You're asking how the police should have realistically been expected to respond, but in asking this, you're taking their no-knock raid presence for granted. No-knock raids are the problem.

So-called price gouging means the supply of some good has suddenly decreased, or the demand for it has suddenly increased, and the government doesn't want market prices to reflect this change.
