Dupnik's Affirmative Action Keystone Kops

Look I know Jammie already wrote about this, the execution of the Marine veteran by the Sheriff Dupnik Keystone Kops goon squad and now after seeing the video I am so furious I can't see straight. I will try to keep the language clean but I am that pissed after seeing the video.

The first thing that got my attention was that this hit squad suffer from a serious case of affirmative action feel good. Notice the female voices, not saying females can't be on what ever sort of team this was. It certainly wasn't a SWAT team, at least none that I have known. Second notice that the last two people in that queue have their weapons slung across their back. This indicates that they did not expect any resistance or that they were incredibly stupid.

This team also had no intentions of doing a simple arrest which is obvious by the actions of the members at the front who after knocking, if they announced who they were, it was only audible to those standing next to them knocked down the door and when their own officer's gun went off started shooting. Notice the nonchalant attitude of the guy who broke down the door. If you expect a bad guy on the other side you don't knock down a door and then turn your back and saunter away. These people were clueless and it honestly looks like they thought nobody was home.

This is a group of untrained amateurs, pretending to be police officers getting spooked by their own shadow and murdering an innocent person in their panic. I hope they never have another good night's sleep.

Congress can rake our service members over the coals calling them everything but a child of God for actions in Iraq and Afghanistan like Mssrs Kerry and the late Jack Murtha have done very publicly but this case carried out on American soil yields only yawns.

Those officers at the very least need to be fired for dereliction of duty and I would expect more serious charges related to manslaughter to be pressed. My opinion of this incident has only gotten worse since I first heard about this case and wrote about it.
I jsut can not get over the actions of this team that is on display in that video. Clueless, incompetent, untrained, undisciplined don't begin to describe it. Their incompetence is what led to the death of that Marine.

Arizona Hit Squads Targeting Hispanics

To borrow from the Godfather of Linkage, Instapundit, they told me if Arizona passed their immigration law there would be roaming government hit squads.

In this case, the hit squads belong to that leftist tool Sheriff Dupnik of the very liberal Pima County. The area of Arizona which recently vowed to secede from the union, and the sheriff who assured anyone in the media who stuck a microphone in his face that the person responsible for the shooting that included the killing of a 9-year-old girl and critically wounding Congresswoman Giffords was the work of right-wingers whipped up into a froth over politics. He conveniently forgot to mention how the accused in this case has a long history of making threats.

Well, Dupnik dispatched his highly-trained SWAT team to the home Iraqi war veteran, a former Marine, Jose Guerena. The reports have been all over the place as to what actually happened but a few facts have emerged that appear to be indisputable. His Keystone cops fired at least 70 rounds indiscriminately into the residence after one of the officers had an accidental discharge of a weapon while breaking down the door to enter the residence. Information on whether they even had the right address is also in dispute. In addition, after spraying the residence with no regard for innocent life they refused the wounded medical care and had an ambulance sit outside for at least an hour. In other words, they needed to make sure that Guerena was dead so that he couldn't give his account of events.

Imagine the liberal outrage if the same sequence of events had occurred in Iraq during one of Guerena's two tours. If his squad had kicked in the door of an Iraqi citizen, sprayed the house indiscriminately and then refused to offer to medical assistance. I think we know what would happen, and the departed former congressman John Murtha would be leading the charge like he has in the past.

In other words, everything about this incident is in question except for the fact that Cpl Guerena is now dead and that lying dirtbag of a sheriff can't get his story straight.

I have been following the story for about a week and was waiting for the fog of war, such as it is, to clear and for the facts to become clear; unfortunately because of this idiot sheriff there are no facts because their story keeps changing. As always, the guys over at This Ain't Hell and Blackfive are on the case and I strongly encourage everybody to read their writeups on this incident.

I also strongly encourage people to start pressuring the Mass Market Media to cover the story. They are ignoring it because it happened in their liberal utopian oasis of the southwest to one of their icons of progressive law and order.

UPDATE: All records and evidence related to this case have now been sealed while Sheriff Barney Fife and his trigger happy, undisciplined Keystone Kops go into CYA mode.

If You're Going to Take Provocative Photos, Could You At Least Use a Decent Camera?

Heartbreak in Tempe. No more cheerleaders at Arizona State games. Not that they have much to cheer there anyway.

Arizona State University may have less cheerful sidelines at sporting events next season.

After racy photos of members of the university’s cheerleading squad were spotted on a campus blog called “The Dirty,” the school cut the squad completely, MyFOXPhoenix reported.

The school's athletic director, Lisa Love, made the decision Thursday evening.The pictures on the blog feature 6 of the cheerleaders posing in nothing but their bras and panties.

Although only six members of the squad are shown in the photographs, the entire 16-member squad will suffer the consequences, MyFOXPhoenix reported.

The cheerleaders told MyFOXPhoenix that the photographs were a result of college kids goofing off, and they believe the decision to disband the team has been in the works for a while. The photographs are two years old, and were taken at a “cheer party.”
