That seems to be most plausible to me, as well. To me, Maye was clearly protecting his child and his person against an unknown assailant. It is too bad that this country has deteriorated to the extent that police are allowed to use such dangerous and obviously unconstitutional tactics to apprehend suspects, in the name of efficiency.

Think the founding fathers of this country did not appreciate the obstacles they were attempting to establish against the tyranny that so many here are willing to accept?

Each citizen is equal to a cop, a judge, a senator, the president, etc., cops do not have any right to break into a person's home, suspect or not, unless having presented a legal warrent to the suspect, he resists. Suspects are innocent until found guilty in a court of law in accordance with legal process.

How many cops get capital murder charges when they mistakenly kill someone they misapprehend as a threat? 0.

At this point- I am interested in hearing what the other side has to say. Can't say for sure, but the blogger has indicated that he is going to be acquiring the trial transcripts. I am wondering what is in them.
