Depends how accurate the accusations are. I can criticise SWATting even when the target is my enemy.

What little I know at this point, is compatible with both “the police stopped some bad guys” and “the police mistook chemistry nerds for a threat”.

They didn't. They searched witnesses. Or "witnesses" because they were forwarding donations to riseup. Mozilla is donating to riseup too btw. So this is about on par as searching and confiscating random stuff at Mozilla's offices.

Not personally a fan of riseup, but that's fucked up.
