In short, he upped the level of confrontation. He demonstrated that he was manifestly a danger to the officers (at least), and quite probably the community at large. If the police failed to secure a warrant, then it is they who must bear the responsibility for upping the level of confrontation. Warrantless break-ins by the police are a manifest danger to citizens specifically and to the nation at large.
OK, so the cops have to go out and get the paperwork filled out
just so before responding to any threat made against them?
And you wonder why nobody takes your arguments seriously...
Congratulations, Bach, you have the most narcissistic and absurd profile page on FR. What a Renaissance Man! LMAO. Sure - poet, painter, composer, macho fireman and inimitable man of letters ... but computer programmer as well? Wow! And, to think of all the things you left off ... Rodeo bullrider, astronaut, male model, scultpor. You aren't a self-satisfied twit whatsoever. If I'd known I was going to lose the esteem of a world class talent like yourself, I may never have backed the right of those cops to not be murdered on duty.
Nah, I still would have, so just keep moving along you self-deluded phony.
