Generally, our troops, including the special ops guys, use what we call "cordon and knock": they set up a perimeter around the target location to keep people from moving in or out,and then announce their presence and give the target an opportunity... Must really suck to be the guy that get to " knock"

There can be a substantial difference between the two scenarios though. The military might knock and stand back and give the subject a chance to come out. With police matters, perishable evidence may have to be seized and a quick entry needs to be accomplished.

Even worse, when you try to defend yourself, you become a criminal, whether you live or not.
