And on the topic of the militarization of the police, its calls like this that forces their hand. At the end of the day, the police need to be prepared to deal with on going, dynamic, situations like this when the people are doing this are so well equipped.

Once or twice is a coincidence, numerous times makes a guy wonder. I honestly don't know.
No, it's not calls like this that forces their hand. It's fulfillment of contracts, using gear and kit that otherwise would sit unused. This goes beyond SWAT or other associated tactical police outfits, this is military gear that is given a fresh coat of PD paint and put to use state side.
