Its a poor answer.

We were sold swat to deal with urban gangs.

Instead they use them against single targets and civillian situations.

Never trust govt to tell you the truth about swat. it was to militarize police but not to go after gangs, but regular people.

??? The headline says “SWAT-Like” as a way to get folks to knee-jerk...if the locals won’t enforce the laws, it makes sense to send in a team with resources to do the job and defend itself - any bets that some locals/cops/mayors will try to interfere and make life dangerous for them?
