  To be fair, that guy did not look like the pinnacle of fitness. Also, was it unlocked or did they pop the handle?

  I suggest a window. Smack the corner and it crumbles. The same idea can be used when you’re stuck in a car and need to bust the window to free yourself. Corner.

  The date on that video is bogus, I saw that on the telly at least a couple of years ago.

  You would think that someone would have thought to pull a Three Stooges and grab the guy and use him as the battering ram. My guess is that the cameraman was on the phone with the people in the house and, just the right moment, said, “okay, now unlock the door!”

  These days any self respecting police department has a small, two-man battering ram for easy entry. One shot, and even the weakest users can open a locked door.

  Breaking and entering thru the window might have gotten them numerous cuts and bruises

  Also it makes them an easy target while they are attempting to climb in

  In my experience the mule kick just makes you look dumb. Metal frames can actually be a little easier to kick open, each jamb is pressed from one sheet of steel, it’s not solid. All you have to do is bend the jamb enough for the bolt to slip out of the strike plate. If the frame is wood you actually have to force the bolt through the jamb. If you want to actually break down the door, it’s not impossible for a full grown man with a good head of steam to take the entire door and frame out of the wall in one piece. My brother did that once.

  ‘head of steam’ is about right.

  Where was this teams Lockaid lock release gun? How about the department battering ram. This jackass gave who ever was in there a nice two minute head start.
