They need a warrant if he goes in the house. He was at his doorstep and told them to go away.
Should been obvious he wasn't going to answer any questions and he even has a right to silence.

So even a cop who thinks this is a legal detainment should realize the best case scenario for everyone is to obey the property owner's request to leave and get a warrant if indeed there was actual reason to question and detain him.

Problem is this was basically like two idiots in high school with wounded pride. Leaving when someone is yelling at you and you feel you are in the right takes a big and intelligent man.
Police should be trained to be that kind of man and yet we find they are not.

In the end this was bad for both parties as both got fired upon.
Both parties had an easy way out but the irony is the blame is put on a citizen and not highly trained police.

Infact, the "witness" being there in the line of fire was very bad, and yet the cops escalated by firing a bean bag while that "witness" was there.
Absolutely ignorant.
