Exactly, but I would focus first on the origins of the command rather than the actions of the police themselves.

I support what youve said leading up to this bW, however, when dealing with the atmosphere and circumstances surrounding drugs in this day and age, you cannot know ahead of time what youre dealing with. I believe someone mentioned sounds like Mexico? If I'm told I'm going into a secured compound possibly involving drugs I'm going in with worst case in mind, regardless of persons involved. I'm sure if you consider that you will find your comment about questioning the level of force to be non sequitur...hindsight is perfect.
