In this case they were actually dealing with a dangerous guy so I don’t see the problem here. But there are plenty of cases where they use the same tactics against people where there is no suspicion of them being dangerous. Example here : https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Berwyn_Heights,_Maryland_mayor%27s_residence_drug_raid https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Berwyn_Heights,_Maryland_may...

Maybe he had some mental issues that might get better with proper medication, but then he most probably wouldn't be able to hold a steady relationship so I don't believe that. I am far from a fan of gun-ho US style of police force, but in this case it really seems dangerous person was removed from society.
