It seems to me the cops would have given away any tactical advantage they may have when they "loudly commanded” they be let inside".

Not that I deny the Mitchell's have a case, but I suspect there must be something else to this.

Yes - sending a clear message to other people who refuse to assist them in the future.

Congratulations, cop. You figured out that the Constitution exists---by design---to make your job harder.
