Just saw this article, tried to find a similar thread but i didn't see any so I thought i'd share if you haven't heard.

AllGov - News - Indiana First State to Allow Citizens to Shoot Law Enforcement Officers

Whats yours thoughts on it? On one side I understand why it should be this way, but on the other hand it does seem to put them more at risk for some random guy claiming they broke in.

It is not legal to shoot cops.

It is legal to resist unlawful entry into your residence, including using deadly force, no matter who is the aggressor, cops included. (except relative or other lawful resident)

Umm... If they didn't break in there would be a warrant present? Or at least some verifiable probable cause which would mean they didn't need a warrant.

Are you known as Rambone in another world? Or did you just take his "Inflammatory Thread Titles" class? The one where he teaches to make post titles and cite articles from less than reputable sources to cover a topic that doesn't really line up with the thread title?

This is not new news.

Wait, I can't go Clarence Boddicker and mess up the IMPD? Okay, okay... I hate how people try to write articles that horribly slant things... It's poor journalism (coming from a communications major)

Why is this news now???

It was effective in July of 2011.

That is EASILY the stupidest article I have read in years. (and that's saying something)

the thread title is to get peoples attention to the article, I'm fully aware of what the law is for. Calm down.

You know, I know, and they (previous posters) know, but Joe Blow who reads this may not.

No, we're not doing this stupidity. This is nothing more than trolling.
