This shouldn't really be a problem, should it? The police would not enter property unlawfully, in general. And if they did, they would be perpetrators and expect lawful resistance. As citizens assert their 2nd Amendment rights, it seems appropriate and kind to warn law enforcement today to keep their t's crossed and i's dotted before taking action. Protect law enforcement personnel by making them aware of the consequences of their actions. It should never be illegal to resist someone simply because they are wearing a uniform or carrying a badge, lest the criminals just start wearing uniforms and carrying badges.

This PROTECTS the cops.

Now, when they shoot you or your dog when entering your house unlawfully, they can claim you were shooting at them.

Police union bots are probably busily saying this now, after, of course, their standard, “Fine, see how fast cops come to YOUR house when you need them” posts for anyone who supports this “restriction” on cops.

It's not uncommon for home invaders to scream "Police!, Police!". The only reason it works is because unannounced, bust-in searches that are indistinguishable from home invasions to the occupants are all too commonplace.
