The cops were "cordial" after rousting him out of bed while pointing automatic weapons at him. In other words, they armed up and stormed the residence of a suspect of a non-violent crime. That sounds pretty standard for the US, and for the same reason indicated by the instruction, "Get out of bed. Do not touch the keyboard". SWAT-style tactics are rarely about any actual belief that the suspect has weapons and is likely to resist arrest, but about violently (sometimes lethally) subduing a suspect who might destroy evidence and impair the prosecution's case. And, of course, the overtime pay for SWAT work in many US jurisdictions. Don't know how that works in Germany.
