>I'm not so much baffled about actually showing up with a SWAT team before the threat could be identified as a hoax, but rather how an allegedly sleeping man could be shot twice. Once in the face.

It is actually not baffling. What is happening here is the symptom of an increasingly-authoritarian government which benefits from a trigger-happy, order-obeying-without-questioning-or-critical-thinking-abilities police force. That's why you see this and so much other egregious, unjustified, awful police brutality in America, but it is uncommon in Europe, Scandinavia and East Asia.
