If someome is pointing a gun at you, it's probably too late to do anything. There should probably be cameras and motion detectors monitoring the perimeter in order to provide early warning.

The second part is harder to defend against. I didn't flinch when LEO pointed a loaded gun at me and threatened to shoot me, but as soon as they threatened my wife I told them I would sign whatever fiction they wanted to write, which I did. It just took me close to 8 years of being in jail to get a judge to look at it and tell them off and throw out the document.

... Police threatened your wife in order to make you sign a confession? That's extremely fucked up.

Yes. Stupid retards did it on video though, otherwise it wouldn't have been seen at all. This was after over an hour of threatening me and refusing my right to silence, not letting me speak to my lawyer, etc.

I would like to know more, if you're able.

Eight years of false imprisonment sounds like lawsuit city, to me.

It is. I filed suit for a lot of different claims related to this, the only one that stuck was the coerced statements. I filed in 2015 but it is still working through the federal court.
