    Having been shot 22 times I doubt the officers saw much point in providing First Aid. Likely all they had to do was just check to see if there was still a pulse.

    Besides, who the heck answers the door armed with an assault rifle?

      I’m guessing when the Marine heard his front door being knocked down, he assumed the defensive posture (per his training, no doubt) to protect his home, thus arming himself with the rifle. Given the nature of the task at hand, it’s another presumption that the officers fired first on seeing the weapon before realizing they were probably at the wrong house…I say “presumption” because I wasn’t there, and am using deductive reasoning and common sense in reading what IJ has reported.

      Apparently, you didn’t read the initial reports about this! His wife saw people lurking outside around their home. His wife told him when she woke him up! And he did not answer the door. He was in the hall when the door was kicked in.

    When did it become illegal to own an assault rifle? Check out the video and judge for yourself if you think it was excessive force http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XP0f00_JMak&feature=player_embedded. By the way, no arrests have been made to any suspects involved in the raids. It all boils down to the senseless killing of a marine.
