See my post to freedomwarrior.
OTOH - if some guy swings a golf club at me - I’m gonna call it a lethal threat and respond accordingly.
It’s a no win situation once the decision is made to enter, ergo, the decision should not be made.
I would think we should apply the same reasoning we do to drunk driving: you decided to drink when you probably “had” to drive. You decided to drive while in a state not conducive to good decision making. You are at fault.
By analogy - the person who decided on a no knock, essentially warrantless, raid, ought to be responsible for everything that followed.
But he won’t be.
Nice try, but the homeowner did not "swing" his golf club at anyone...
In addition, this was not a situation where it was "You" alone, without a dozen helmeted, heavily armed paramilitary police.
Apples and oranges...
They could have easily pepper sprayed and tased this guy...
Agree....
