Missed this one from late November...Another example of Police state Amerika....

Jose
Guerena Ortiz was sleeping after an exhausting 12-hour night shift at a
copper mine. His wife, Vanessa, had begun breakfast. Their 4-year-old
son, Joel, asked to watch cartoons. An ordinary morning was unfolding in
the middle-class Tucson neighborhood — until an armored vehicle pulled
into the family's driveway and men wearing heavy body armor and helmets
climbed out, weapons ready. They were a sheriff's department SWAT team
who had come to execute a search warrant. But Vanessa Guerena insisted
she had no idea, when she heard a "boom" and saw a dark-suited man pass
by a window, that it was police outside her home.
She shook her husband
awake and told him someone was firing a gun outside. A U.S. Marine
veteran of the Iraq war, he was only trying to defend his family, she
said, when he grabbed his own gun — an AR-15 assault rifle. What
happened next was captured on video after a member of the SWAT team
activated a helmet-mounted camera. The officers — four of whom carried
...40-caliber handguns while another had an AR-15 — moved to the door,
briefly sounding a siren, then shouting "Police!" in English and
Spanish.
With a thrust of a battering ram, they broke the door
open. Eight seconds passed before they opened fire into the house. And
10 seconds later, Guerena lay dying in a hallway 20-feet from the front
door. The SWAT team fired 71 rounds, riddling his body 22 times, while his wife and child cowered in a closet.
