You say: “Somebody in Indianna needs to move for some kind of expedited appeal to the USSC. RIGHT NOW.”
Too late.
This scares the he*l out of me - What next? MartialLaw. This is about the same thing...
SCOTUS just ruled the same thing

Far be it from me to be an optimist, but these are NOT the same cases.
I’d only point out that in the Indiana decision the Judge writes “for not reason at all”, whereas in the Kentucky case there was a reason. Not a good reason, maybe, etc., but still a reason, a suspicion.
My understanding (which may be quite screwed up, but it is what it is) of the Indiana case is that the cops/gov’t could well have made the case that those cops also had a “reason to be suspicious”, but that was not the case made, or in any event it was not the decision rendered.
So, I’m still expecting that Indiana case to be appealed, but I suppose if the original defendant won’t appeal it there might be nobody with standing.
as to the man who was killed in Arizona (Arizona, right?) that I think is different too because I think the cops had a warrant. Also that is so screwed up and will be litigated for a damn long time, I imagine. There is good money to be had there and you probably won’t be able to beat the lawyers off with a stick, which in this case is all to the good.
But, in essence I do agree with you. I’m afraid we have some serious future cop-problems on the horizon.
Luckily many, many Americans own their own equipment for defense.
The important thing is that we all keep paying attention and try and get more and more people to start paying attention. We have to do the hard work of self-governance.
