Hmm ok see there are always 2 sides to a story.. He knew they were out there.. If all is true he was not gunned down by rogue cops. He was killed for being a tard.
P.S. This was posted, but not the video.

Initially the Sheriff’s office told reporters that Guerena had threatened officers with a gun, but their story has since changed. Apparently one of the SWAT team’s deputies accidentally fired his gun, leading to confusion. Other deputies began firing on the home, where wife Vanessa and their four-year-old son hid in a closet. Jose Guerena was shot 60 times. Officers fired a total of 71 rounds into the home. Jose died while medics waited outside, prevented by the deputies from entering the home for over an hour after the shooting. They were not permitted to enter the home until they had already learned that Jose was dead. Jose Guerena was 26. He is survived by his wife Vanessa and their two sons. No drugs were found in their home, and the family had no criminal record. Indeed, the only record Guerena had was his military record. He survived two tours in Iraq, but could not survive our War on Drugs.

I must be mistaking but I thought this was the vet who had an ar-15 and said the cops never knocked or anything.

I'm in no way defending the police here, but if you turn up the volume you can here them shouting 'Police, come out with your hands up.' at least twice.
Now, considering how fast it all happened, i can't say that really is enough warning in this type of a situation.
The other interesting thing that can be heard is someone over the communications system says 'Bang, Bang, Bang'. Its hard to put a positive spin on that kind of comment before a raid.

Pigs weren't loud at all. There was no reason to beleive that this man would harm anyone if SWAT would have anounced themselves loud and clear. He has no history of being a violent offender, as he has no criminal record. Any marine in the right mind would go straight for their gun. Gangster with badges acting out of adrenaline. You can see the guy run up last couple seconds to get his shots in, its sad. I hope the same thing happens to those guys.
