Unfortunately the disorientation is a frequent goal in police procedures. They dont want you calm and thinking clearly, they want you in a panic and unable to muster any practical resistance.

But then you have people who have trained for that. Whether theyre active or ex military/LEO, firearm enthusiasts, used to a dangerous neighborhood, or red cap gun nuts. Thats when situations like this occur.

Again, no defense of the situation, just discussion. I think there needs to be sweeping reform for law enforcement, and would support disarming the average cop (and keeping citizens armed).

It still doesn't make sense to me how they'd think it's any safer to act like a ding dong ditcher when someone asks who it is before busting their door down.

I'd think most people with weapons, whether they're guilty of a crime or not, would be prepared to defend themselves from an unknown intruder. Imaging myself in that scenario and I had a gun, I'd be ready to shoot when the door flung open if I didn't know it was the cops.
