[QUOTE="Dave70968, post: 2992551, member: 13624"] [URL]http://reason.com/blog/2017/05/30/supreme-court-rules-8-0-for-police-in-ma[/URL] Boldface mine. So, if you [I]lawfully[/I] have a gun in your own home, and you're just sitting there, minding your own business, and the police [I]unlawfully[/I] bust in on you and see the gun, it's not excessive force to shoot you. This is truly an instance where the victim did nothing wrong, the police did everything wrong, but they get to shoot him anyway, and the Court just held that it's not excessive force. But we don't live in a police state. [/QUOTE]
