the approach of breaking in and using the force they did caused the following shitstorm with other people not knowing exactly why the police were involved in removing them.

Tangentially related but now that wants to expand the police's ability to "curtail anti social behaviour" (which seems to include everything from street drinking to people having mental health crises) I worry you're gonna see a lot of cases of the police brute forcing their way through situations that would be better handled by medical professionals and social workers.
