With all do respect Sturtl, I feel you are really jumping the gun here and making quit a few assumptions.

We have no idea what the situation was, or what this guy did, or what he was doing. I will say this though, if it warranted having 8 cops, and having them have to break in his door, I am pretty sure it wasn't for a minor traffic infraction. I'm sure they had plenty of justification in doing what they did and its pretty easy for us to sit behind our computers and play Monday morning quarter back. But I'm pretty sure they did what they felt was right at the time, LEO's dont just go around willy nilly knocking in doors for a bowl of Cheerios.

This guy did something that warranted excessive force.
