So, stuff happens. It's always good to get past an arrest situation ALIVE ~ that should always be your first preoccupation at that point.

Then have at it in court.

I know a man whose wife pushed his wheelchair, with him in it, down the stairs at his home.

Yes. It is quite sad that anyone had to die in this particular case. Too bad the officer didn’t get off the property and get a warrant, just as the property owner asked of him. Instead of the police chief showing up and telling the officer to shoot the dogs, the police chief could have intervened and attempted to talk the guy down. There are a lot of could have/should haves. It is terrible that this turned into a tragedy. It also a tragedy that things like this lead conservatives to allow the Constitution to slide. Sure Mr. TSA Agent, pat down my well developed, 15 year old daughter. I have nothing to hide, after all.
