Cops have massive backup. Under all but extreme circumstances, there’s no reason for police to use a SWAT assault. Whatever happened to talking people out? Whatever happened to simply waiting, or geting backup and communicating? I mean, if we’re going to talk about cops going home safe at night as being the most important part of their jobs, isn’t negotiation safer than kicking in doors, throwing grenades, shooting dogs and blowing away anyone who twitches?
What are the real goals here?

That's it ... nothing more and nothing less.
It's not sexy/rock-star/exciting enough.

Starting with Ruby Ridge then followed by Waco, the cops no longer wait anyone out. It’s guns blazin’.
Militarized law enforcement could also accurately be called martial law enforcement.
This is pure speculation, but there may be many reasons. Possibly, they are conditioning Americans for martial law, by getting them used to raids on homes. They might be practicing raids to round people up for the camps, or they are practicing for a major gun grab. Who knows for sure?
Hot, fresh doughnuts wait for nobody so a quick ending is most important.
Swat should only be used for defensive roles, not offensive ones ie. Task forces.
Swat is basically a form of gun control already.
