This is no different than any situation where one legally draws a weapon in self-defense or defense of others, be they family, friends cops, firefighters, or strangers. Bad things happen sometimes but the vast majority of self-defense/defense of others situations are correctly sorted out by the police.

Dealing with the arrival of law enforcement during a defensive gun use is certainly a concern. Before the DGU starts, I'm also concerned about the unknowns: what is really going on, are there more bad guys, are they armed, etc.
