In my neighborhood it's usually "Step back from the door and put your 
hands where I can see them" or, on one occasion, "Show me a badge and 
an empty hand or I'm gonna need a new door...." (We'd been having a 
problem with imitation cops doing invasion robberies in the wee 
smalls, so the latter was accompanied by a 12-gauge being racked 
hard...  when I opened the door no one was there....)

Wish I could get the landlord to fix the landing light....
