On the other hand, if someone actually is threatening another with a gun and extradites them inside, giving them a heads up in such a manner could initiate a hostage situation. Surprise forced entry minimizes the chance of human death in such a situation since it's likely that the person doesn't have a gun constantly pointed at the victim while they're in the house.

> Surprise forced entry minimizes the chance of human death

Literally every bit of research on the topic says the exact opposite.
