You really want to put a stop to this kind of mistake? I mean really really? Okay, take this case right here and charge the person who established the policy for such raids on minimal evidence, the person who authorized the raid, the person who planned the raid, and the officer who supervised and directed the raid...charge those 4 people with first degree murder and try them. Convict them. Do this a few times and careless raids will decrease and "probably cause" will again require more than "uhm, maybe" or "I smell chemicals, but I'm not a chemist." If they have no videos or surveillance proving drug activity and sales, this was all guesswork. You can stop it by holding the responsible conspiring parties responsible for bad police work on the direction by their policies. .
No, you don't charge the officers who fired the deadly shots, they were doing as directed by the first 4 schmucks who set the whole fuck up in motion.
We're seeing way too much of this and part of it has to be because police departments are being given military equipment and weapons without the training and discipline necessary to use them properly.
My tin foil hat tells me that our local police departments are slowly being "federalized" by this push for militarization. Create a dependency and you establish control. Just saying...
