Presumably because the latter situation isn’t particularly newsworthy, and the former is. No news organization is really going to give a fig if somebody calls them up to say “The police showed up to my house last night, and politely and safely woke me and my partner and nothing of any consequence happened”. But “cops came into my house and scared the shit out of my partner and me in bed” is a great little shock story, even if there were no other bad consequences.
