Tucson SWAT murders innocent Iraqi vet

[shitstorm]

"Part of what was going on is that this house, the interior of this house is, the walls are somewhat darker color. The roof is painted a very dark color. So when the officers came in, they saw they were confronted with a very dark room. This individual was in a hallway looking right at them, crouched with a weapon. When they saw this and the weapon coming up and he made that statement, some of the officers began to fire that are in this cone -- right at the front door -- began to fire. Some of the officers hit the door frame and there was splintering at the door frame as they were firing. This was falling on some of the other officers. One of the officers has a shield, and when he fired, he starts to fall backwards. Some of the officers thought that officer had been shot, and were starting to drag him out of the fray. So this was a very dynamic scene, a very dangerous situation for the officers that were there, and obviously dangerous for the victim, this individual who was shot, who brought this all on himself by presenting himself the way he did. There is no way around it. We have to serve search warrants. It's a part of our job. We do the best we can of making it apparent that this is what we are doing. But sometimes people have reasons for doing what they do. I can't explain it."

Oh, yeah, the murder victim brought this all on himself. And, sometimes people attempt to defend themselves but Pima County "can't explain" that. What a bizarre thing for a sleeping person awakened by armed prowlers to pick up a gun and think of defending his family. I think that's pretty fucking COMMON in Arizona where everyone has guns. Do they have the castle doctrine?

That interview is a pack of lies and bullshit. The entire lot of them should be in jail on murder charges.
