Imagine you are sitting at home on a peaceful Sunday when you hear buses pull up in front of your house and begin disgorging hundreds of angry people waving signs with threatening messages, shaking their fists and crowding onto your lawn. Soon, hundreds of screaming people are tromping on your flower beds, peering into your windows and scaring neighbors, who nervously begin placing calls to 911.
As the noise levels rise and demonstrators start banging on your front door, you begin to fear that something very bad is about to happen. Then, you spot the police cars and relief floods over you. At least the cops will keep things under control, you tell yourself. But your relief is shattered when you realize the cops you thought were there to protect you are actually from another jurisdiction and they are there because they escorted the mob to your address.

As they were in another state, they were just thugs with guns.
They wouldn’t even been able to enforce felonies.
No more than ANY private citizen can by effecting as “citizens arrest”.
Which, btw, only counts if you can keep the arrestee “arrested”.

President Kennedys Executive Order 10998, allowing Federal unions, is what opened the door for public sector unions at the state and local level, which is leading to bankruptcy from bloated public sector salaries, benefits, and retirement plans.

If 8 1/2% of the population agree with you, you won’t be in that cell, but I can’t say about your checking account.
Wjhat a disgusting and shocking abuse of power by Metro P.D.!
The officers involved should be fired.
The 1973 Emons decision is in the hall of shame for worst decisions by the Supreme Court. This decision sits with a number of other notable decisions such as Roe v Wade, the 1984 decision that forces education of illegal alien children, Keler decision on property rights, and others.
Can you strap on a pistol, walk out and start “watering your lawn” (including hosing down any scumbags that don’t get off), or is that brandishing, too?
We now have the jackboot ruling class, and all that stands between New World Tyranny and the citizen, is 2A and the Jury.
As you describe it, if you stay on your own property, you are OK, be sure to order trespassers to leave your property, but don’t verbally bait them.
Yep, but not likely.
one could call it state sponsored terrorism ("hit them back harder")
Don't know, why don't you see what you can come up with?
In Virginia you’d have to let them kick your front door down, and then you would have to retreat until you could retreat no farther. Then you can shoot them, and you would probably be charged with first degree murder.
Should have turned on the sprinklers. Nothing hippies hate more than a bath.
That was helpful.
What, enforce an existing law? Surely you jest!
Banging on the door would be that point.
When they are banging, they are not politely knocking, they are trying to break in.
A basic truth for 50 years.
