Guerena. Mike Storie, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?p=23538\">the asshat who is doing a piss poor job of representing the SWAT officers involved in the raid<\/a>, is <a href=\"http:\/\/www.kgun9.com\/story\/14737307\/swat-attorney-said-video-speaks-for-itself\">claiming that<\/a>:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;Yeah, you watch the video and clearly you hear sirens, you see them (SWAT) approach, you see them knock and announce several times. Clearly, anyone in the area will know police were there,&#8221; explained SWAT lawyer Mike Storie.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Well, lets take a look at the video:<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"500\" height=\"333\" src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/rnYV4nrNdjA\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><br \/>\nFirst of all, you can clearly see that SWAT did not roll into the neighborhood with sirens blazing. They only run the sirens after they pull in front of the house and first for only a few seconds and the for about six to eight more seconds. They did not run the siren for more than ten seconds and by turning it on and off it gave it the sound of a car alarm, which as everybody knows, is a common sound in a neighborhood or apartment complex. So I doubt everybody knew the police were there.<\/p>\n<p>Also, they were playing music on their Bearcat&#8217;s radio as they pulled up. I have a problem with this for a couple of reasons and I know some of you are probably are going to disagree with me (and probably a few you even played music in guntrucks during raids) but hear me out. First of all, it is a distraction. You get into the song and lose focus on what you are supposed to be doing. Secondly, it can screw with your ability to hear your comms. I wore those earpieces that the SWAT team for about two years at my first duty station and they do not filter out background noise. Finally, those vehicles are extremely loud and usually (but not always) they aren&#8217;t soundproofed. Having music playing makes it even more difficult for the team to hear voice commands. To me, this is just another example of how unprofessional this team was.<\/p>\n<p>Once they arrive at the house they do clearly announce themselves but as far as I can see, a deputy only lightly bangs on the door. After that the breach team breaks open the door and then the entry team moves up to the door way. At this point, one of the deputies (looks like the one on the far left) has a\u00a0negligent\u00a0discharge and the rest of team opens up. As we all knew, they crowded the doorway (fatal front) but in what appears to contradict some earlier statements it looks like the guy with the shield fell down after a lull in the shooting, not as soon as the first officer had a\u00a0negligent\u00a0discharge.<\/p>\n<p>However, the most disturbing part of the video to me involves the breach team. After the shooting starts, one of the breachers appears to run up to the door, draw his pistol, brace himself against a member of the entry team, and fire his pistol one-handed into house. What kind of Rambo-shit was that? Also, it appears multiple members of the team were dry after they shot Guerena, which would have made them unable to deal with any other shooters in the house, especially in the fatal front.<\/p>\n<p>Overall, this does not make the SWAT look any better. Additionally, none of the documents released pertain to Guerena&#8217;s allegeded criminal connections and Mike Storie keeps pushing the &#8220;home invasion crew&#8221; story, which as I have pointed out before, contradicts earlier statements from PCSO.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Well ladies and gentlemen I just got back from a 50 hour bender in Las Vegas &hellip; <a title=\"Pima County SWAT Releases Helmet Cam Video, Mike Storie Continues To Beclown Himself\" class=\"hm-read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?p=23609\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Pima County SWAT Releases Helmet Cam Video, Mike Storie Continues To Beclown Himself<\/span>Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":607,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[168],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-23609","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-the-guerena-killing"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/23609","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/607"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=23609"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/23609\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=23609"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=23609"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=23609"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
