Again, ignorance is not an excuse. I don't expect police to be perfect but I do hold them to the same standards I hold myself to.
I am expected to not randomly murder folk. I hope for the same to be true of our protection force one day as well.

Seems like it would be VERY unlikely for someone to just make up a random address off the cuff and have it turn out to be a legitimate address.

Yeah, no need to bother finding out whether it's even true or not, just storm in and start shooting!

Y'know who really had "no way of knowing" what was going on in that situation? The innocent man who got killed for nothing more than opening his own front door, that's who!

This is, again, exactly what I'm talking about in terms of armchair criticism. This barely even means anything. What exactly should the police have "investigated"?

Beyond your apparent total inability to engage with the debate that's actually happening, the suggestion that I wanted an innocent man to be killed because I refuse to indulge in rabid anti-police idiocy is simply sickening.
