The cops can break down your door, haul you out of a sound slumber, hog-tie you and drag your derriere downtown and throw you into a cell with mother-stabbers, and father rapers, and litterers. You have to be in front of a judge w/in 24 hours to hear the charges. Subsequently, within a reasonable time you go before a judge again and the state has to present evidence that you committed a crime.

You don't even have to be Mirandized and all that's totally legit. That is, provided the cops never ask you a single question. However, after the arraignment you have the right to legal counsel.

How many times do you think that'll happen, along with the plausible occurances of citizens being beaten to a bloody pulp because they resisted arrest, before the citizens at large get their hackels up?

Cops can enter wherever, whenever, and however, but not without reason. If the information officers have is reliable and reasonable that a crime is in progress or has been comitted, they pretty much have carte blanche.

You're free to resist all you wish, just don't lament all them funerals you will be having.

I didn’t mention resisting (in the post you’re replying to).
And also, I’m fairly sure I’ll have a maximum of one funeral.
