The punishment for a bad warrant shouldn't be death.
The reward for breaking into the wrong house and shooting at innocent people should not be a medal for valor either. Personally, I find the idea that police get an award for being wrong more offensive than a cop getting killed because he broke the law.

They certainly shouldn't have been awarded anything.
That doesn't change the fact that the punishment for a bad warrant shouldn't be death.
We are not talking about bad warrants, even if you think we are, we are talking about cops breaking the law and entering a home illegally. Bad warrants are not illegal.
Like I said, I would rather see cops who break the law learn that they do not have carte blanche than worry about something that no rational person actually thinks will happen.
