Yes. There were a lot of them for absolutely no reason but for a completely baseless claim.

> And he did have a gun.

This is irrelevant. He was on his own property and did nothing wrong. The authorities didn't know he had a gun before sending so many cops.

How would they know its baseless? If someone broke into your house with a gun do you want the police to show up assuming you're lying?
