Now, finding a single reason they actually need that vehicle is a different question and probably a more useful one.

Yeah. Them taking on it for an early morning patrol of my residential neighbourhood (and I assure you I would have heard from someone if the TAC team was deployed in our neighbourhood) doesn't prove they need it. It proves they have it.
The TAC team gets called for all sorts of stuff that doesn't require that thing. It's way overkill for a person with a gun.
If they're regularly responding to incidents where rocket propelled grenades are involves then sure. If someone locks himself and his girlfriend inside with a hand gun you don't need an armored personnel carrier. Send it to Ukraine - they need them.
