BROWNSVILLE, Texas - Five police officers will face trial over their conduct in the lethal shooting of a mentally ill Brownsville man during a showdown that included 19 SWAT team members, a federal magistrate judge ruled.
After two people were stabbed one November 2008 evening in Brownsville, police apprehended one of the prime suspects but were still trying to locate the second, Jaime Sanchez.
An ultimately bad tip led them to the home of Ricardo Moreno, but Moreno's daughters say police dispatch should not have seriously considered the information, which came from an anonymous, drunken caller. [click here for full story on Courthouse News]

(They also sued for wrongful death, negligence and assault.)
Just a matter of time before those women will be "literally" swimming in money. Oh, I'd personally start paying for everything possible, on credit.

The police are always the "Bad Guys" when a situation goes out of control. People should be labeled " its not me"that way the police would know. This case parallels the Nathanial Sanders case in Austin. People @ the wrong place, mistaken identity.What lawyer is left in town to sue the city for millions of $'s in a civil suit?

They should change their name from SWAT to F Troop.
