'Officer Safety' Uber Alles: The Coercion Cartel's Prime Directive by William Norman Grigg

'Officer Safety' Uber Alles: The Coercion Cartel's Prime Directive by William Norman Grigg: This would expand existing legal protection for the defensive use of lethal force against home invaders -- including, where appropriate, the government-employed variety. That prospect is causing the local tax eaters’ guild to irrigate their skivvies.

Dennis Flaherty, executive director of the Minnesota Police and Peace Officers Association, complains that enactment of the measure "could result in dangerous situations for police officers, who regularly enter homes without permission," reports Twin Cities ABC affiliate KSTP. "We’re fearful that people will react and shoot and our officers could be mistaken for someone that they believe is trying to jeopardize their safety," simpers Flaherty. In encounters of the kind Flaherty describes, it would be more accurate to say that citizens would recognize police officers as people who "jeopardize their safety."
