Is it unreasonable to make the police give suspected drug dealers ten minutes notice of a raid, allowing the suspected drug dealers time to flush any drugs down the toilet or grab their guns and get ready to shoot it out? Ever hear of those round thingies called man-hole covers in the street?
That the defense attorney doesn't want a change of venue in this case is very powerful evidence that he knows there is no way his client is going to be convicted.
The defendant is going to have a very good civil rights case against the city/county. The widow of the cop also has a cause of action for the poor training given to her husband. It is obvious the cops screwed this up and are now trying to convict an innocent man.

Once the defendant is exonerated he needs to change his address very soon. The police will get revenge. A few years ago a young fellow here got misidentified and arrested. The charges were obviously wrongly applied soon after but the state's attorney insisted on going to trial and that judge never second guesses the state's attorney. The jury was out for a few minutes and turned him loose. The kid got questioned as a "person of interest" several times in the following 6 months and collected enough tickets to lose his license before his father decided the family needed to live in another state.

Yep, just look up Corey Maye to find out that this isn’t the first time.
If a cop dies, the ‘civilian’ must pay with his life (Maye was given the DEATH SENTENCE but that was commuted to life-—for defending his baby daughter in the middle of the night.)
Insult a cop dog, face animal cruelty charges. Act in a manner ‘not respectful’ of their authority and get tased or beaten on until you do. Perhaps stripped naked when YOU were the victim of a crime. Or dumped out of a wheelchair.
