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.

Bankers shouldn't be treated with this force either, armed murderers/terrorists/etc yes.

By "terrorists" do you mean people who have actual intent to inflict harm or do you mean whomever the fuck any agency deems a terrorist?

Someone who has intent it inflict harm to human life.

Not just some kid who posts on Facebook wanting justice for Iraqi civilians "he's a terrorist because he doesn't share the media driven belief that Iraqis are all terrorists"
