That's what I keep trying to tell other posters, but they just don't get it. If you read the article, the man told the cops to leave and not come back until they had a warrant. Good call. Then the police chief showed up when the man demanded to see a warrant and told the officer to shoot the dogs. At that point, the man shot the cop. I'm not saying that the cop deserved to die. Nobody did. Our founders included a Constitutional provision for due process and illegal searches and seizures for a reason. My brother in law was a victim of this. I posted in another point on this thread. Luckily he had video evidence that he was right. He received no apology from the LEOs because they were following the law: A DV call is made, a man gets arrested. He can't even sue them for violating his Constitutional rights.

Didn’t read that in the one article that I skimmed thru but if this is correct then at the least the Police Chief needs to be charged with this cops murder as well. Unfortunately, for a DV call they don’t need a warrant to arrest him (who would have thought? no crime but they can arrest you anyway and kill the dogs to boot).

Don’t bother trying to convince the “law and order” types that the constitution should be followed in all cases or it won’t be followed in any. They have spent too long pickling in liberal/feminist propaganda and firmly support loosing our liberties in order to fight the various “wars” on drugs, terror, DV, whatever. I’m glad your bother had a video to back up his claim otherwise he would have been put through the grinder. And don’t expect any apologies, they never admit that they did anything wrong and never will. Even if a SWAT team raids the wrong house they typically will not pay for any damages.

I do hope though that your brother at least bounced that woman out of his house and life. If not then he really did not learn anything from his experience.
