> Is the bad guy a couple of cops who we hold to the impossible standard of not returning fire?

- People in plain clothes

- Knock down a door to an apartment

- In a country where people legally own guns

- In a country where "If they (robbers/burglars) come for me, they will get shot" is a thing

how is it an impossible standard to expect that someone will shoot at them for essentially being burglars?

It's an impossible standard to expect police officers to not defend themselves.

There is nothing impossible about banning no-knock warrants so this situation can't happen.
