I don't know, except maybe to stop these sneak attacks unless absolutely necessary to save lives or prevent someone from bodily harm.
Perhaps the criminal element is used to being under scrutiny and maybe even expects a raid once in a while. My life is rather boring and I am engaged in no criminal activity so if some people came crashing into my house yelling "police", I would not immediately believe them. The last thing on my mind would be that the police find it necessary to break in.
It is ironic that the people most likely to doubt that the intruders are really the police are law abiding citizens who have nothing to hide. I guess from the attackers' point of view it makes little difference when they come crashing in since a gun is a gun.
Edit: I will have to modify my statement above about never engaging in criminal activity. After reading the reference to the Sal Culosi case where he was accidently killed by a SWAT team member while being served a warrant for gambling activity, I realize that several times in the past I have bet on Ohio State football games. Also I am guilty of sometimes buying a square on tavern Super Bowl pools.
