Search was excessive

Referencing the article printed in the Niles Daily Star on May 1, 2015, about the execution of a search warrant in Niles, this was an overkill.
The person they were after, what kind of weapon or weapons did they expect them to have? A Russian tank or Russian megs, U.S. fighter jet or a bazooka?
If the person had come out with his or her hands up, and they say, they came out shooting?
Who would have known the difference? There definitely would not have been any evidence of how it really happened. In my observation, this was a waste of taxpayers’ money. How many other suspects do you go after with this kind of equipment?
In all reality, I think this is why law enforcement and the communities across the land have become indifferent with each other.
In my estimation, this was unnecessary and overkill.
