Then again, perhaps he did nothing wrong at all:
Derek Copp Settles | The Agitator
Derek Copp, the Grand Valley State student shot during a 2009 drug raid, has settled with the city for $144,000.
Police were serving a marijuana warrant (Kopp’s roommate was actually their suspect) when they broke into Kopp’s apartment. Deputy Ryan Huizenga’s gun “accidentally discharged,” striking Kopp in the chest. Kopp was unarmed. Huizinga was convicted of a misdemeanor for reckless discharge of a weapon, but is back on the force.
Huizinga’s lawyer initially blamed Kopp for “startling” Huizinga as Huizinga and the other officers were breaking into Kopp’s home.

Another no knock raid gone wrong?

I don't like to see criminals getting rewarded for breaking the law,but it would be on par with getting pulled over by an LEO for a traffic offense and Officer approaching with gun pointed because of movement in the vehicle,then due to poor trigger discipline you get shot.

Would take really big ones to have the nerve to kick someones door in and then claim that they startled you.Huizinga’s lawyer initially blamed Kopp for “startling” Huizinga as Huizinga and the other officers were breaking into Kopp’s home.

Good example of what it might cost one of us if we were to shoot someone unintentionally. Thanks for the data.

Ideally, if rules #2, 3 and 4 are strictly observed, then this should not happen.
