That's not how it works sadly, you can't just commit crimes and then just expect some sort of room service from law enforcement: "Just let me get dressed" pulls gun from the dresser Police shouldn't have to risk their life for this kind of thing >the people enforcing the law are often committing worse crimes than the supposed criminals. Source? >In 2019, the estimated number of murders in the nation was 16,425.[0] How many tens of thousands of innocent people did police kill that year?

> you can't just commit crimes Are people whose houses are raided typically convicted ahead of time?

  No, but they are typically armed. SWAT teams have strict protocols to avoid death on both sides. These "what if" questions posed by armchair SWAT commanders don't translate into the real world. Things like "just try to shoot him in the leg" and "what if she's naked" just increase bloodshed. In a life and death situation, the only consideration that's actually important is if the suspect is armed. The more conditional protocols you add, the more times something will go wrong. We don't trade lives for clothing: that isn't and can't be how it works. A simplified version of the protocol is: is he armed? If not don't shoot. If yes is his back facing you? If yes don't shoot. It get's more complicated when you consider hostages, the suspects mental health, bystanders ect. "Is he naked" has no room in the protocol. Focus is extreamly important and something tangetial to life and death can't be part of the consideration.

At least look up the stats if you are going to perpetuate the evil police narrative. There were 1020 fatal police shootings in 2020. https://www.statista.com/statistics/585152/people-shot-to-death-by-us-police-by-race/ https://www.statista.com/statistics/585152/people-shot-to-de...

    > How many tens of thousands of innocent people did police kill that year? You implied tens of thousands of innocent people are killed by police each year. The actual statistics say that police kill around 1000 people a year with no mention of guilt or innocence. Your implication is flat out wrong. The media perpetuates an idea that police are evil, murderous bastards and everybody should hate them. It is false and dangerous rhetoric. Spreading it in ignorance makes you a "useful idiot". Arm yourself with knowledge. In many cases the media is flat out lying to your face.
