Perhaps your tagline should be amended to read:

THE TREE OF LIBERTY NEEDS TO BE WATERED FROM TIME TO TIME WITH THE BLOOD OF TYRANTS... UNLESS A LEO ORDERS OTHERWISE!!!

You're jacked out of shape at me because of what an LEO did. LOL Unbelievable. You do understand that I had NOTHING to do with their arrest, right?

I'm not a police officer and I don't know their laws, so I can't answer that question either. [whether the LEO was in pursuit of fleeing felony suspects]

You obviously want me to say that it's my fault a law isn't up to your expectations, and I'm not going to do it. If you have a beef about this incident, you should call the police department, (records dept) and ask them about his arrest and what charges they have filed against them.

Do you still stand behind your declaration that:

He was within his right to enter their house and arrest them at that time.

Yes, I do, because he had the law on his side! If you don't like the way the laws are, you need to get them changed. I didn't make ANY of these laws. Since LEOS make these kind of arrests all the time, the courts must back them, or they wouldn't do it. Does that mean I agree with every action/decision that an LEO makes? NO, I don't, but it's NOT my call.

FWIW, I have seen many people get arrested for failing to obey a police officer's orders!

That's wrong. I'm arguing with you over your support for the LEO's actions, and your less than stellar defense of the Second Amendment.

You do understand that I had NOTHING to do with their arrest, right?

Of Course. My tagline suggestion was because of your Kerryesque hedge on the RKBA with respect to NOPD gun confiscation.

You obviously want me to say that it's my fault a law isn't up to your expectations, and I'm not going to do it.

Again, I have no idea where you get that. AFAIK, you are not a legislator, so I don't blame you for the law, nor the LEO's enforcement of same. (Sheesh, is there a full moon tonight?)

If you have a beef about this incident, you should call the police department, (records dept) and ask them about his arrest and what charges they have filed against them.

No need, it's in the article:

"they were charged with two counts of assaulting a government official, and one count each of resisting arrest and desecrating an American flag."

Hmmm... no charges of fleeing, or failure to produce ID is mentioned...

Yes, I do [still stand behind the declaration that he was within his right to enter their house and arrest them at that time], because he had the law on his side!

You said you didn't know whether they were suspected of a felony, but you still support a warrantless entry. Is it your opinion that warrantless entries are constitutional in the investigation of a misdemeanor?
