This happens in the US every now and then. Unfortunately for us civilians in America, US cops are generally insulated by qualified immunity. When they are acting as official agents of the jurisdictions, they are rarely personally responsible for any unintentional harm or financial loss caused during their duties. They can blow up someone's home to get to a hostage taker and not be held liable. It's also worth considering the police officers in these terrible scenarios have to live with mistakenly shooting an innocent person for their rest of their lives... I think only a psychopath wouldn't constantly think about it. Law enforcement agencies (LEAs) and training officers need to teach caution, patience, and double-checking details before reacting to balance the extremes of inaction vs. taking no risks and shooting first/answering no questions later. There ought to be nationwide policing standards, accreditation, and police officer insurance, and community-led policing.. rather than being mostly a law unto themselves. https://www.npr.org/2019/10/30/774788611/police-owe-nothing-to-man-whose-home-they-blew-up-appeals-court-says https://www.npr.org/2019/10/30/774788611/police-owe-nothing-...
