Let this be a lesson. Cop knocks, go outside and close the door behind you. His access is now cut off and he needs a warrant after that. He actually thinks you're being nice and compliant by coming outside.

Close the door behind you!

Simple as this right here. It is incredibly easy to avoid getting your arse kicked by the police. First and best way is avoid doing things that would place yourself in a position to even have an adversarial confrontation.

Trying to slam the door on and officer that's in a place where he has a legal right to be violates that very simple first rule.

Going outside will make the officer think you're cooperating. In this case, it would have also kept his almost-certainly-drunk friend from throwing fuel on the fire by antagonizing everyone with their peanut gallery advice.
