It is ridiculous, as is a heavily armed tactical squad being called on a quiet suburban family of four. Unfortunately it's the sort of bullshit that the public seems to allow when it's framed as a "War". One possible way to flip the debate might be to re-frame it as police "War on the Constitution".
