‘...called Elite Tactical Unit: S.W.A.T., which features SWAT teams from across the country competing in a number of SWAT-like competitions...’
Ive watched that a couple times. If these guys a truly representative of SWAT teams we’re in danger for our safety..and probably liberty. Their gun handling/shooting skills are at best mediocre and its ‘bro’ this and ‘bro’ that (the Thin Blue Line baloney on steroids). They make a lot of excuses for their lack of discipline. Theyre certainly not the defn of a solider but seem to want to live in that world. Basically, theyre a gang of civil servants w/ a distorted view of the world and their role in it. OTOH Im sure the pols are happy for a ‘military’ to impose their will on the unwilling. It seems if all this goes to a logic conclusion the end wont be a happy one.
Seen the show also.
Cops are not your friend.
Why do you think they recruit from the ranks of recently discharged combat veterans???
Some will bite at the chance to re-live the “jazz” they got when outside the wire...
That is what is filling up the ranks of these “police” SWAT units...They have the background, the mentality, and the skills to drive, and coordinate their response to any situation based upon the graphic military training and de-sensitizing which is indicative of those police forces, or what they want to eventually become...
