I think it's obvious from the use of force by the police they are looking for a fraud\car thief suspect. Wether or not that is justified would be based on the facts\rumors the police have on the case. I concur, it seems like "over kill", but then again, I don't know what evidence they have.

I would guess it's fairly substantial, or a simple "invite" would have sufficed. Of course with a large "drag net" (more than one person involved) some innocent civilians will get caught up, which is really a drag! I hope the police double checked their "source" to be "sure" of the facts as they knew them. If not, sue them for harrasement! The law works both ways like that. And we DO need the checks and balances of people like yourself to keep it "even".
