The unfortunate dead guy's only real option was submission.
They came through the door amped-up and ready to shoot.
It was almost if they were hopeful for resistance, even if they had to convince themselves of it.

Maybe 5 seconds would have saved this guy’s life, maybe not. Given the option - I’ll go with the chance at an extra 5 seconds to drop and move away.

I always heard that the best way to deal with SWAT would be to run and regroup. Hoping their gear would weigh them down enough to give me the advantage. They look like they are built to stand and fight in close quarters - not chase. They’d get a lot more worn out sprinting 30 yards than I would. They have to consider each others positions - I would know that whatever moved was out to get me. This could be a wrong assumption- but it’s what I’ve always heard.

This guy was most likely dead from the outset. Still, 5 seconds was a lot more than he got.

No knoxks are total crap unless its an active hostage situation imho.
