IMO, she had the legal right to deck him with a baseball bat. Or shoot him for that matter.

Anyone who adopts your legal advice will find themselves in prison for a long, long time.

The Fourth Amendment means what it says, not what illiterates wish that it said.

I said *in my opinion*. I'm well aware of what would happen if she actually did it.

And in spite of being illiterate (by virtue of my interpretation of the 4th amendment), I can read simple sentences if the words don't have too many syllables.

4th Amendment Text

The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.

The courts would say it is unlawful for a homeowner to use force to defend themselves in their own home if the [warrant-less] attacker is a cop. So? I don't see the 4th saying that I don't have a right to defend against the illegal search and detainment. Yep, they are better armed, more powerful and the courts regularly create & eliminate "rights" all the time. Do our rights cease to exist because those violating them are more powerful. No.

Would I have resisted with force? No, I have no desire to get the crap beaten out of me by uniformed thugs.

Obviously you failed to get the memo about the suspension of the Bill of Rights and the Constitution....
