I believe you are correct. I think this is the same standard that any individual will be held to if involved in a similar situation. Is this the case in Court Martial proceedings as well?

No....I meant what I posted.

How can ANYONE defend this?

With same vigor that you attack it with little information. Hurling insults at people you don't know involved in a situation that you heard about on the news seems to be jumping the gun, no?

I always find comments like "I don't want to bash LEOs"..... Preceding bashing of LEOs funny.

They're being conveniently quiet about what they were actually after in the first place, but it does seem awfully fishy to be in that much of a hurry to get into a motel room; no back door and the only window is almost always the one right by the door, so no hidden escape route, but they couldn't wait for a uniform to handle the initial contact?

While we're speculating with little to no good info.....I'll play:

It's part of the cop conspiracy to slowly take away everyone's civil rights. Based on the info we have, I think the tenant in the room was going to ambush the cops, and had the inn keeper set them up. He obviously couldn't stand the gross civil abuses in LE today and was going to make a stand. He got cold feet at the last minute and the cops released him on scene. It's convenient that the hotel staff sent LE to the room of an armed man...
