When planning an operation like this you need to plan for a time when the suspect is likely to be home. I imagine the most likely time someone is to be home is right at their regular waking time (people often get home at different times). Additionally, 6:00 AM is not excessively early for a large swath of the population. It's not a convenient time, but when is?

I couldn't help but imagine the police sending a request to view his outlook calendar while reading your comment.

At least he still has intact ear drums and door frame. Sounds fairly reasonable at least by contemporary standards.

They didn't seize the house either

A. That's not what "demeaning" means.

B. As others have said 6:00 AM is among the most likely time that most working professionals will be home.

C. I'm not sure what his status as an exit node operator has to do with the hour at which a search is executed?

Like at an hour when kids are up and running around maybe just on their way to school?

But a no knock swat raid killing people's dog is more fun
