One of these days a SWAT member is going to get one right between the headlights from a homeowner who believes their house is under assault by home-invasion robbers.
I don't know what a distict attorney would do to the poor bastard who unwittingly kills a cop under such circumstances, but I certainly have my suspicions.
If that happened the DA wouldn't have to worry, the occupants would all be dead.
Why are cops who raid a home in a manner which is not even facially justified by a warrant regarded as anything other than home-invasion robbers?
There was a case in Malibu several years back... Man woke up to hear people busting into his house. He pulled out his gun and went to see what was happening... The intruders wwere cops, serving a warrant based on a bogus claim that there was pot at the house. Cops shot the homeowner dead.
LA District Attorney refused to prosecute. The Ventura District Attorney investigated and determined that the cops raided the home out of a desire to seize it for cash (police departments get to keep the proceeds from drug related seizures)
"Sorry citizen ...thought you were someone else."
Sorry, cops have never heard of the word "citizen." You're a "subject"
"I don't know what a distict attorney would do to the poor bastard who unwittingly kills a cop under such circumstances, but I certainly have my suspicions."
The lefties would have a field day, claiming this to be a perfect example of why citizens should not bear arms.
