Urban warfare? You’ve got to be joking. These weren’t guerilla soldiers he was fighting, it was small children cowering in fear that he was executing. You’re really grasping for straws here to try and paint this as anything other than a tragic attack by a crazy person.

What would you use to describe the sort of bust into a building and terrorize/nutralize occupants action-family that this, military operations in Iraq/Afghanistan, and the police/no-knock-warrant belong to?
Only a fool would say that there's no correlation/similarity: the victims/occupants in all these cases are in a building and the actions are generally a surprise (certainly they work more effectively when an overall rapid-dominance strategy is being employed).

Rapid dominance is defined by its authors, Harlan K. Ullman and James P. Wade, as attempting "to affect the will, perception, and understanding of the adversary to fight or respond to our strategic policy ends through imposing a regime of Shock and Awe."

Further, rapid dominance will "impose this overwhelming level of Shock and Awe against an adversary on an immediate or sufficiently timely basis to paralyze its will to carry on . . . [to] seize control of the environment and paralyze or so overload an adversary's perceptions and understanding of events that the enemy would be incapable of resistance at the tactical and strategic levels."

These weren’t guerilla soldiers he was fighting, it was small children cowering in fear that he was executing.

Irrelevant - In a situation as described, the methodology is rapid-dominance.
Comparing those subjected to rapid-dominance to others subjected to the same is a valid analytic — again, the situation is simply not going to be static.

You’re really grasping for straws here to try and paint this as anything other than a tragic attack by a crazy person.

I didn't say it absolutely wasn't an attack by a crazy person; the government could certainly manipulate the mentally ill. (They've done it before [~12:00-13:00].)
The other situations, like the lack of emergency-protocol and the lack of legally mandated paperwork for blood cleanup (where's the blood?) and the school being demolished/rebuilt while requiring the construction crew to sign non-disclosure agreements though cause me to seriously doubt the "official story".

Yes, I may be a heartless cynic; I may be utterly and completely in not-job conspiracy-theory land. I admit these possibilities.
I'm a Christian, I believe that Jesus was God in human form who died and raised Himself from the dead to pay for my transgressions. I admit the possibility I could be wrong there, too — as did Paul.
To do otherwise would be irrational and intellectually dishonest; but to accept the official story in the face of these valid questions is lazy and shows a dangerous disregard for truth.
