Yes because the gov't has no agency that has any experience with stopping drug airplanes or arresting the occupants (thinking DEA and CBP for starters).
Plus - the real issue here is the bad information that led to thinking this was a drug airplane - not how it was handled. The police should have responded in kind to a potential threat. I'm not seeing Martha face down on the concrete with the gun pointed at the nape of her neck here.
