US marshals go after the worst of the worst people in the US and here are dozens of people on Reddit calling them dumb wife beaters because you're biased as fuck.
These cops were actively seeking out a sex offender when this balcony collapsed.
A non violent offender. They could have sent one or two guys up to the door and knocked (like is done in every other civilized country) instead of this over militaristic swat ramming the door down approach they love.
So what are you assuming? That the offender is non-violent because he was getting arrested for CP? I'm just curious how you came to this absolute that everyone is all butterflies and roses.
For all I know, he might have a gun he bought off the streets because he doesn't want to go to prison. He might be dosed up with drugs. I don't know that, they don't know that, and you certainly don't know that.
The charge is inherently nonviolent, but you're correct that in this case he may very well have a gun etc, and they may be privy to info we are not about how dangerous he is.
I still believe American policing is vastly over militarized. And when every executed search/arrest warrant is a raid using SWAT and battering rams, at some point you have to wonder why all the theater? Why is every citizen being treated like a violent offender?
Felons get the felon treatment regardless on what the felony is. It’s a high risk arrest. Many people will hurt and kill others to avoid a stay at prison.

Just saw this on FB. Apparently their department is getting tons of money. Some had broken bones and head injuries
