If they legally broke into this house and if there really was a report of a gun shot, then I don’t have much of a problem.

It's a hypothetical, of course, but I wonder if you'd be so sanguine if it happened to you.

As I said earlier, on many other posts I have been highly critical of the use of the taser. I believe in most of the cases I have seen here, the cops should be prosecuted. I do, particularly when it is not on video, try to see it from the police officers point of view. I have made many enemies on this site pointing out that the real problem much of the time is we have staffed our police forces with a bunch of chickens.

So it may very well be that they are making up ex-post excuses for breaking in this guys house. I wonder for example if they had a warrant. Or if there really was a report of a gun shot fired. Or if there was a report of a gun shot fired, why that permits them to legally break and enter without any firm worry that someone is endangered.
