Can police force entry based on a phone call alone? Seems odd to me that the video begins after the door was already opened. The shooting itself will be legally justified as she pointed a gun at them, but if they broke in the family may have a case.

If you are concerned for someone's well-being, go check on them or call a friend to go check. Don't call the government.

Yep. They say it gives them probable cause and I'm sure most courts would back them up unfortunately.

Probable cause requires clear, articulable evidence observed directly by the officer. I'm not disagreeing with you that government courts will protect their government employees. But the 4th amendment and privacy rights should never be denied for hearsay.
