You see them in T-shirts that says "POLICE" and they have a badge, handcuffs, etc. What would you do?
If you don't put your gun down, you will be shot. But, if you put your gun down, you could also be shot.
Some criminals have realized that home owners may have guns. So, they bash your door down, in the middle of the night, yelling loudly: "POLICE!". You see them and they have shirts on that has "police" in big letters. They also have badges, handcuffs etc.
How would you decide if it was the real police or not?
Everything is available on the net to copy exactly even local LEO's uniform, belt, handcuffs, shoes, etc. But the real police might be only
wearing a police T-shirt. If it is a narcotic raid, some may even be wearing masks.
LEO's have gone to the wrong house. True story: Based on a drug tip
and other information, a no knock warrent was issued. The police
bashed the door down, in the middle of the night. The elderly woman, who lived alone, was in a wheelchair. She heard her door being bashed in and there was a loud explosion and some smoke - a flash-bang.
They rush into her bedroom and she fires one shot, which missed. But
the return volley killed her. There were no drugs and they were at the wrong address. The officers swore they loudly yelled "police!". Whether they did or not, only the woman knows.
I know LEOs well enough that if they bash your door down and see you
with a gun pointed at them, as they rush into your bedroom, they are not going to let you continue holding that weapon while you ask for I.D., in fact, they will probably shoot when they see your gun.
Once again, your door crashes down and you hear shouting saying: "police.". What would you do?
