Officer Hurt, Family Feels "Invaded"

Officer Hurt, Family Feels "Invaded" ^ | 11/25/05 | Dennis Turner

How green was this cop?

[calrighty]

If a cop from another state barged into my house, he would have a problem.

[RAY]

. "He barged straight in. I didn't know who he was, so I asked him to step back outside and talk. He pushed me."

Under the apparent circumstances, it seems he should have knocked at the door, identified himself, and asked to see the party to question, all while standing outside the home. Something seems wrong with this story.

[razorback-bert]

A one-man Lubbok SWAT team.

[tomakaze]

re:said Commander Mark Blackson who adds, technically, the officer did nothing wrong
 
...aside from barging into someones home unnanounced and without a warrant.

[pierrem15]

And armed. Isn't that considered a 'home invasion'?

[Oztrich Boy]

But get this: Because the incident happened in Tennessee, Mr. Brown and his son could only be charged with simple assault. If it had happened it Mississippi it would have been aggrivated assault on a police officer... and a felony

Duh! Might have something to do with Daniel Grisham not being a police officer

[SevenMinusOne]

If this cowboy cop barged into this house (like suggested) he should be canned yesterday!

Way too many police departments cover for these type guys instead of firing them stat!

[Cicero]

It is simply illegal for a cop or anyone else to enter a house without a) identifying himself; and b) receiving permission to enter or having a warrant to enter. This cop broke all the rules and should be fired for incompetence.

[TexasTransplant]

Lucky he isn't room temp.

[Doc Savage]

I done be throwin 'em out the house cuz I'z angra and drunk, I be doin!

[Horatio Gates]

And armed. Isn't that considered a 'home invasion'?

At a minimum this is a burglary...at least in my neck of the woods.

[Coldwater Creek]

Obviously you have no idea what kind of people live Milbranch seven houses up from the state line. Trash is what lives there.

[Coldwater Creek]

I am curious as to why someone that lives in Michagan would pick up a story like this in Tennessee???

[clee1]

If ANYONE barges into my house unannounced, they will have NO more problems on Earth.... they'll be promptly sent on to the next life.

[Physicist]

This cop broke all the rules and should be fired for incompetence.

Assuming the father's story is exactly true. The officer's story might be that he identified himself, stated his business, was invited inside, and was roughed up.

[ozoneliar]

In all these types of stories there is a one sentence addition about the homeowners' legal action. If it were me I'd have filed a lawsuit yesterday.

[ActionNewsBill]

I am curious as to why someone that lives in Michagan would pick up a story like this in Tennessee???

Maybe because nobody from Tennessee posted it?

Also it's a good story to show how cops have become so arrogant and out-of-control.

BTW, it's spelled "Michigan"
