Hypothetical:
What happens to LE when they hit a house, wrongly and illegally, that has a highly trained combat veteran who does not think about his personal safety but gaining the tactical advantage with the use of superior tactics, equipment, skill and firepower? More of these heroes are coming home everyday.
What will be ironic is that the tragic loss of life experienced by the invading LEOs at the hands of a law abiding citizen, rightfully defending his home, will be found to have been justified, and the cops will be shown to have broken the law. It will be a lose-lose situation.

Only bad for LE given their anti-citizen and anti-liberty proclivities.
When the police hit the wrong house, they don't normally know it.
Don't normally know it???? Do you mean that cops sometimes knowingly hit the wrong house. Do you mean that the cops know they are going to hit the wrong house and then hit the house anyway?
This is all ya need to know folks.
IF, and after your statement, a
BIG IF, the cops do not know 'it', then incompetence is no excuse. Due diligence Mr. Grayowl....due diligence. Most 1st graders know this concept, it is called
homework. Taking a few extra minutes to ensure you got your work done correctly. Because, not checking your work results in undesirable consequences. Though, I have my doubts on whether or not cops are interested in any consequences considering cops can murder innocent citizens and not be subject to any meaningful consequences....Seattle PD comes to mind.
Some other cop tosses a no-knock warrant your way and you just saddle-up, hit the road and go full tactical. Because you KNOW that a mistake by a fellow cop is impossible. Because the clerk, who typed up the no-knock warrant would never make a mistake. Because every 'informant' is 100% reliable 100% of the time.
Residents using force to protect their home end up loosing. It is better to allow the police to gain control and then sort it out in a safe environment.
Safe for who? Certainly not the homeowner. Time and again you and your fellow thugs have been documented to not give a single seconds thought to the innocent residents whose homes you invade. As you so nonchalantly admit below, intruders you truly are.
Intruding officers need to be courteous and lose the arrogant attitude. When a mistake has been made, apologize and buy them a new door. This law is going to get someone killed.
New door? Really? That is all it takes, as far as you are concerned, to make things right for your illegal actions, a new door. No consideration of the physical and emotional trauma inflicted upon the residents for your illegal actions? No consideration for the life long emotional scars inflicted upon any children? No consideration for the new realization by the residents that cops can be more of a threat than the criminals? No consideration for the distrust of cops in that neighborhood?
No Mr. Grayowl, your concerns for this 'bad bill' is self serving, anti-citizen and anti-liberty. I see you for who and what you are. A thug cop.
