So it's happening again . . . a couple of years ago, there was a spate of home invasions in the Houston area with bad guys impersonating police . . . it seems to me that, since this sort of thing is COMMON KNOWLEDGE and has been reported in the major media many times, then a good defense lawyer could use that to inject reasonable doubt into the prosecution of someone who shoots "real" police he thought were fakes.
Particularly if the homeowner is NOT a dope dealer or other known bad guy, and the cops hit the wrong address by mistake.
(Of course, if there are 6 marked units with lights flashing outside, and the officers are all uniformed and present a valid warrant, this type of defense won't fly very far.)
