my question was real simple. why the excessive use of force? there has to be a reason for it. they have to be able to justify the use of that kind of force or they have to have felt they had a goal that would justify

The answert is very simple too, kelley babe - you always come with overwhelming force to prevent the situation getting out of hand - as it did in Waco for example. Would you rather prefer a social workers pleading the government case to a bunch of right wing gangesters and getting into a fight with them if they refuse to cooperate... multiplying causlaties, injuries, etc.? At least nobody got hurt in this raid.

btw - i love those rare occasions when the US cops beat the shit out of right-wingers or kick the anti-Castro Miami gansters in their teeth. It is a great symbolic victory for Fidel.
