The government is out of control.

Gotta love these singularity answers to societal problems.

This is not a "societal problem" it is just another example of an
oppressive government operation.

The war on drugs is right up there with the war on terror in
threatening our liberty in the name of some perceived increase in
safety.

That is a perfect indication of a government running out of control.

This cop's intrusion was completely in accordance with what the
federal government has funded and directed local cops to do.
The only difference is, if the DEA did it, there would have been a
paramilitary DEA SWAT team taking the guy down.

It is a societal problem because society allows such behavior on the
part of police and other overbearing "authority" figures. Cops all over
the country seem to be getting more violent in terms of the use of
deadly or near deadly force. That, again, is a societal problem. Our
society talks a lot about violence, eh? Well, there are all sorts of
violence.
