From the decision:

“Without a search warrant and without announcing their presence, the deputies opened the door of the shack. Mendez rose from the bed, holding a BB gun that he used to kill pests. Deputy Conley yelled, “Gun!” and the deputies immediately opened fire, shooting Mendez and Garcia multiple times.”

So, they can come into your residence unannounced, you don’t know who they are, and if you’re carrying a gun for defense they can shoot you and your unarmed co-resident, and that’s ok. What if it’s a real home invasion? Do you have to determine they aren’t LEOs, wait for them to attack, before shooting?

Something’s wrong here.

Statists ,both left and right, hate citizens rights. They both demand compliant slaves.

This was a LOSS.

The Fourth amendment means nothing today.

It's similar to the case of Cory Maye, who spent years on death row before being freed. 
Complicating Maye's case was the fact that the deputy sheriff he fatally shot was the police chief's son.
