There’s a stupid Canadian TV show (or there was) called “Flashpoint” that idolizes SWAT teams and has them doing all kinds of criminal stuff while making them out to be golden boy and girl heroes... it’s a hideous show and I thought very far fetched... but more and more it’s looking like that show is not so far fetched after all.
Yes - I remember that show. My son and I refer to it as the Canadian JBT show. I remember watching an episode around 2 years ago (after which I promptly dropped watching it - once I saw the message they were spewing) where some middle-aged husband and wife owners of a jewelry store were in the process of being robbed by a young couple armed with a butter knife, or something. The husband pulled his gun, but somehow the robbers got a hold of it and ran out. The Canadian JBTs show up and they sneeringly referred to the couple as 'Mister and Mrs Smith and Wesson'. The message being, 'How dare they bare firearms? This is only meant for us JBT folks' ... And of course the young criminal couple, 'who never meant to do anyone any real harm', now that they had an evil gun in their possession - were embarking on other criminal activities.
It was a real puke-fest of an episode, and the last one I ever watched...
