I'm not super convinced that we can call something like that as "shit happens." in the US "shit" like this happens where cops wrongly raid someone's house and someone often dies because of of this. Though, I think it may be an example of corrective mechanisms not working, but this shouldn't have even happened once.
In Germany, police killing innocent people in house raids is a very rare occurrence, I can't remember a case but of course it's possible that it happened.
So maybe Americans should worry about their own business and not tell a country with a much longer history what is best for them?
It's not like the raids in the US because there are less guns around. So risk of someone dying because of a house search are pretty low (supported by police death numbers). This would be more about privacy violations and unnecessary chicanery.

As an European, this attitude is absolutely fucking shocking.
Police force their way into my home without excellent cause to do so? I'd want someone executed. It would be unforgivable.
It has nothing to do with the guns, but with the absolutely gross violation of the most basic rights codified by the ECHR.

Which is actually worse than the typical American shooting. US cops do not typically go to the scene planning to murder someone, in this case the German cops very much knowingly went to harass someone for calling the German interior minister a prick. It is absolutely egregious premeditated harassment.
German minister of interior, the guy in charge of the police, sending the cops to harass people for calling him a prick. Even the current US admin is not so thin-skinned.
It would benefit you to read the applicable laws, keyword "Beleidigung".
