If you shoot through a door you have NO clue if it is a threat or not. You can't shoot in a random fashion. One of the foremost cases on cops getting shot in a raid is Minnesota vs. Housely.
The police broke in to serve a search warrant and he woke up and thought it was burglars and shot and hit two cops, killing one who died later after a LONG coma. He was cleared.
A real tear jerker for all involved.
But through a door? Star wearing your underwear on backwards. You'll be doing that in prison. Tough enough when you are face to face with the jerks.
