Police make mistakes. They go to the wrong house. They draw down on the wrong person. They do not announce themselves.
The cases are rare, but they exist.
True, but how many of those rare cases was the shooter already a convicted felon? I was talking about your everyday, run of the mill criminal, and/or gang-banger.
E.G. Gangsters of the 1930’s pleading that when they were caught by the G-men. Provided they didn’t die in the shoot-out such as Bonnie & Clyde and several others.
