If a FLEO had killed this guy with a negligent discharge to the head, what do you want to bet the scene would have been arranged to "prove" he was drawing a gun at the least?

You are of course correct and any witnesses who would say anything else would have been killed in the gunfire. But given a review of what went wrong on this raid I am certain these agents will be retrained so that the accidental discharge becomes more certain.

Yeah, they really screwed the pooch by gaining bad PR for the BATFags instead of just killing him and setting the house on fire.

Then they could have "found" grenades and "bomb making literature" among the ashes to seal it.
