Most here will confirm we're of the same opinion regarding the misuse / overuse of SWAT. With the current SOP's in most departments the street cop will be replaced by Swiss photo radar and SRT teams in very near future if basics aren't followed.

Thats just my opinion based on a few years of working as a deputy sheriff ......

Stay Safe !

Given the fact that affirmative action has destroyed morale and changed the type of person who becomes a police officer (and I am not talking about race) this development might not be all bad. Memphis is begging for officers and wonders why it has to look the other way on criminal records and the such on new officers. Hell they have stabbed qulified line officers in the back for fifteen plus years now!

I felt for my friends that dealt with this in their career. (Most have gone elsewhere, (to smaller departments) the few extra dollars are not worth it) People with half a brain hate this s#!t but situations like the one above and many others are pissing the same people off at the SWAT type S#!T.

We are going to end up with a bunch of semi-criminal sociopaths who think they are abve the law if this road is continued down.
