This has been posted all over FR.

The newspaper reporter's take is totally wrong.

It's not overturning 800 years of Common Law. This has been in place since 1942 under the Model Arrest Act.... long affirmed by SCOTUS.

This is not about allowing illegal searches.

This simply says that if a homeowner does not agree that the LEOs have a right to enter, the time and place to argue that position is in one of the many legal avenues of redress, in court, in the cold, sober light of day, not to get into a fight, perhaps a gunfight with the LEOs at 3:00 AM.

This is blown way out of proportion.

So they break down your door at 3 AM, shouting “police”, shooting your dog,

and find out later that they had the wrong address,

and we’re supposed to roll over and take it?

What about the case of a hot burglary, with criminals yelling “police”?

You are wasting your time injecting facts and reason into the discussion.

Perhaps LEO’s shouldn’t be doing hot home invasions at 3AM like a common criminal...

At what point were the officers attempting to arrest this man? From what I've read, it seems the police officer was attempting an unlawful entry, not an arrest. Once the violence escalated, then they attempted and did arrest him.
