You're looking at it from a POV sympathetic to the SWAT guys. I'm looking at it from a POV sympathetic to the homeowner. How many guns were pointed at him first? There are rules of engagement that these guys are expected to follow. As far as I know, simply having a weapon pointed at you isn't cause to shoot 71 times. Those guys are trained to be overcareful when it comes to deadly force (or at least they used to be).
