What do you do when the police knock on your door?

Well, two options come to mind. You can answer the door or not answer
the door. Both can be bad ideas.

Men posing as police officers break into home

A total of six people were inside the house when three men, who identified themselves as police officers, entered with guns drawn wearing vests with "Cicero Police" written across the back, baseball caps with "POLICE" written on the bill, and duty belts with gun holsters, Liakopoulos said. Two of the men were carrying handguns.

Hmm... That didn't go very well. I guess that to be safe, you should just not answer the door.

Man charged after gun incident

Police responded to the report of a male subject inside of a residence with a handgun, and the caller wanted him removed, according to Sgt. Frank Stearns. - WTF???

Officers attempted to make contact with the individual who was later identified as Davis. He refused to come to the door when asked by police. - Right, they "asked" him to come to the door.

It was found that Davis did not threaten anyone with the handgun. He was charged with interference with official acts for refusing to answer his door and speak to police. A 9mm handgun was recovered inside the Davis residence. - So the guy didn't do ANYTHING and he got arrested, charged with a crime, and his gun was confiscated.

Nice work, boys.

You're an idiot! If you called the police because you wanted a man inside your house removed and reported he had a gun, would you want the police to leave when he wouldn't answer the door?

Read it again. Where does it say the the "caller" was reporting a person with a gun in HIS home?

The way I read it, the guy was in his own home and some nosy neighbor called the cops.

Thanks for stopping by.
