No, they're going into two homes, at night, without knocking, when it can be reasonably expected that any innocent civilians would be asleep. They then "stun and disorient" them and charge into their house brandishing guns. Is it so time consuming to set up a safe zone around the house and knock on the door?

Need help with anything? Have a question? PM me! I'll try my best to help you.
It was a duplex, you make it sound like they are on opposite sides of the city, they were literally right next door.
Time has nothing to do with it. You want to give a murderer time to, I dunno, arm themselves and get in a good position? And knock on the door too? Man, you are giving the murderer not only the element of surprise, but now he also has time on his side too. Not only that, you are going to have them knock on the door first?
I hope you brought enough body bags for the whole squad!
EDIT:
I advocate NKWs, but the police force (and this is in USA too remember) does not.
The only thing that would keep them alive in a fire fight would be their vests, luck, and ability to shoot the other guy first. Drawing a guy takes .4-.6 of a second (from what I have read, this is average). It takes .2 of a second to track to a target, you want to give the murderer time to shoot 3-4 cops?
