I'm going to vehemently disagree with that. You're taking away the police's right to defend themselves and the public by saying they can't return fire if they're fired at? I cannot get behind that.
If you want to be critical of the search warrant itself or even the way in which it was executed, fine. But there are reasons why police carry guns and taking away their ability to return fire if they're being shot at is silly.
That being said, America and their stupid guns and lack of gun laws make a lot of this violence happen in and of itself.
