Then, how do they justify their multi-million dollar SWAT Team budgets?
Use it or lose it.
In fact, they often consider such warrant arrest "backup" to be "field training under real world conditions."
I kid you not. SWAT Teams that are not used 100s of times a year, lose budget.
SWAT Teams that are used daily for routine police work (ratcheted way up to miltary raid proportions) get their budgets increased.
Follow the money.

Routine is right. My post 84 shows what a bunch of not-too-bright cops, and SWAT members can do. No research, or they DID need 10 goons to take down a 130 LB weakling, on a rape allegation (against the former occupant of my house) that turned out to be false, and was soon dismissed.
