First off, still no word back about a support fund for the family. OldSoldier54 has been helping me out on this along with several other people and we haven’t gotten a straight answer back from either the attorney or a woman who had claimed to setup a fund with Bank of America to help Guerena family. \u00a0I also haven’t gotten a response back from some of Guerena’s Marine buddies either. I think Vanessa Guerena is with family in Mexico and I don’t blame her. Tucson at its best isn’t much different than Mexico at its worst.<\/p>\n
Anyways, today a spokesman\/lawyer for a police union (AZCOPS) that represents Pima County Sheriff’s deputies<\/a> came out to defend the SWAT team that killed Cpl Guerena. He claimed he came forward because of the “reckless statements made by the attorney for these folks [the Guerenas].” He then preceded to make a reckless statement himself:<\/p>\n Storie said officers found what they were looking for, including weapons, body armor and a partial police uniform<\/strong>.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n However, this is what the Pima County Sheriff’s spokesman said earlier this week about what they found at the four houses they searched (but not Cpl Guerena’s):<\/p>\n O’Connor:\u00a0 “We did find things that we were asking for in that.\u00a0 It may have been drug ledgers, narcotics paraphernalia, any other connecting material between the residences.\u00a0 Those things were found, in addition to a large sum of money.\u00a0 Somewhat larger that what you would expect to find in anyone’s home.”<\/p>\n Waldman:\u00a0 “Can you say if that was the residence where the shooting happened?”<\/p>\n O’Connor:\u00a0 “No, it was one of the four, but it was not that residence.”<\/p>\n Waldman:\u00a0 “In that specific residence, did you find anything related to drugs, drug money, in that specific residence.”<\/p>\n O’Connor:\u00a0 “We found information that was pertinent to this drug conspiracy case, yes.\u00a0 I’m not going to go into details on what those things were.\u00a0 But it was connecting material to the drug conspiracy.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n There is no mention of other weapons (besides the AR-15 that Guerena had), body armor, or police uniforms being found in any of the houses that were searched in the rest of the transcript<\/a> for that particular interview.<\/p>\n
