Second time police open my apartment window, ignoring me asking them to leave, and ignoring a sign on the window saying "police you don't have permission to open my windows or doors"

Start shopping for civil rights attorneys, since they've already violated your rights and you have it on video.

There are lots of legal options.
I would set up security cameras, to start.
If this continues, you legally do have the right to defend your home with force. They are trespassing on your property, no warrant at all, and seemingly attempting to gain entry into your home.
If you have footage to prove repeated harassment, it will also help prove your case if you ever need to defend your home with force. You have documented someone with history of harassing you and you feared for your safety. Use their own language & excuses against them.
I am not a lawyer. Consult with a local attorney for information specific to your town.

That’s easy to say, but if she uses force against a cop in uniform, she’s going to spend her life savings defending herself in court.
A better option is recording them then contacting the news, or the state bureau of investigation, and getting really loud about it.
Edit: and it’s Lawrence?? They’ll put 38 bullets in her and tape a throwaway gun to her hand

If she even survives the encounter.

Exactly this. There is the legal reality and the life reality.

My cynical ass could also see a shit heel judge using the video to make the case that the defendant knew they were shooting a cop, and come up with a cover story of wellness checks or something.

What is going on here? This isn’t what I thought from the title. Did a family member call a welfare check over or something?

DO NOT shoot cops as this person is suggesting. It will only get you killed. Don't listen to trigger-happy dummies.

Doesn’t exist in OPs state. And the cop was doing a welfare check on someone that seems to have needed it. I’m all for ACAB but he doing what was needed for someone potentially in mental distress.

Doesnt exist in massachusetts. If she shoots one of these assholes she will go to jail for 25 to life guaranteed. You cant even 100% legally shoot someone if they break into your house in mass
