The two assertions aren't mutually exclusive. The police could be denied entry (on what basis, I don't know), then gone to sit in their vehicles.

This suit also alleges that cops were stationed on Don Carlos roof. First I've heard that claim, too. It may have been made earlier, I haven't been paying THAT close of attention to details.

The number one reason that police are NOT able to force entry is the ABSENCE of a search warrant.
