The truth always lies somewhere between the two stories - old proverb
I do think it was a bit excessive, but 3000 people, a couple squad cars can't handle that amount of people. The military carries machine guns wherever they go, so for them to be without them is pointless. For most of the military guys, the M16 is the only gun they are trained to shoot.
The media will always condemn raves. Raves are synonmous with ecstacy and other drugs. You want the media to indirrectly support drug use among children? They can't do that. But that's the bias of the US media and stereotyping of EDM youth..
