I bow to your intimate knowledge of the thoughts of criminals.No need to get snarky.The US Constitution lists our right to be secure in our homes, etc, and there shouldn't need to be a law.But, the cops abused it so badly that court cases were piling up with citizens whose rights had been violated, and recent court decisions have made this law necessaryThe purpose of this law is rein in the cops, not to cut legalize shooting themPardon me for not having much faith in the wording of these types of laws that allow the use of deadly force.As we have seen with the 'Stand Your Ground' laws, they can be quite vague and open to much misinterpretation, and criminals have been able to take advantage of that fact.So the next time a police officer enters the wrong house when executing a warrant (which has been known to happen) I guess it's okay to blow him/her away, because either he/she or someone in the department made a mistake.Ooops. Sorry you're dead officer.
