I'm all for enforcing the law but at what cost? Depending on the crime is it worth other law enforcement possibly dying? Why didn't they just shut his utilities off?

But, both of the offenses (UCW and simple assault on a peace officer) being misdemeanors (IIRC), there was no need to spool up the DPS SWAT team and go in with guns blazing. Those warrants would still be over his head if he ever came off the property... this way, no one (Grey, his family, or LEOs) got hurt.
