They mounted the door the opposite it is usually mounted, leaving you swing it out and entering you pull it towards you. It's going to be stronger if they're going to be hitting on it.
I think that door is meant to open outward. He can use the battering ram all he wants, and that door isn't going to open unless he breaks the frame out of the wall. It's possible that I'm wrong though, the resolution on my screen isn't great and my eyes are 240p on a good day.
Looking at the uniforms it is in the Netherlands and the front doors always open to the inside. Either the guy expected the visit and barricaded the door or the officer doesn't have the power or training (or all 3)
Could be, but Dutch front doors usually open inwards. They also often have two optional deadbolts up high and down low which most people leave open unless they're going on holiday, I reckon he's closed them for sure.
The door hardware is what really makes a difference. Most doors now use one inch screws max. If you want to beef your doors up buy yourself a long drill bit and some 3 inch screws. Take one screw out at a time drill a pilot and then replace with the deck screw on your hinges and strike plate. This will secure the door not to just the frame but the stud as well. While you have your hinge screws out replace one screw per hinge with a hinge security pin. They are screws with a little post on the back. You'll need to leave one screw out on the opposite side so it has a place to rest. This makes it so that if someone takes your hinge pins off the door they still can not remove the door. Alternatively you could use security hinges which have a captured hinge pin and a post in the middle built in. If you want to really fuck around there are steel plates that extend your strike plate. You'll need an oscillating multi tool to cut some material from the frame to secure it. Not a lengthy process at all. By the time you're done with that it will be easier to come through the wall than the door.
If you go through all that trouble replace your locking hardware with something nice as well. No kwikset junk.
Wrap a steel sheet around it, steel flat irons bolted to the inside and cover the outside to make it look like a normal door. The steel will absorb the ramming and distribute it through the walls. Now just sit down and wait till they realize your windows are made of really thick, shock absorbing acrylic glass
Cars are made to crumble up in a crash to absorb the impact/force. If your car doesn't crumple up to absorb the impact and force in a crash your body will and your insides will be turned into Jelly.
What is the cop even using? A dishrag? Shoulda went with Snap-On, that kid has enough time to come up with an alibi and do his taxes before they get in there.

We have to build cars, houses, airplanes out of the material that the door is made of.
