You've obviously NEVER had any experience with this type of pyrotechnic. A "special effects grenade" this is not. It doesn't elicit a sense of awe or excitement, it's basically a quarter stick of dynamite the forces the blast through holes in a reuseable metal cylinder. If it didn't blind and deafen the target, it wouldn't be useful. I've seen GROWN MEN wet their pants when something like this (grenade simulator) went off 10 feet from them.

Yes, it would be nice if people didn't need recreational drugs (he says as he's typing this while downing his third beer), but it happens. Innocent people shouldn't have to DIE because somebody TOTALLY UNRELATED to them NEXT DOOR used drugs.

there was a drug raid in town a few years back, one was the owner of a local car dealership, he was providing cars to other dealers to use to go to NYC and pick up theirs and his drugs.

Here is how they picked him up the day they did the raids. They knocked on his door and arrested him and let him get dressed.

For the others they knocked doors down threw flash bombs slammed people to the floors.

Recreational drugs... = Dealing, using and addiction, there is more to that than you are attempting to water down.

I've grown up in NY and I've seen that level of thing go off.

The other three times that department made that kind of mistake it was not with a person with a pre-existing heart condition so there isn't death everywhere by accident.

They have been successful all but 4 times out of 1900, that is a success rate of 99.98% without going to the wrong place and 99.995% of the time without accidental death.

For humans, they do pretty good. There is no major abuse by officers here at all.
