There is a lot to be said for both sides of the issue. I do and have always believed the use of deadly force is sometimes needed. I also believe that the use of force by law enforcement is getting out of hand. It seems they are way to fast to knock down your door and come in ready for a fight in the middle of the night. If they happen to have the wrong adress (happens a lot) you get an apology from the department (if you didn't get shot while trying to defend yourself in the middle of the night from an attack) and you will most likely have to sue the department to be reimbursed for the damage to your home.
I don't think any officer should be harmed while doing his/her job justly but if not you should have equal right to defend yourself against them.
