york...eath-police-brutality-cases-article-1.2290006

Until the people responsible for the killing of harmless citizens are prosecuted (whether they are the officers, their bosses or the legislators), innocents will keep dying.

Rest in peace, Jose - you will never be forgotten.
 
Another settlement - this one for 4.7 million from Gardena, CA after the police fatally shot an unarmed man they (incorrectly) suspected of stealing a bicycle.

The video of the shooting was released here:

http://www.latimes.com/local/lanow/...-release-of-videos-20150714-story.html#page=1

The district attorney’s office declined to file charges against the officers. Deputy Dist. Atty. Rosa Alarcon wrote in a memo about the shooting that Diaz Zeferino’s right hand was no longer visible from the officers’ angle and that it was reasonable for them to believe he was going to reach for a weapon.


“They made a split-second decision and they were not required to hold fire in order to ascertain whether Diaz [Zeferino] would, in fact, injure or kill them,” she wrote.




An attorney for Diaz Zeferino's family, R. Samuel Paz, said the video clearly makes clear the man was not a threat to officers.

As long as police officers can kill with impunity and use taxpayer money to pay the families of the victims off, innocents will continue to lose their lives.

Rest In Peace, Jose.

Holy shit
 
This is why the government enforcers keep killing innocents: when an investigator with Chicago's Independent Police Review Authority refused to continue exonerating every police officer, he was fired.

http://reason.com/blog/2015/07/20/you-can-absolutely-guess-what-will-get-y

No accountability means no change... and innocents like Jose will keep getting killed by officers who know the system has their back.
