I was on ONE raid in the 70's where we got the wrong house based on information from a fed on a drug raid that went bad and shots fired. I held a shotgun on a family watching TV including the kids and know that feeling very well. Errors can happen, but the problem is LE doesn't pay ENOUGH when they do to teach them to stop playing cowboys.
You can't flush guns down toilets and if you have only enough drugs it will go down (which isn't easy) the cops shouldn't be there and be off doing something more productive.
