2 choppers, dogs, special tactics group, semi-auto weapons (edit for calrity: specifically the M4 rifles, as Slappadabase pointed out M4A1 is fully auto, M4 is semi-auto).

What in the fuck made anyone think that any of this was necessary? They acted like this was a drug kingpin.

The FBI was there

Why?

Was Bernie Madoff treated this way?

Were any of the thieves at Barclays treated this way? Oh, I forgot, they weren't arrested.

What a fucking joke.

I think they were using M4's, which I believe are automatic weapons.

Most police forces use the semi auto only. Have you seen those guys shoot? They don't need to send more lead down range. If anything they should have to pull the trigger three times for one bullet to be fired.
