Well like Poobah pointed out, it was their third attempt to serve the warrant. That casts a different light on it in a way, but no I really can't get used to the idea of police disguised as teens or street workers, or police swat teams, seems like overkill to me and I know I don't live it everyday and they have their own perspective. But it seems to me that this could lead to the death of an innocent person somehow. It just feels wrong.

" But it seems to me that this could lead to the death of an innocent person somehow. It just feels wrong."It shouldn't. Cooper wasn't a half wit. He refused to pay his income taxes and chased the IRS guy away at gunpoint. He knew what he was getting into, yet he did it anyway. IOW, he wasn't innocent. He knew he was a tax evader and they were going to put him in jail for it (and shooing the IRS guy at gunpoint).
