>call 911 immediately and negotiate compliance over the phone
I'm with you until that part. For one thing, many SWATings result in no-knock entries - even if you're prostate and facing away, holding and manipulating a phone, and/or continuing to talk through a phone instead of responding to the verbal commands of the assault officers are both Bad Ideas imo.
Not all of them do breach and entry as the first course of action. Depending on what's been reported they may knock, they may stand out in the street and yell at you over a bullhorn, or they may try to breach the door. A lot of factors go into considering which course of action they take. The idea is to establish contact and negotiate a course of action before they try storming the house with itchy trigger fingers.
In any case, my advice does not preclude obeying orders if an officer is pointing an MP5 at you and telling you to put your hands on your head-- it's too late then, so just comply and hope for the best.
