But let us not lose sight of the fact that the good guys won this round.

LOL, I would see it as a victory legally, but a Pyrrhic victory politically. If five guys were there and one or two had weapons, it would have been perfect. The presence of mixed group helps communicate the "normalcy" of the circumstances leading to a LEO response that would then be perceived justifiably as disproportionate.

You do think tactically. I'm rather impressed.
