When you grab to use as a human shield a tied civilian, after throwing him to the ground he won't have ties so you'll need to tie him again.

To me this makes sense as for now. It might be because they didn't add an animation for tied human shields yet.
A possibility would be to play a zip tie cutting sound to notify the player the zip have been cut.

This oughta be considered. It takes long enough to tie a civ and its not like having meat shield give you any real advantage. Any time you go for a shot the cops hit you with every round. 9 times out of 10 a swat will just hit the civ free from you. Now you're surrounded with a civ on the loose and gettin shot at. Not to mention how much ammo it takes for a secondary to drop 1 cop.

Common sense
If you grab a person who is tied up perhaps you should have to move significantly slower or you can do the stupid cut ties sound effect IMO you should just have a new animation because if I were a robber my human shield wouldn't have hands free just my opinion tho ..

This just feels intended to me? You're just tying them up with zip ties. The force of shoving somebody to the ground could pretty easily snap that. If it bothers people that much, maybe they could make it a perk. "Reinforced zip ties" They don't break when you shove a human shield, and they take a lot longer for rescue teams to save.

I thought this was so that they could push buttons like in Dirty Ice. You push the manager to hit the button...I mean they could hit it with their head

or maybe a temporary buff that ties hostage faster after dropping them. that way you can either decide to let him down and shoot/do the objective or use the buff to tie him right away but much quickly.

I think this might be because if you throw a tied civi into the button or the scanner they brace themselves with their hands. Could just have an untie option though, which you'd need to do to throw a civi into a button / scanner.

Retying hostages seems like one of those features that end up being boring for the game, it doesn't bring anything to the experience, and it can be avoided by making the animation of the thrown hostage landing on its side or back or something like that.
