How green was this cop?

If a cop from another state barged into my house, he would have a problem.

. "He barged straight in. I didn't know who he was, so I asked him to step back outside and talk. He pushed me."

Under the apparent circumstances, it seems he should have knocked at the door, identified himself, and asked to see the party to question, all while standing outside the home. Something seems wrong with this story.

A one-man Lubbok SWAT team.

re:said Commander Mark Blackson who adds, technically, the officer did nothing wrong
 
...aside from barging into someones home unnanounced and without a warrant.

[Oztrich Boy]

But get this: Because the incident happened in Tennessee, Mr. Brown and his son could only be charged with simple assault. If it had happened it Mississippi it would have been aggrivated assault on a police officer... and a felony

Duh! Might have something to do with Daniel Grisham not being a police officer

If this cowboy cop barged into this house (like suggested) he should be canned yesterday!

Way too many police departments cover for these type guys instead of firing them stat!

[Cicero]

It is simply illegal for a cop or anyone else to enter a house without a) identifying himself; and b) receiving permission to enter or having a warrant to enter. This cop broke all the rules and should be fired for incompetence.

I done be throwin 'em out the house cuz I'z angra and drunk, I be doin!

I am curious as to why someone that lives in Michagan would pick up a story like this in Tennessee???

[Paloma_55]

While this story certainly brings up the "My home is my castle" angle, I doubt these guys are telling the truth.

More than likely, the cop knocked, identified himself, and asked to speak to them. The father, recognizing that this guy was from out of state and out of uniform, proceeded to kick the crap out of him.

Later, the story was modified to make it more palatable.

Had an out of state cop appeared at my door, I would have politely suggested that he contact local authorities and have them come back with him, then wished him a good day.

Had he broken into my house, there would have been a busted door and a body lying in the broken glass just inside the entry.

[Larry Lucido]

Hmmm.

The Injury of Officer Daniel Grisham Brought Law Officers From TWO States

An out of state cop barges into someone's house and gets thrown out by the householder and his youngest son...and dozens of cops from two states come and arrest the not only the man and his youngest son, but also two other teenage boys plus one boy's girlfriend, and they are all released without charges. And there is no mention of the arrest or involvement of Dustin Green, who Detective Grisham was there ostensibly to question. If there was as big a police overreaction as there appears to be here, I hope the innocent are able to sue and collect for damages.

These things happen more often than people know about. All states have a mutual aid agreement and frequently share peace officer powers between jurisdictions.

Probably not the case for powers in this case, but the story seems a bit one sided on it's face.

California and Arizona have such agreements, with AZ DPS and CHP being sworn in each others jurisdiction under a mutual aid agreement.

It's not uncommon for one state's officers to enforce laws and turn suspects over to the local jurisdiction when situations warrant it. I've seen this happen many times.
