OK, good start, but does a botched raid include someone killed in crossfire when the perpetrators open fire? Or when a SWAT officer shoots through a hostage to take out a kidnapper? How about if someone is hit by the SWAT truck on it's way to a raid but miles away? Is that botched?
You still need to refine you terms. As you've done it where the police have made a basic mistake like the wrong address, I would say it is possible that criminal charges should be filed for any deaths, although not necessarily always. Certainly civil redress is appropriate under almost all circumstances.
