If LEO’s lost their job and had to pay restitution for these “mistakes”, they would do their homework and make fewer wrong entries.
How about jail time. Restitution and never work again as a police officer. Additionally no shielding from civil judgments. Put these officers families in the poor house. That way Mrs. Police officer can panhandle for grocery money. Live on the “bad side of town” and be hassled by the cops. Sounds like a good deterrent. Make cops personally criminally and civil liable.
Problem. Solved.
Eventually someone is going to shoot back. And the blood will be on these Jack Booted Thugs.
And nothing will happen to them. NOTHING.
If the war on drugs were dropped, we wouldn’t have any of this non-sense. Neither innocent people nor cops would be put into these situations.

I don’t want them to lose their jobs for this without a chance at rehabilitation. Ten lashes with the Cat-o-Nine-Tails should do it for the first offense.
“In 1955 there was no “War on Drugs(TM)”, and this kind of **** never happened.”
Because in 1955 the cops didn’t need a warrant at all to kick down doors. They just went and did it, probable cause or not.
