So, after the LCS basically turned everyone liberal, the majority of house and senate seats were taken by elite liberals and liberals, and all the justices turned elite liberal, my leader basically went into retirement. He only did illegal things when he needed money or when the public's opinion turned less than liberal. He lived in an apartment that only ever got up to four percent heat, which is pretty good. However, recently his other apartment filled with people who only have committed crimes as severe as vandalism got raided. The place is filled with weapons, but none of them know how to use them. First of all, why did they raid a safehouse filled with innocent people, and second of all, how am I going to get them out alive?

I have no idea how you'll survive that. I really don't know why that would happen. If laws were too conservative, I could understand it. But when law and public opinion are both liberal, that kind of thing shouldn't happen, short of "deus ex conservativa".

Luckily enough my leader's not in there, and none of them have particularly amazing stats. If/when they do die, I can replace them. Still, I'd like to avoid liberal deaths.

Could I at least edit the armor files and have my fashion designer make a bunch of super-togas so they could just tank through the SWAT officers?

Alfie Stone, professional bad ass, will take revenge for the lives of the innocent. One-man rampage time!

"Want to hear something disturbing?"
"What?"
"A bunch of innocent civilians convicted of vandalism were just gunned down by highly trained SWAT officers."
"That *is* disturbing! Is there anything I can do?"

If you're getting raided by SWAT officers, you can just surrender. Corporate mercenaries, CCS vigilantes and the CIA will just shoot everyone, but the cops will happily take your liberals in as prisoners instead of corpses if you give them the chance. If they're innocent (or mostly innocent), and the public opinion is liberal, you shouldn't even have any difficulties with the ensuing trial. You'll lose all the stuff in the house, but most things are easy enough to replace.

Oh. Woops.

That means a bunch of my guys just got killed for no reason, unless I can somehow get the save back.

Characters guilty of vandalism are criminals, they're not innocent.  So the cops raided a house filled with criminals. 
Remember, LCS is a horrible place where, if the Conservatives had their way, vandals would be shot on sight (and are if you play Conservative Nightmare mode, or get laws to such a point in a normal game).

Also, the more characters you have in a building, the easier it is for the cops to see that you've got a safehouse full of criminals.  Apartment buildings are the worse for housing a lot of liberals.  See the "secrecy" indicator next to the heat?  It typically drops to around zero once you have a full squad of liberals stationed there.

Buy a flag.  It'll help, but generally you don't want large groups of people stationed in an apartment building.  Use an abandoned building instead.  They start with less secrecy than the apartments, but they don't drop as fast from having a large groups stationed there.

The thing is, they're already dead and I won that game.

Best response ever.  Congratulations on beating LCS.  My post was just an explanation of game mechanics, in case you or anyone else was curious.
