How many times has YOUR house been raided by the police? You make yourself sound like you have had some experience in this.

my one Admin Justice class last semester was taught by a cop that worked in downtown Pittsburgh and explained a situation similar to this one (at least the bullet count)...  what happens is every police personal fires because if you take the time to think or communicate to a certain number of individuals to fire a cop could lose their life, so divide 71 by every cop that could see him, and im assuming they had automatic weapons, say 5 cops see him, each holds the trigger on their automatic weapon in for 3 seconds, thats prob more than 71 bullets...

They failed to announce "police" or "search warrent" as they entered.

The swat team took action on a gun being pointed in their way. What do they expect.

What gets me is that he wasn't given medical attention and could've probably been saved.

I'd put more guilt on the police's side this time, but the reaction to having a gun pointed at you is generally to protect yourself, especially in a poorly lit home at night.

I'd probably guess not. Possible to save him, yes. Any effort would have been better than we they actually did...but being shot once is already a problem, 60 times just makes it that much harder to save.

No, the DID announce that they were police and conducting a search warrant, and they arrived with lights and sirens.

And he was shot 60 times. No, he could not have been saved.

And the raid took place at 9AM, not at night.
