Every police department thinks they need a SWAT team. Then they have to justify their existance by going out and playing Rambo.
Yep, and they will justify it at the drop of a hat. “Yessiree, that ole boy has an arsenal in his house. A .22LR and a whole brick of ammo.”
This kind of crap is really, really getting on the side of absurdity. What is insane is the coppers don’t really give a crap if they raid the wrong house or kill the wrong person. The only way I could see it slow down is if the cops could end up being charged crimminally, but that ain’t gonna happen. Talk about a classic case of the fox guarding the hen house.
