So its ok for cops to strike innocent people who aren’t even under suspicion for a crime?

If they don’t listen to the police when they enter under a warrant and start reaching for things when they say stop...YES! Police can’t tell if their innocent or reaching for a suicide belt.

If something causes police to enter your home (warrant or mistake), you always cooperate, then when it all clears start complaining.

Police everywhere are NOT trained to come in second.
Some common sense should prevail.

As an example:

As a kid, I was coming back from playing RB at a private club.
I got pulled over by 6 cop cars, 8 police all with guns drawn.

I had my palms on the wheel for them to see and cooperated.
It was scary as hell.
I was not who they were looking for.
They left, I was shook up, but did not get hurt.

My car matched the description of someone else who just robbed a place near where I was at.

I had my hands in plain sight and in my case offered to take them to 15 witnesses of where I had been the last two hours.

Things happen, but you have to cooperate and expect that cops aren’t always going to be perfect.
Situations may not always be right and you should not cause them to get worse if you can.
