Lawmakers Consider Right To Resist Police -
Indiana homeowners would have limited rights to resist police officers trying to enter their homes in a handful of instances under a bill that state legislators are considering.
A state Senate committee is scheduled to hold a public hearing Tuesday on a bill that follows a public uproar over a state Supreme Court ruling in May that said homeowners cannot violently resist police officers even during an illegal entry.
The bill’s sponsors said it is narrowly crafted to set out the rights of homeowners.
The bill would allow homeowners to use force if the police officer is unidentified or not acting on official duty.
Officers would be allowed to enter a home when chasing a criminal suspect or when they believe someone inside is in danger.

The media has reworded this gem to sound rediculous. Woo hoo!
Try this. See if it is as dramatic.
“Police home entry conditions are better defined: Homeowner may not be responsible for resisting”
The bill exonerates a homeowner that resists police entry into their house if certain “defined” conditions are not met. As in, a law abiding citizen, defends their home against illegal entry by criminals or anyone else.
It ain’t as dramatic as it sounds.
If we may NOT defend against an illegal entry by LEO, then ANYONE wearing black who batters your door down will get the same benefit.
Naturally gangs would never take advantage of that.
This will get effed up beyond belief....u watch...
