That right there is unlawful entry. If they do not identify themselves and then still decide to storm in through the door, in any homeowners view, they are a intruder and can legally be shot.

Oh, yeah? Hardly the case. The Indiana Supreme Court didn't even deal with that issue ~ the majority decision simply said you couldn't lawfully resist even unlawful entry by the cops.

The guy didn't live there. He'd announced his intention. His stuff was out, and if it wasn't out he was entitled to his day in court to make his claim and in most places even have the Sheriff HELP HIM remove it.

The woman asked the cops to come to her place ~ and her right is paramount in this case. Don't ignore her right. The police actions follow directly from it.

You are entirely too dramatic. This is a case ~ a simple case actually ~ where a woman invited the cops over on official business.

The cops came. A guy jumped them at the door.

He was certainly not trying to defend her!

You are applying standards not found everywhere. Some of the state laws don’t care who opened the door, nor even if the intruder is there lawfully.
