Imagine being so bad at your job that you don’t just raid the wrong house next door, but on a different street. People should lose their jobs for shit like that. Completely irresponsible.

Police officers are not expected to know the law... and now they won't be expected to read either!
Perfect time for people to stick up on any weapon they can use for self defense and most likely shooting lessons/practice. Self defense if you shoot them in the head. Don't care what the law says.
Cop was running away from you? No problem, cops do it all the time.
Afraid for your life because the cop sneezed? No problem, cops are always afraid and shoot people because they're scared.
See something shiny? Well, guess you have to shoot them, could have been a gun.
According to cops, these are all reasonable excuses for lethal force.
Good for Goose. Good for gander.
^this is not an endorsement nor incitement nor an expression of intent, simply an observation, of reality. And, as commenter below mentions, results of any act of the above will vary. But, there's a reason adages like "those who live by the sword..." exist.^
Your mileage will vary
Thanks. Added a little footnote.
This is a ridiculous take.
If a swat team comes into your house, shooting at them is absolutely not going to lead to a better outcome.
Oh no doubt at first, but if it becomes more common I think you will see the rate of this nonsense drasticly decrease. The question is, what are you willing to die for?
