It's always the ones who claim they need guns to protect themselves from a tyrannical government who go completely silent when the jackboot of the state lands on someone's throat.

The "great" thing there is they charged the man with attempted murder of a police officer. You know, the people who wrongly entered a domicile in a state where your are allowed to use lethal force to defend yourself.
This country is really so [Poor language removed]...
They had a search warrant didn't they ?
Kind of. Yes they did but it was predicated on false information. If you read the cops reasonings is really bad. They were granted a no knock warrant but they decided to knock on the door 5 times and then went in find blazing?
And, in Kentucky, if someone breaks in to your home you have the right to defend yourself up to and including lethal force. As far as the people in that place were concerned someone was breaking in to their home.
Oh, and the guy they were looking for? They already had in custody.

They did, but this exact situation is all that Castle doctrine / right to bear arms to defend your home from burglars leads to.
If he didn’t know they were cops (which that report strongly suggests) and genuinely thought he was at risk there is no way he should be convicted.
No man, ths is a different case. It isn't a fully grown man repearsdly trespassing on an unguarded construction site at night.
Which, of course, carries a strict death sentence by gun-toting posse. When you're banned yet again, your new username should be Grand Wizard

If they've forced the door and then not declared their presence, well they really don't have a leg to stand on and went against all standard training, you'd suspect.

Ahmaud Arbery was shot dead at around 1pm and hadn’t been trespassing on a construction site though.

Apparently it was a no-knock warrant and they were in plain clothes.
A no-knock warrant is an equivalent to many of our warrants where you do not need to announce by knocking etc., but are able to force entry to the premises.
You still shout "Police!" etc. when you're going through the threshold whether you're in civies or not, and if you do not well you're taking your own risks.
