It is unclear exactly what officers were trying to communicate but they used a loudspeaker with the apparent intent to warn residents that a police dog was at the scene. Officers repeatedly shouted commands in English and poorly pronounced Spanish, saying: "Pedo policía pedo la madera." A translator’s report later determined this meant: "Fart police, fart the wood," according to court records.

Salvador Alonso Guerrero-Salmeron, a professional musician, was staying at a home in Aurora in March 2023 when a SWAT team made an early morning raid to arrest a tenant in another room. The musician was renting the room while promoting his band and performing shows, court records show, and he had no connection to the suspect, according to a civil lawsuit he later filed, The Denver Post reports.

Images from police body-cam footage show officers waking Guerrero-Salmeron, who does not speak English, before he holds up his ID and visa. In footage shown during his civil trial, officers point guns at him and speak Spanish. A police dog then bites the man’s elbow while he holds a document in his other hand.

AI Overview:

What Happened

• The Raid: On March 2, 2023, Aurora SWAT officers conducted an early morning raid at a home on South Yampa Court to arrest a tenant on drug charges. Guerrero-Salmeron, who was renting a different room in the house and had no connection to the suspect, was asleep inside.
• The Translation Mix-Up: Officers used a loudspeaker and shouted commands in English and poorly pronounced Spanish to warn residents about a police dog named Loki. A translator later noted that the officers repeatedly shouted, “Pedo policía pedo la madera,” which nonsensically translated to “Fart police, fart the wood.”
• The Attack: Guerrero-Salmeron did not understand the shouts and texted his landlord thinking intruders were breaking in. After arresting the target suspect, officers entered Guerrero-Salmeron’s room and commanded the police dog to bite him for about 15 seconds while he held up his tourist visa and ID.
• The Verdict: The jury found Officer Robert Wong liable for excessive force and Officer Grant Peet liable for malicious prosecution (including punitive damages), while clearing two other officers named in the suit. Prosecutors had previously dropped a municipal charge against Guerrero-Salmeron for failing to obey a police order.
