These people funding all this need to be brought to justice.

O-line, not sure what you charge a cop for in this situation. Let's say you were assigned to the squad that had a LEGAL no-knock warrant. Let's say everything you say is true (which I don't think is the case). You bust in the room, and a person fires their gun at you. You and your friends return fire, then find out you killed a drug dealer's girlfriend in the exchange. You followed orders to arrest a dangerous criminal who attacked you, but there was an accidental casualty. Are you now a criminal? How long should you go to jail? Where is the criminal intent? This sort of stuff happens.

It is impossible to make perfect decisions in these heat-of-the-moment encounters that threaten a life. The same justification you use to explain why the drug dealer shot at the cops is the exact same reasoning that went through their heads. If we have to blame a party, how about putting it on the person that is profiting from breaking the law?
