Police officers in Indiana are upset over a new law allowing residents to use deadly force against public servants, including law enforcement officers, who unlawfully enter their homes.

First codified in Indiana in 1893 under the Plummer decision regarding false arrest by Indiana police and other "Public Servants," Plummer v. State, 135 Ind. 308, 34 N.E. 968 Ind. 1893

“Citizens may resist unlawful arrest to the point of taking an arresting officer's life if necessary.”

So did the SCOTUS ruling nullify Plummers?
