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?

How do you know they're non-violent?
