Why do police insist on going “SWAT” when a polite knock on the door would suffice?

Politeness doesn’t get you cool toys and more funding. I mean who wants to know which fork to use for the salad when they can kick in a door instead?

To justify their existence and keep the SWAT members interested.

I've watched a few of the SWAT reality shows on TV.
It's amazing to me the way they get away with destroying some of the houses they hit.

Because you HAVE to justify the cool toys bought with public funds SOMEHOW.
