Too bad more of these types of cop stories don't make national news.

That is correct. You will not hear that several officers forced their way into a home and took the suspect into custody with no injuries and with a Spanish surname, probably a minority. A man who was supposed to be armed and there was a claim of shots having been fired.

So we have several officers, forcefully make an entry into a home and take a minority into custody for a violent crime and do so with no injuries. No way that will even get much play in the local news, much less national. It will be mentioned and forgotten in about one day, maybe two. In fact most people will likely not know that it even happened.

It does happen thousands of times a day (by FBI stats, almost 35,000 arrests per day in the USA) and let one bad incident happen (or more likely, the accusation of a bad incident) and there will be a call for a national referendum against the police. Usually with little facts or knowledge of the law.
