Suspected based on what? Did they have a warrant for the arrest of the two people they killed or just a warrant to search the property?
I assume they tried to present the warrant in a peaceful manner and give the occupants of the house a chance to cooperate voluntarily? I assume the officer that entered the property was properly and easily identified as a police officer and could not possibly have been misidentified as a home invader? Of course we pretty much know the answer to both these questions.

I wonder if these kinds of incidents would decrease if law enforcement would do things a little more smartly, and a little less Terminator.
In Waco, David Koresh went to the Post Office daily to pick up his mail. Why didn’t the feds just politely walk up to him, serve a warrant, and be done with it?
I guess it’s more fun to terrorize people for weeks, then burn them alive?
These people had to leave home sometime.These big miltary-esque productions a la Storm troopers are costing lives, IMHO.
