Current Indiana law gives homeowners the right to use whatever force they deem necessary to defend themselves and their property against unlawful entry.

Well, I guess if you're an Indiana cop and you don't like this law, you shouldn't have gone to the Indiana Supremes and claimed homeowners had no right to resist you even if you were entering illegally (the court AGREED!!!!). Best be careful what you wish for. D'oh!

The court ruling that homeowners have no right to resist police entry at any time is what started the outcry .

All police need do is return to the good old days of only fully uniformed,identifiable officers who loudly and cleasrly identify themselves as police before attempting entry,and who attempt entry only with carefully vetted warrants unless immediate entry is necessary to prevent,not cause, the death or serious injury of a person.

Police SWAT units should be reviewed and procedures changed to eliminate the ninja military sniper mindset.

Most no-knock raids should never happen; they are just a chance for certain rogue cops to “play Army”.We know how that turned out at Ruby Ridge and Waco.

The cops didn’t make that argument. That is an invention of the judge who wrote the decision. The cops were INVITED ~ and did not make an unlawful entry.
