At night and they probably had flashlights pointed in his face. I would be surprised if he saw their uniforms at all. Assuming they had them on. There have been plenty of home invasions where the crooks claimed to be cops. Anyone can shout ‘cop’ at night. And anyone can buy a shirt that says police on it.

This is one reason I think the state’s governor should sign off on any no-knock raid. If I came out of a dead sleep to shouting men and flashlights, I’d probably roll out of bed (a practiced maneuver) and start shooting. (My gun is always in the same place.) I’d be killed, most likely. And, if it was my house, I can assure you’d it would be their mistake. Unless they’re rounding up Freepers.
