That's a suggestion for general safety of not hitting people behind your target in a controlled firefight. If you are approaching a closed room in a drug raid after a 5 minute self announcement, walking down the hallway, and they start firing at you from behind the door, you either (a) decide you can turn around and outraced bullets coming at you down the hallway, or (b) assume the shooter is willing to start a firefight behind the door, meaning they made a likely decision nothing in the room is worth avoiding starting said firefight.
Police safety matters. Police lives matter. Don't make up impossible standards and ignore reasonable situational assumptions just to apply anti cop vague assertions of wrong doing. I see this shit CONSTANTLY and it always looks like libtard thinking.
So pounding on the front door and yelling "POLICE! OPEN UP!" is unacceptable? That is the door they announced at for 5 minutes. Once they busted in, he shot through the closed bedroom door down the hallway as they approached the bedroom at the end.

I don’t think they should have been pounding on he door. Either knock like a reasonable person or take the door off its hinges.
