"I guess, then, had the officers been standing on the sidewalk going through the process of ensuring the suspect did not pose any danger to them, and this woman was standing on her property within inches of the police action, you’d be okay with that? Officers are trained to 1) secure the area for their own safety, and 2) secure the area for the safety of others in the area."


Actually, officers have no business on anyone's private property unless A). they see a major violent felony or burglary in progress and the homeowner is absent, B.) are summoned or invited onto the property by the owner, and/or C.) have a warrant.

Otherwise, the property owner is within their rights to do whatever they wish to on their property as long as they're not threatening imminent violence towards the police.....Whether the fraidy-cop likes it or not.

What kind of authoritarian society do you want here? You obviously have no respect for freedom, liberty, or the Constitution based on what I've read of yours.

Those are the ONLY times they have any business being on anyone's property? Hmmm. I subscribe to you that most if not all state supreme courts and the SCOTUS disagree. You don't watch any true crime tv shows, do you?
