... assuming it is the real cops coming in your door at 3AM, and not some thugs in rented uniform.

Great, have a shootout at 3:00, and your widow will learn if they are real cops by 4:00 AM.

Do you think it makes a difference if the thug shoots you or the cop shoots you?

Either one will be deterred if a few folks in cop uniforms get shot at, whether it is cops or thugs in the uniform.

The way I see it is that anybody rushing through the door without a proper warrant is a thug.
