How do you know the call didn't come in when the police came?
The police were doing their job. Dispatch says a burglary is in progress from a witness so the cops come and check it out as if a burglary is in progress. Would a normal burglary in progress yield their weapons drawn? You better believe it. It's easy to say the cops overreacted and that you were mistreated, but look at it on the cops side: they've been told that a WITNESS has seen a burglary going down in that house and to check it out. They don't know you or your friend or who lives there. All they know is someone believes a burglary is going on and they have to take precautions or something can go majorly wrong.
They were not out of line in the least bit.
