So, noise and commotion outside the house for five seconds, one second between front door kicked in and bewildered resident murdered by trigger happy coward, firing from the front door to the hallway, never having given his victim any chance whatsoever to figure out just what the hell was going on, much less comply with any orders. Murderous, cowardly scum hiding behind a badge and some thin fukking blue line. Right here in America. Who woulda thunk?

Right On Brother!
The Trigger Happy Coward (point man) lost focus/failed to properly assess the threat and respond accordingly. And now another innocent American citizen is dead.
Why even shout "Freeze" or "get down" if you are unwilling to give the respondent adequate time to process the command and to comply or not comply?
The real question is, was the Trigger Happy Coward determined to kill (murderous) the first subject who presented himself or was he simply such a chicken schit (cowardly scum) that he fired without provocation simply to save his own skin? And did he do it with the knowledge that he would be shielded (behind a badge/thin fukking blue line) by some despicable supreme court case law that he knew would grant him immunity/impunity???
Determine which of the above holds true or most true and from that we can deduce the most appropriate penalty. (murder, pre-meditated murder, murder under the color of authority, but murder, no matter how you look at it).
Land of the free, home of the dead. All in the name of "The war on drugs."
