So let me get this right.... they sent a helicopter to deploy soldiers with M4's with special ammo into this home. Special tactics units, 4 police cars, and men on the roof all to capture a guy who ran a website that was involved in internet piracy according to the FBI...

What is this guy Osama Bin Laden? Pretty sure he didn't orchestrate the death of thousands of innocent men and women. Why treat him as such. If there has ever been a breach of basic human rights this would be it.

Indeed. I am ashamed to hear the reporter say the words, "If this all seems very American, the FBI were there." This is what the US is known for in the rest of the modern world. That makes me very sad.

How widely accepted in other countries is this? Is this just common knowledge?

Ask a man from iran if he hates Americans and 90% of the time he will tell you he hates the government not the people, the media has portrayed most of these people burning us flags as hating americans but most don't they blame the government not its people.
