As for the translation problem...if they shouted "POLICE", I think most non-english speaking people living in the US would know what that means.
As for those saying it's good that they didn't shoot him, I think it's terrifying that they are such lousy marskmen. (even though I am happy that the guy survived).

They are trained only as well as the money they are provided with and if they took the time to give a deep background search on every subject they would really be useless. Imagine a bomb threat is called in by a neighbor who has heard strange noises from the house next door and they swear they saw something resembling explosives. Instead of charging in to make sure they run a background check examining the neighbor and the next day while they're running their checks boom a neighborhood is gone.
F.W.I. swat stands for special weapons and tactics they can shoot.
