Bye Bye Louisville

The rights and protection of the citizen should always be more important then the protection of the police.

That’s true and has to do with protocol and the war on drugs.... we do need changes in those areas.... not charging the cops with murder seems pretty obvious they are not guilty based on the evidence that we know about.
And I've not called for charging the cops, at least not for murder. But there needs to be systemic changes.

Okay, so if the BF didn't hear them identify, would he be charged with murder if he had killed one of the cops? All he knows is someone has just busted down his door. He thinks he's defending himself. So if he had killed one, would it be fair to charge him?

Depends. What kind of state laws does Kentucky have regarding individuals being able to protect their house?

It is my impression that the state follows “Castle Doctrine” so if there is reasonable proof that he did not know they were police officers and one police officer died technically per castle doctrine he could not be charged.

He should be. Did the cops force him to get wasted?

Not exactly true

Which part? And even if someone showed up yelled "Police" and started to beat down the door, how do you know they were actually cops? The best answer is simply not to break down a door except to save a life - and by the time the door is breached, the life may have been taken anyway.
 
He was welcomed there but it wasn't his home... that's where the problems came in

A guest in a home should enjoy the same protections as the owner. By definition you could be implying a child or extended family member doesn't have the same right as a parent when it comes to the castle doctrine.
