I dunno. That incident pre-dates SWAT and 9/11. Nowadays they could just launch a missile at his house, bulldoze the lot, and sell it to some corp to build a parking lot or a suburb or something.
Let's not be hyperbolic here. SWAT doesn't have missiles. They will send a bomb in on a robot and blow you up instead.
Or drop explosives from a helicopter like the police did to the MOVE compound in Philly.
They do have grenade launchers though. Much cheaper than the robot.
