Yep, that one is a clear abuse of the authority of the warrant when they take a battering ram to a door at the rear of the house when the owner clearly has the keys and identifies herself to the officers at the front of the house.

You see that in transition neighborhoods where the yuppies buy in places that used to be bad, and the cops and courts see a sharp drop in "business" but they are the same doorkicker breed and mentality that did crime suppression during the crack war years. They long for the good ol days, figure everyone is lying to them and or on dope, trying to scam something or another, so their job is to go into the neighborhood and suppress it.

Lacking serious crime, they create crime, but people get wise to that, so they come up with this new "war on guns" where they can get a dope dealer who quit the dope business but probably still keeps a gun or two around for protection. Then some incident happens like this with the yuppies and change comes with some lawsuits and social retaliation. Usually it means some serious messages from local real estate interests who are making bank from the stuff going up in value and the rehab house flippers who flip houses every year or two.

Same sorts of things were happening in much of Portland until very recently. In fact, they are even changing the signs on the "Tactical command operations center" police station to something more socially acceptable. No more rifle racks in the cars, more bike patrols, less squad cars, more of those unmarked cars. No more of the armored vehicles being used to serve search warrants either.
