Good discussions on this thread. Play nice.
A distinction without much of a difference, as far as the target is concerned.
BUT a cop systematically SWATing people at random does far more damage than an individual citizen with a single random grudge.
Not just to the people SWATted, but to the trust we the people have in their ‘betters’.
All the more so when the “good” cops close ranks and protect the bad cop.
