It's 3am and you're sleeping. I don't know about you, but I certainly wouldn't notice first what they were yelling, but rather that there are a lot of flash-lights and load yelling where my locked front door used to be. You could also argue that you're supposed to trust them because they have badges, but the fact of the matter is that expecting you to be reasonably aware of that is, well, unreasonable.
Go read the accounts of people who encountered this sort of situation and were lucky enough to not get killed in the process, whether they fought back or not (just jumping out of bed or daring to act surprised can get you shot here).

I also was only using the badge example to illustrate a similar situation with law enforcement where they just use stiff penalties to try and prevent what can easily be abused.
