You need to define your terms much better. What constitutes a "botched" raid? What are the circumstances for the raid? What are the charges? Would I accept 5 deaths to stop a terrorist cell that was going to blow up Texas Stadium during a game? Probably. Would I accept 1 serving a warrant on a non-violent offender? Much less likely.
All of the possible deaths are circumstantial and some might be acceptable and some might not. In any event, accidential deaths tend to be unavoidable by their very definition. Avoidable deaths are not and those should be prosecuted.
