Militarization Of Police Continues-SWATs Up?

Dallas Acquires MRAP Armored Vehicle As Militarization Of Police Continues - Investors.com:
"The SWAT raid came after "the Arlington Police Department received a number of complaints that the same property owner was cultivating marijuana plants on the premises," the city's statement said.
So why not just knock on the door with a search warrant?

An Arlington spokeswoman said the raid was perfectly legal and appropriate.
"The purpose was to improve the quality of life, to resolve safety issues within neighborhoods and to hold the property owner responsible for creating blight conditions on their property," she stated, not really explaining how this or even marijuana cultivation requires a SWAT team."
