The cop was invited in by the woman ~ a resident there. He didn't need a warrant to enter under that condition. The man had already informed the cop that he'd moved out ~ which mean he was no longer a resident.

So, it's not an issue involving a cop doing something unlawful, but rather an issue where a non resident decided to physically abuse a cop otherwise lawfully occupied who just happened to be there.

The law, in general, provides that you can't just go beat up people 'cause you feel like doing it.

That info was not in the source link.

Got more info?

Thanks - I didn’t realize those details. Any more, anything that involves the government, I automatically assume the worst. 90% of the time, that is the correct assumption.
