Honestly, this is how it should happen. Cops make a dynamic entry into someones house, dont announce themselves, etc.... the homeowner opens fire in self defense. The homeowner isnt being charged.
This IS NOT how it should happen. That being said, police officers should always be prepared to be shot or threatened with physical violence when they make a dynamic entry into a home that may have a crime being committed.
There are times when a dynamic entry needs to happen but I agree that in this case, the officers should have knocked on the door. There was no immediate threat so the issue could have been worked out another way.
I agree that this isn't how it should happen. Dynamic entries should be reserved for situations where there is little or no doubt of the danger involved. I do agree however, that in a situation like this, if a cop should be shot, no charges should be filed. You can't blame a person for defending their home against violent intrusion. It's actually a sign of the cops inept attempt that leaves the home owner alive to not be charged. There are no winners in this game, it's pure luck that the officer wasn't killed, and that would have been a tragedy. I assume the homeowner really would have preferred to not shoot anyone, including a cop.
