And the professional police officers didn’t even try to get a warrant.
It’s possible that they just thought they could get away with becoming criminals.
It’s also possible that they knew a judge would NOT grant them a warrant.
I hold professional armed agents of the State to a very high standard. If they can’t meet high standards, they need to find another line of work.
Its because in gynosociety women can get a man arrested on pure hearsay. No one cares about the mans side or the other half of the story. And women, master manipulators and criers, lie a great deal so false charges and accusations occur all the time. If not for many guys recording and videoing false incidents as they occurred, they would have been jailed.
I generally agree. But, there is more to this story, I’m sure. Domestic violence calls are close to the top of the list of “cop killers.” I’d be especially weary in this situation. I wonder if the woman at the door is the same one who had called the cops a little bit earlier? If so, the cops probably expected her to let them in.
When she doesn’t, and the guy is standing behind her only partially seen, the cops aren’t sure whether she has the freedom to talk openly. He might have a weapon or a realistic threat against her to be exercised when they leave.
Nonetheless, if I were the DA, I would have dismissed the charge before hearing. “Reaching across the threshold” is a bright line.
