It's real easy to chalk all of this up to stupidity and a lot of people will, but if your goal was to break as many different things as you could, this is exactly the kind of thing you do.
“BORTAC in particular is used to operating in the desert. They are not trained for urban policing,” says Gil Kerlikowske, a former CBP commissioner. “They’re absolutely the wrong tool for the job. It’s like using a chain saw to mow your lawn”

Two agents involved in the shooting deaths of US citizens in Minneapolis are reportedly part of highly militarized DHS units whose extreme tactics are generally reserved for war zones.

so how the Nazi regime operated was Hitler always gave intentionally vague orders like a mob boss would.
Then his subordinates would fight amongst themselves and whoever “won” got a tax-free gift from the Nazi slush funds.
Formal chains of command broke down and corruption was endemic.
