The officers needed to come heavy because the guys they were going after were heavy. It's sad and unfortunate that a 7-year-old ended up dying but the police didn't create the situation, her father and uncle did. Aiyana's death was an obvious accident, so no one got off scot-free, although the article neglected to say what the father's sentence was. It's too common a name for me to determine via court and prison records.

Except of the course the suspect was seen coming and going from the house for hours before the raid, and the cops had ample opportunity to arrest him then. But they wanted to show off their new toys for a reality show, so they opted for a completely unnecessary midnight raid that started with a flash bang grenade, rather than just knocking on the door. The police absolutely created this situation through inept police work. And they got away with it. And they will again.
