The Ithaca Journal reported this week that 36-year-old David M. Cady Jr. had died after being barricaded in his home for three days.
After Cady missed court dates for a DUI over the summer, a warrant had been issued, and the Tompkins County Sheriff Ken Lansing said that the suspect was convinced that he would go to jail. Authorities said that they had reason to believe that Cady had been traveling to Pennsylvania to purchase ammunition so he would be ready when deputies arrived.
Deputies attempted to serve the warrant at around 7 p.m. on Dec. 30, which led to a three day standoff with Cady. Autopsy results later indicated that Cady died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound. The suspect’s wife, Melissa, and two sons were not harmed.
Video that began circulating on Tuesday showed the damage caused to the Cady home when the 18 law enforcement agencies decided to go in after the suspect.

sounds like a ny family is homeless because of something a dumba$$ relative did, not what police did.
18 cops? 1 warrarnt Who's kidding who the over zelous cops did it.
The right to resist arrest is not a privilege. Let the police arrest you peacefully then get a lawyer or two if you feel your rights have been violated. Simple and peaceful solution some people just don't seem to understand.
Start thinking long-term, not in the moment.
Ass did you read the story, he was arming UP.
12:56 Evidently the right to not have your personal property completely razed by State mercenary sociopaths is not a privilege either, huh.
Some real winners on here. 12:08 Do you even read? Maybe you can get a free community college education from your leader. They served the warrant 3 days BEFORE they rushed the place.
FFS, it's the police's fault that this guy broke the law, was a coward and didn't show up for court, armed himself as not to go to jail, then cowardly offed himself? Get a grip.
It's really becoming more and more disheartening, depressing and sad to come to some of these threads knowing what some of the comments are going to be.
Even more troublesome is the fact that a lot of them, if not most, are coming from members of law enforcement themselves.
Is this your normal mindset? Your training? Side effects of steroid use? What is it?
You are not helping yourselves with such arrogant, insensitive, bullyish and combative replies.
Hasn't recent events in the past months taught you anything?
I am not going to go into it further since it would just provide another excuse for more of the same nonsensical replies you guys are becoming so willing to offer instead of intelligent debate or discussion.

You are correct. A right is a right. A privilege is something someone grants to another.
The right to resist an illegal arrest is not only a right, it is a DUTY.
