I'm just reminding you that if you shoot a cop who has announced himself while executing a warrant, you'd better be able to convince a judge that you reasonably believed him to not be a cop, even if he didn't give you a lot of time to think about it before crashing the door.

Annoucing on the record in a public forum that you've already decided to shoot first certainly won't help your case.
