My right the be left alone,'to continue sleeping undisturbed. That right.

If the cops had gone to the CORRECT ADDRESS there would not have been a reason for the citizen to answer his door at 3AM with a gun in his hand for his protection (brandishing as you call it).

Either way the catalyst that set this entire Charlie Foxtrot in motion was cops at the wrong address.

Is is so abnormal for a person to answer his door at 3AM, with some form of protection? You would think professional police officers would understand that. Especially after finding out they were at the wrong place, the man with the gun at his side was a fellow LEO. But no. We have to have a couple of unprofessional chest thumpers (the kind that give good cops a bad name) trying to cover their arse and not giving a crap for a fellow police officer and war vet. That's below pathetic.
