Oh yes. That's our own experience. In fact, we go to court in the next week because of that very thing. Cops don't care who they punch, maim and then destroy by filing bogus charges to cover for their unlawful thuggery.
Then we discover that the unlawful entry by the cops is immaterial because the bogus charge they levied washes away the fact they had no business to break and enter without any cause, warrant or justification outside of wanting to show two women how big and bad they could be.
And yes, their excuse is that they felt 'threatened' because my kids walked away from a closed and locked door after refusing them entry. We learned that cops have authority to "create a situation to effect an arrest" - meaning that according to the "laws" written mostly after 9-11, that cops are trained to incite, intimidate, threaten and create any situation they deem necessary when they decide they want to arrest someone. Anyone. For any reason.
It was shocking to discover that is the 'law'. But we have learned that legislators decided cops 'need to do their duty unimpeded' - and thus the reason we are seeing cases like this every single day. Cops are trained to see civilians as terrorists. And if you dare cite the Constitution and your rights - the cops will do to you what they did to my kids, and perhaps even worse.
Welcome to the police state.
Your kids will have arrest records, no matter what happens in court next week. That will come in handy when they have kids of their own and the gummint decide they don’t like the way they’re being raised.
It’s not going to stop until they start getting their fool heads blown off after breaking through the wrong doors. As long as they are confident they’ll go home safe at the end of their shift after spending many happy hours breaking down the doors and jaws of innocent citizens, they’ll just get more and more abusive.

Good luck in the outcome of your case. That sounds like complete BS.
Any help from the ACLU or anyone similar?

Well, that’s news to me. Certainly explains a lot.
