With all the new equipment and training, OF COURSE, they want to use it. Look out folks!
How long until we see the full storm trooper uniform in regular use?

They plant the seeds of a future citizens revolt.

19 times out of 20 these situations could be handled by stopping the suspect coming out of work or the grocery store with no loss of life... Proving that these cops are raiding for the thrill and feeling of power, and to intimidate the people.
I think you are right.
The Davidian raid is proof. DOJ needed publicity in support of the perennial D.C. budget drills, so they conducted a massive raid rather than make a low key arrest while their target was out for his morning jog.
The blue guns are a dead give away.
Making a big splash in the media pushing for a bigger budget and more gun control
Our police forces need:
More ‘Andy Taylors’
Fewer ‘Barney Fifes’
and absolutely NO ‘Rambos’
But the feds decided to send a heavily armed SWAT-like team to his home to hammer on his door and initiate an 'incident' so as to justify using overwhelming force.
Imagine how the outcome would have differed if they had simply used a little common sense and reason.
Within ten years if that long.
A couple of weeks ago, "they" flew 150 Fibbie snipers out to Idaho to snuff out one dude on the spur of the moment. How much do you think that cost for last-minute airline tickets? They were PRACTICING for the "future citizens revolt" - on YOUR dime.
They couldn't care less about a "future citizens revolt". They'll spend WHATEVER it takes to murder resisters.
Judging from how the majority of voters voted in 2008 and 2012, I would have to answer, yes it is.
There are a couple/several of “barricaded” men incidents per year in my area, and they often seem to end with the man in question dead. I wonder WHY? Why was his home attacked, why was he killed? Local news rarely answers or even asks these questions. It just seems a way to make the entire population victims of a kind of Stockholm Syndrome.
On many issues, I do not agree with Libertarians. However, this is one of the few where I do. Only in extreme circumstances should lawmen (we used to call them “peace officers”) use military tactics and equipment.
