Like others have stated, I Back the Blue and I'd be the first guy out of the vehicle if I happened to roll up on a LEO in need of assistance. That being said, I'm interested to get some LEO thoughts on this part.
To put it in perspective, my wife is a L&D nurse. In Texas, she can be sued for malpractice up to 14 years after the birth of a child that was her patient. Doesn't matter if it's in good faith or not.Third, if and when police do kill or injure innocent homeowners, they should be stripped of qualified immunity — even when the homeowner is armed. There are circumstances where it would improper to file criminal charges against an officer who makes a good-faith mistake and finds himself making an immediate life-or-death situation, but when the mistake is his, then he should face strict liability for all the harm he causes.
Someone explain to me why this should be different for a LEO who has (wrongly or mistakenly) raided the home of a person who has done nothing criminal or illegal, especially when that person ends up hospitalized or dead due to LEO mistakes.
