If you have ever done MOUT (Military Operations in Urbanized Terrain) training you would realize that a whole lot of stuff can go wrong entering buildings. High casualty environment even at the best of times under optimum circumstances for the assault team.
Well then SWAT should also be issued fragmentation grenades along with their flash/bangs. Lob in the grenades and save two officers!

WHat the SWAt cops should have done was pull back, call in a airstrike and then move in to mop up.
It is Oakland afterall, a city that prides itself on being thuggish. Birth place of both the Hells Angels and Black Panthers. An ARCLIGHT misson would only increase property value.
