I remind our local constable how silly the black police uniforms are. They are HOT and Texas has been really HOT for the past 2 years. But this summer was better.
At one time the local police wore Kaki cotton uniforms. They were cool. The state police and county sheriff department still wear Kaki.
The whole SWAT thing is insane.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SWAT
“Some sources state that the first use of “SWAT” as an acronym for “Special Weapons and Tactics” was the Special Weapons and Tactics Squad established by the Philadelphia Police Department in 1964.[2]”
“A more prominent early SWAT team was established in the Los Angeles Police Department in 1967, by Inspector Daryl Gates.”
Gates originally named the platoon "Special Weapons Assault Team"; however, this name was not generally favored and was rejected by his manager, deputy police chief Ed Davis, as sounding too much like a military organization. Wanting to keep the acronym "SWAT", Gates changed its expanded form to "special weapons and tactics".
That's what SWAT is, folks, a military (wanabe) organization. And the enemy, er adversary, is We the People.
