Isn't this then the second time an incident like this has been upheld by the courts in the past month? Sorry, don't have a cite, but remember seeing a victim of poor police work was not charged in shooting an officer during a similar no-knock.

No, this was even stupider..
Off duty 'constable' (court clerk, that's an LEO, basically), OFF DUTY, working as a security guard, stuck his foot in the door so a man couldn't close it, when the guy finally got pissed and told him to F off,and tried to slam the door, it hit the fucking idiots foot, and he said it was battery.
The state then tried to say that, because the defendant didn't object to dipshidiots foot in the door, that it was OK for him to have it there, and was thus, assault, because he used force.
He's lucky he didn't get shot.... You stick a foot in front of my door so it won't close, that's a clear intention to me that you're trying to make entry, or making it so I can't retreat.. Fuck that noise.
