Police

Armed men entered the apartment where Alex Horton, an Army veteran, was fast asleep. They yanked him out of bed, handcuffed him, and searched his underwear for weapons.¹

It's ok, though. It wasn't random armed men. It was the police. Horton wasn't a squatter, despite the call of a paranoid neighbor. He was staying in a model apartment while the maintenance crew worked on his apartment.

The shift commander, a lieutenant of the Fairfax County Police, thought it went great:

Rhoads defended the procedure, calling the officers’ actions “on point.” It’s not standard to conduct investigations beforehand because that delays the apprehension of suspects, he told me.

Emphasis mine.

Look, Lt. Rhoads. You have a hard job. You likely deal with all sorts of wackos and dangerous situations. But if you really believe your men did the right thing that day, you are not the right man for the job.
