Been watching this on TV. A prank call brought out a 60-70 man SWAT team, all in black uniforms and black helmets, toting machine guns, equipped with armored Humvees. All this to a suburban home in Nassau county NY? Who/what did they expect to oppose them? Al Quada in New York? The Symbionese Liberation Army? The Suprano's? Sure looks like over kill to me. Lucky nobody got shot.
Could it be that once the town cops got funding for a SWAT team they wanted to use it for something?
For that matter, did the BLM send all those armed men to the Bundy ranch because they were on the payroll and had nothing better to do? Should federal bureaus (except the FBI) have armed agents at all? The proper procedure for a bureaucracy to apply force to citizens is to obtain a court order, and have local law enforcement carry it out. Not to dispatch their own private pug uglies to bust heads.
