You are under the mistaken impression that they needed a special kind of warrant to enter the house without their explicit permission. They are required to make a good faith effort to notify the people that they are there to search the premises. That requirement was fulfilled because the mother-in-law saw them and started yelling.
Knocking down the door and going in is permitted if they have tried to leg the people know they are there and they have reason to believe that not going in might result in evidence being destroyed or might put someone at risk.
That's where their decision came in.
They broke the law, and need to be punished.
I don't think you understand the law and are more than happy to jump on the blame the police bandwagon.
As public servants charged with upholding the rule of law, they need to be punished far more severely than some Joe Blow off the street.
Everyone needs to be held equally accountable under the law. If they break the law they should get no special treatment one way or the other.
Anything else is liberal BS of trying to shift blame. Everyone needs to be held equally accountable for their own actions.
If the did break the law, I do agree that they need to be held accountable.
Your fact-twisting defense of these dog-killing, door-smashing thugs is truly amazing.
If anything, police officers who break the law should be punished more severely.
And cops who break the law should be held individually liable for any damages, which might actually make them clean up their acts.
You’re one of them.
No, I will not give you my papers. Shove a knife in my heart if you want them.
I wonder if cop spokespersons believe that excuse works in the real world
