Minneapolis: Medals for Fuckups

Let's say that at the Indy 500, a professional driver turns his car 180 degrees and, throwing all prudence to the wind, deliberately completes his laps by driving in the wrong direction, endangering his own life and the lives of all others on the track. Will he get a medal or a ban from professional racing?

Now we move from the real world to a bizarre alternate reality called copworld. Say that a team of SWAT officers raids the wrong house without knocking, and fires multiple times at the wholly innocent homeowner while he defends his family, as he has every reason to believe that the nighttime marauders are armed robbers. Does the SWAT team leader get fired or feted? Do the cowboys under his command get disciplined, or do they get medals pinned to their chests?

No doubt, you can guess the answer.
