Private rave gets broken up by SWAT team for not having a mass gathering permit - the SWAT team finds all sorts of banned drugs, and allegedly uses brutality to break up the party.

Well, it's more than just drugs they're going after, it seems. Firearms and sexual predators are something that are obviously a sensitive issue, so they're using the permit thing to go do what they want. Not that i agree with their actions, but they do have legit concerns

Legit concerns, yes. Need for a SWAT team, and attack dogs...that seems very suspect.

I thought they were drug sniffing dogs, not attack dogs.

Firearms at a rave? Please. Grateful Dead concerts go on without a hitch, and raves get broken up by the police all the time. Explain the hypocricy!

No, the article mentions accounts of ravegoers attacked by dogs.
