There's some kind of essential pun or irony here. The terms "cock fighting" and "sheriff Joe" have this base interplay. Like a dump truck full of gay jokes hanging over a bible study group. I guess what passes as a nuance in Arizona is better appreciated from a distance. The question here is often not why but why not? I can't say it would be ORDINARY for Hollywood actor Steven Segal to roll up on me in a tank but I wouldn't automatically get all excited about it or anything. I'd assume he was lost and wanted directions.

Excessive force, yes. Pointless show of force for a TV show, yes. Good they stopped the cock fighting, definitely. I can agree with stopping the animal abuse, but way to much force and hollywood went into stopping it.
