But wasn't there just as great a likelihood that the person they were
really going to arrest would shoot them? If they were equally well
prepared because they assume that the apartment is that of the person
they are going to arrest, and that therefore the person in the apartment
might shoot at them, how does going to the wrong apartment get them
shot?
Let me redigest the above: if both apartments have residents who might
shoot at them, and they are prepared for the possibility of the
resident's shooting at them, how does the mistake get them shot? They
could get shot whether they were prepared or not, but does the mistake
cause the shooting?
Or is it just bad luck that the mistake took them to someone who did
shoot them, whereas the correct apartment's resident might not have?
