When you are a group of people who are empowered to use deadly force the moment you feel your life is threatened even when you are the ones who created the threatening situation, and you choose to bash in someone’s door at 5:30 AM, “to conduct a search warrant for drug paraphernalia and marijuana possession” you have to know that you are likely going to be shooting someone that day, because if someone awakens to their door bashing in at that time of day, regardless of whether they have anything to be found by the cops, the fact that some cops “announced” themselves unheard while they were sleeping isn’t going to stop many people from arming themselves and confronting the threat.
