My respect to the police officers, it's not easy to maintain to maintain order and executing a warrant can make this happen. It's a hard work.

The good news is that the injured officers will make a full recovery. The suspect preferred to die than surrender; wrong choice on his part. The police put their lives on the line to ensure that citizen live in a crime free society. No compensation is enough for the hardworking men and women in the police force.
