I wish you’d link to the real story on this one. I just read it and it is horrible that cops would do this BS to someone who hadn’t done anything wrong! IMHO every last one of those violent home invaders deserves to die just like any other violent home invader.
Sadly, this was Nevada and not Indiana or Texas where the people have the legal right to use lethal force to defend themselves against cops who act outside the law and outside the Constitution.
Note to the Jackboot Lickers: I don’t care that you’re offended. Bite me.
Rightly or wrongly, no judge would rule in your favor if the above course of action was taken in the situation in question, whether it happened in Texas, Indiana, Nevada, or the moon. Just wouldn’t happen.
Totally agree. It is up to the property owner. Up here in Northern Idaho, I would probably let them in, because the LEO would ask....not demand as they are part of the community.
Sorry, but cops engaged in a firefight do not have, and should not have, an obligation to follow legal technicalities that would otherwise apply.
If someone is shooting at me, I have every right, even if I’m not a cop, to take cover wherever I can.
For more or less the exact same reason I have the right to shoot someone who is trying to kill me.
This is the exact same line of reasoning, only flipped, by which every serving of a warrant needs to be done using SWAT tactics.
