Executing a lawful search warrant isn't government tyranny, and no you don't have a right to shoot the police officers who are executing that warrant.
Stop conflating irrelevant things.

Right, Garage... that's what I said....

I doubt the "conservatives" that are siding with the police have ever had a single original thought

I'm more anti-Police than even BLM.
But the Left is tryna have it both ways. They want all these laws that require police to enforce, then they don't want the police to enforce it.
Or what do you propose we do if I decide to run a business, not pay taxes, and hire security to prevent the state from collecting?
I'd rather have less laws and also less police to enforce those laws.

K1, I think we can agree on your first two paragraphs :)
Contrary to popular opinion, you can actually think that the ruling was correct, while still supporting that walker has every right to protect himself from someone breaking down the door. The police had a valid warrant, knocked/announced themselves (even though apparently the warrant was a no knock) and returned fire after being fired upon and having the first officer through the door shot. On the flip side, if walker didn’t hear the police announce, he has every right to protect himself and stand his ground when someone kicks down his door. You can view this as a tragic event that there are no people at fault, and murder charges shouldn’t be filed on either side.

Maybe not for murder, but some accountability needs to be had here. We can’t just shake our heads and pretend there’s nothing that can be done; there is.
Kentucky is a “stand your ground” state, too.
This is the dumbest argument ever. The guy was already a felon so he doesn't have the right to own a firearm. Second, this has nothing to do with gun rights whatsoever. It was to do with officers having a legal drug warrant and then executing that warrant.
Probably for assuming the black gun owner was a felon
I wonder how the judge feels about their approving “received a package once” and “we think there may be drugs but not the perp” as evidence when it resulted in an officer shot and the innocent woman dead. I also wonder how the detective who presented the evidence feels. If they’ve never second guessed their decision, I really question their humanity.
I’ve heard so many different variations of the events that occurred during the night of the shooting (wrong/correct address, knocked/didn’t knock, asleep in bed/in hallway, involved with drug dealing/angel, not racially/racially motivated) that I really don’t know what to believe. I feel like the media is trying to create disruption. Regardless, it’s always sad to see a young person shot to death.

When did I ever say take away everyone's guns? I'm pro 2A, and pro law enforcement.
Yes, he had a right to defend his property under the assumption that he did not know that they were police. But, also, police officers have a right to return fire if shot at. It goes both ways.
And again, they were executing a lawfully obtained search warrant.
