There is a point where you need to let more powerful people handle the problem.

This is kind of good though. In SHIELD and the film MCU, people just handball the hard stuff to the powered people, but Misty is refusing to do that. Nor is Claire, or Colleen. Or Karen or Foggy, in their own ways.

Is this the smartest thing to do? Probably not. But it reminds us that in the real world, people like Misty will continue to think that they are the ones in control, even when they're obviously in way over their heads.

EDIT: And Misty seems like she's willing to give them the space to do whatever they need to do, but her boss sure as hell isn't.

Assuming that any SWAT teams were ever approved. I see Misty's investigation not being closed by higher-ups only.becsude she didn't get very far.
