Do you also approve of the method used to deal with the Branch Davidians?
The use of a SWAT team, and an early-morning forced entry into a civilian's home, in a case where a person is not even suspected of a violent crime is completely out of proportion and cannot be justified. The actions of the police officers did far more damage than taking no action at all would have - there was no violence at all except for the police violence.
Murder charges are appropriate.

What about the action of the perp? He is the one who failed to comply with a lawful order. He chose to go for a gun and he chose to engage in the sale of illicit drugs. Come on, this person made poor choices not the Police.
