Of local police pretending that they are action heroes because they have all of these new military 'toys' provided to them by the federal government. They could have just had police surround the home, the defendant had to leave the home eventually. Instead, they bombarded the house.

A further issue is that Walmart doesn't have their own security at their stores, and they rely solely on local police for their security needs. This is just another way we subsidize Walmart's profits.
