At no point does anyone in the story attempt to justify the explosive breach. They were looking for a guy who was in a car accident with feds and let go.

The justification is intimidation.

Nor do they justify the armored personnel carrier... Talk about over the top. Obviously intentionally over the top to intimidate.

And all they ever accomplish when trying to show force is to look like scared little bitches.

Escalation to "justify" killing him. There probably were too many witnesses with cameras at the car accident.
