I guess the law just went into effect?

Article on passage and signing from March 23:

http://www.addictinginfo.org/2012/03/23/indiana-governor-signs-bill-allowing-citizens-to-use-deadly-force-against-police-officers-into-law/

In the Conservative Cave, there was some of the same back and forth as here, including these survival rules for police:

Just don't try to arrest people in their own homes. Wait till they come out.

If you have to go in:

Knock or ring the doorbell;

Ask permission to enter;

If you have a warrant, show it and permit the citizen to read it;

If the dog is on a chain, don't shoot it;

If the dog isn't on a chain or otherwise secured, offer the citizen the opportunity to secure it before you think of shooting it;

Once inside, don't deliberately wreck the place while conducting the search;

If you think the coke's in the couch cushions, let your K-9 partner take a whiff before cutting them open;

If you don't find what you're looking for, help the citizen put back anything you moved, apologize, and leave;

And last but not least,

Double-check to make sure you got the right house before knocking.

In this way, shootings of and by police will be greatly reduced.

I noted that too, it was signed Mar. 23. It is a significant law, but of course no MSM coverage.
