You try and go in straight away without knowing the situation and you have more deaths, how were they to know the building wasn't rigged with explosives? Send in the TAC and the bloke blows up the building, and then you've got multiple deaths and its becomes an even bigger shit storm.
With my knowledge of these situations and the best time to strike, I'd dare say the TAC would have probably stormed the joint around sunrise anyway as that is the time you are at your most vunerable. They handled the situation as best as they could imo given the lack of knowledge they had.
