Judge finds police acted reasonably in shooting New Mexico man while at wrong address
Cops can literally go in your house and shoot you even though they have no warrants and face no consequences.
Just in case someone needs to hear this, if you fear for your life, you're legally allowed to shoot and kill someone breaking into your house.
This is totally not related to this situation though.
Good luck with that. Cops will shoot back and only escalate the situation. You’ll be lucky if you aren’t killed. Then, later they’ll get some bad press like this, but a judge will side with them.
Right... but their point was breaking in without a warrant, which means illegal. And with how the current regime is handling things, you might as well go out standing for your rights than to be thrown to the el salvador meat grinder.
The man in this case was shot anyway, so I don't think the argument of "they'll shoot you if you fight back" is particularly strong when they'll shoot you regardless. Maybe if they're scared to be so aggressive they'll eventually stop, but they certainly aren't stopping when there is no risk to them.
