"DEA" raids wrong Marysville home

"Where does it say you have to anounce your presence?"

"I think in many ways I am still in a combat/military mindset."

These two statements are why you should not be involved in law enforcement.

Another consideration there, is that the United States is governed of the People, by the People and for the People. The People literally are the state. The definition of Treason (18USC2381) includes making war upon the United States. At what point does the nifty toys and militarized tactics the police employ rise to the level of making war?

Well. when mistakes happen frequently enough it becomes a system in injustice rather than justice. When standard practices and policies unnecessarily increase the chance for collateral damage, then it becomes a system of injustice.

When a LEO has to break his oath in order to carry out the orders of his superiors, or when standard practices of the entire department break that oath, there's a serious problem. At what point, in the course of taking actions that are absolutely forbidden by the highest law in the land, does a LEO (or anyone) lose the protection of the law and become an outlaw?

When an agent of government can go further down that path thank any "mere" citizen before becoming an outlaw, your democracy is dying. When there is no such point for such an agent, then the republic is already dead.
