I am of the opinion that absent:

- a warrant
- observing the suspect entering the shack

The officers had no legal authority to be there in the first place, thus the officers are responsible for beginning the chain of actions that resulted in the shooting. As such, they are at fault.

Well, I guess the UNANIMOUS Supreme Court decision is legally wrong and you are right. /sarc

The correct test is whether the officers were reasonable in using force to defend themselves...nothing more. The Supremes got this one right IMHO.
