NRA-Backed Law Spells Out When Indianans May Open Fire on Police

By Mark Niquette

I must say I find it humorous this cop claims to be so terrified of average Joe-Schmo citizens when he's the one walking around armed to the teeth with the true permission to "open fire" with impunity. - ChrisEvery time police Sergeant Joseph Hubbard stops a speeder or serves a search warrant, he says he worries suspects assume they can open fire -- without breaking the law.

Hubbard, a 17-year veteran of the police department in Jeffersonville, Indiana, says his apprehension stems from a state law approved this year that allows residents to use deadly force in response to the “unlawful intrusion” by a “public servant” to protect themselves and others, or their property.

“If I pull over a car and I walk up to it and the guy shoots me, he’s going to say, ‘Well, he was trying to illegally enter my property,’” said Hubbard, 40, who is president of Jeffersonville Fraternal Order of Police Lodge 100. “Somebody is going get away with killing a cop because of this law.”

Indiana is the first U.S. state to specifically allow force against officers, according to the Association of Prosecuting Attorneys in Washington, which represents and supports prosecutors. The National Rifle Association pushed for the law, saying an unfavorable court decision made the need clear and that it would allow homeowners to defend themselves during a violent, unjustified attack. Police lobbied against it.

"Those who are intoxicated or emotional can’t decide whether police are acting legally, and suspects may assume they have the right to attack officers, said Tim Downs..."

I find this very funny. Not too long ago in Indiana a drunk man was shot in his own home in only his boxers after being awakened after an illegal entry by police. Another drunk unarmed young man in Indiana was shot to death in his neighbors back yard after getting confused as to which house was his. I think that if anyone is at risk in a situation where an officer comes in contact with a drunk it is tge drunk.

Why is it assumed that a badge makes one MORE trust worthy? Officers in this area have been arrested for: child porn, moonlighting as a cocaine dealer at a high school while working security, wrecking a squad car while joy riding with underage girls, DUI, domestic abuse, etc. There is no reason they should have any more "rights" than anyone else.

"When the government FEARS the people, there is liberty. When the people fear the government there is tyranny."

Joeseph Hubbard, you SHOULD be afraid! Thats the way the people want it. Teach your officers to be polite and courteous. If there is truly a lawful reason for you to be arresting and brutalizing the public, then do it and do it with guns drawn. But, if there is not, BACK OFF!

I am TRULY happy by the new law. A law that respect the people and not the jackboots.

Yes, someone is going to get away with killing a cop, but, how many cops have gotten away with killing innocent civilians without repercussions? Sounds like it may be payback time. Stay at the station until you're needed instead of poking your noses where they don't belong. Cops these days are nothing but janitorial supervisors with a gun. It used to be that cops would protect and serve. Seems thats seldom what happens now. Harrass and brutalize is the new motto. ...but it sounds like Hoosiers are sick of it.

Time to be peace officers again instead of hired thugs collecting immoral booty.

Thanks Indiana! You're paving the way for the people.
