If you had read the article, you'd see they made a note of the police mentioning he was armed. |

they weren't serving an eviction. they were evicting, i.e. removing the man. |

When they refer to 'tear gas cannisters', would 'flash bangs' |

Tear gas is meant to draw out. Flash bang is meant to distract while the officers enter. |
