The cops were "cordial" after rousting him out of bed while pointing automatic weapons at him. In other words, they armed up and stormed the residence of a suspect of a non-violent crime. That sounds pretty standard for the US, and for the same reason indicated by the instruction, "Get out of bed. Do not touch the keyboard".

SWAT-style tactics are rarely about any actual belief that the suspect has weapons and is likely to resist arrest, but about violently (sometimes lethally) subduing a suspect who might destroy evidence and impair the prosecution's case.

And, of course, the overtime pay for SWAT work in many US jurisdictions. Don't know how that works in Germany.

On the reddit thread, the guy says that was inaccurate and they were actually "really nice" in waking him up.

Hmm! I wonder what that's about. Thanks for the information.
