    Raids are usually done in early morning when people are likely sleeping, and everyone gets in position quietly (people at all possible entrances/exits), then many of the raiders come in and try to secure all rooms before people realize what’s going on. They also come in overwhelming force, and most people would rather take their chances of surviving, rather than ensuring the death of themselves and increasing the likelihood of their loved ones being murdered as well.

    I’ve lived in a place that was raided by police once, and I was awoken by a guy with an AR-15 standing over me yelling (doors were unlocked, so they all just came in quickly, and I guess pretty quietly; but I’m a very heavy sleeper, so IDK).
