“... suspected of exceeding his limit while fishing that day”.
That is absolutely horrifying. I believe the idea of SWAT is to save an innocent two year old from a kidnapping situation or a hostage event.. something like that. NOT be the goons that actually terrorize a little baby! Dang, I think I have an overdue library book. I better pay the fine and get it back right now or my three kids will be held at gunpoint and my dogs shot. Just, dang!
“I believe the idea of SWAT is to save an innocent two year old from a kidnapping situation or a hostage event”
yes but those situations are exceedingly rare and are insufficient to justify the expense. So police departments look to expand the use of SWAT to keep em busy.
Also, police departments seem to pick the most dangerous time/place to arrest people. Which results in more violence, injuries, and deaths on both sides of the equation.
