on the murder* of Jose Guerena? Go here. Breakables alert in effect.
Couple of things in particular that bother me. As in Piss me off Mightily. One is that Guerena was hit 22 times out of more than 70 shots fired; I wonder if these clowns had any freakin' idea where all those bullets were going?
Second, (9) The shooting begins with 4-5 evenly spaced shots, apparently on semi-automatic. Those shots are quickly joined by a wild melee of fire which lasts about eight seconds, followed by a two second silence and one final shot. According to media accounts, the SWAT team “leader” said that the officers involved exhausted their ammunition. That’s not at all hard to believe, and it is possible that more than 71 rounds were fired.
Am I the only one who's bothered by that sequence? Especially that final shot?
Every officer on that team ought to be held personally liable for their actions. And Dupnik, as well, since he authorized this travesty.
