first off, if they are currently trying to get in yelling police, you won't know if they are wearing full gear. In spite of that, in the adrenaline rush, you won't notice it anyway. You're asking to be a victim by the following news stories because criminals KNOW that alot of people will do exactly as you said you would do with someone yelling 'POLICE'.
criminals, while not highly intelligent, are not stupid. They already know that there are places where people will not be armed and they know that most people will readily surrender upon hearing people yell police as they break in to peoples homes.
I hear of at least one a week in the news pages I read.
