its dark, for one, which can lead to confusion and chaos, its Detroit, with dangers lurking anywhere, just cause someone yells police in the middle of the night as they break down your door, the first reaction of the occupants may not be to hit the deck, one day someones gonna unload a shotgun unknowingly...
unless the suspect has hostages or is endangering the public safety by just being in the house, why not wait til morning and grab the guy when he leaves the house, at minimal, they could observe who's coming and going into the house, know there are kids, know what level he might be on, know who he's associating with in the house...
this was completly unnecessary....
