Several rounds of knocks, then shatter the window, “this is your chance to get out now or we’re going to drag you out.” For those who don’t know, police don’t, like, smash windows with sledgehammers. They have these diamond-tipped pens that shatter the glass with a light touch.

Thanks for the precision on how they smashed windows because I saw one doing it and I couldn't understand why the window shattered like this, the police officer had barely touched it.

Spring loaded center punch, or automatic center punch. You push it down and it snaps to leave a mark or break a window. 5-10 bucks at Harbor Freight.
