“If a person on their own property murders another person, this bill creates a very large loophole for their defense,” Kolb said.
Minneapolis Police Chief Tim Dolan said the bill would make serving warrants even more dangerous for officers. He held up a shield officers use when entering homes to illustrate how bullets can pass through it.

It’s ironic they suggest this is bad because it puts the police at risk.
I thought the law was about law abiding citizens protecting themselves and their families.
Sounds like a sucky “shield.”
Dolan fails to mention his now-defunct goon squad(s) that had a penchant for shooting up the wrong house in a search for drug dealers that lived a half a block away.
You are correct.
Those that would shoot a cop on a warrant search will shoot the cop regardless of laws.
Cops make it well known who they are and why they are there when the bust down the door to serve the warrant.
of course they might be at the wrong door and if you have a dog kiss it goodbye.. But that’s a whole nother issue.
In MPLS, the boundary between criminal and police officer is blurred.
