Exactly. Not a riot, not a raid... it was a "criminal investigation" using search warrants to collect information. As was done in other locations the same day.
The problem was that misinformation was abundant, and the neighborhood residents are not very trusting due to recent historical events.
When military level vehicles rolled into their neighborhood, with masked agents in camo fatigues carrying assault weapons. (ICE agents also there.) The residents naturally started to prepare for the worst.
As I've already posted - investigations can take the entire situation into account and can be done quickly, quietly and professionally.
Or they can roll in "military style" with big camo trucks and scary looking guys in fatigues with guns as an intimidation tactic. And make a big unnecessary show of power. That just takes the problem from 1 to 10.
These folks weren't going to be intimidated in their own neighborhood. Nor should they be. Nor should anybody in their own neighborhood. All of you and myself included.
