This man spent Five Years of his life in Jail for acting in Reasonable Self-Defense against a cop who did not follow the rules.
This part bears repeating:
The agents of the government are not supposed to be our masters. They are supposed to be our servants.
When agents of the government act as criminals, they should not be surprised when citizens treat them as criminals. When they disregard due process, they should lose immunity for their actions.
The case shows why the Stand Your Ground law was needed. Warrants are not only to protect the accused. Properly used, they also protect police. If the officer had a warrant, had knocked on the door and presented it, it is highly likely he would not have been shot.
