    Pima Co DA clears PCSD Entry Team



    [retired please move if deemed too hot a topic...I tried to post it in our LE sub forum...]

    Will be interesting to read the other thread when this info hits it...

    I received a email about this from the Police Magazine. I don't know th ewhole circumstances of this incident, but I saw a lot of hating toward the Pima County SWAT team for killing a Marine. Maybe one day, I will try to read the whole story about it.

        Oh really? Please elaborate...what part of the link do you call bs on?

        The Pima Co. DA indicated that when someone points a rifle at police officers, they need to immediately respond to that threat.

          We do not know everything the DA knows...it could be this marine was part of a Drug Cartel...and did indeed point a rifle at SWAT which reacted [appropriately according to the Pima Co. DA]...that is one possibility that no one in the other thread wants to entertain or acknowledge.

            It sucks, but I would put my money on 90% of the posters in the other thread made up their minds after reading the title, and before clicking on the thread.

                      The key element of the story linked in the OP is in the final paragraph... the attorney representing the decedent's family has gone MIA and isn't returning anyone's calls. Gee, I wonder why?

                      Subsequent to the shooting, PCSD released helmet cam video, transcripts and hundreds of pages of supporting documents, see story here. It begins to look more and more like a lawful use of lethal force. Even if the decedent was a good guy, there was a passage of minutes between knock / notice, entry, and shots fired, and he was arguably lying in wait, apparently, for the officers to enter. None of those seem to be the actions of someone roused out of a sound sleep by the door coming in and arming himself as he sprang out of bed not knowing who was there.

                      Combine that with evidence found at the scene which supported the reasons why they were there in the first place..... that the decedent was a person of interest in home invasions and it makes the official account all the more credible.

                      Let's remember also that Pima County is where Rep. Gabrielle Giffords was shot. Remember the massive knee jerk by Sheriff Clarence Dupnick at the time? Pima County is a bastion of politically correct thought and I have to believe that if the sheriff's SWAT guys had to do that, it wasn't because they were out head hunting.

                      But like others have said, I wasn't there. I can only make informed guesses based on what's out in the public view.

                        Really, my experience has been that if a DA has a chance to make a name for himself by taking down a cop, they go for it. This is based on working as an LEO and actually dealing with DA's in several counties for 30 years. What are you basing your comment on?

                            This is my experience as well. The DA's Office is not L/E's Pal, Buddy or
                            Friend. They do a job just as L/E does, that's all.

                            As far as the opinion by the Pima Co. DA clearing the S.O., it is what it is.

                              It should not be the DA's prerogative to bring a case. The case should be brought automatically so a jury can decide. The DA has the power to effectively acquit someone by not even bringing a case.

                              I'm open to the idea that I am completely mistaken. In fact, if I am mistaken, I'd love for you guys to educate me.
