4. While they are overreacting, the planning scenario was a bad choice

Any time that a drill like this is done in LE or the military you need to look at how the scenario would be received for PR purposes. You don't keep public confidence by putting up appearances that you are not on their side, or by giving hacks anything they can spin to look like it.

Same would go if they used a fictional bad guy from the Occupy movement, folks here would be all out of shape if they ran the same drill using Occupiers as the bad guys.
