These SWAT warriors and the whole SWAT team concept is out of control and will ruin the moral authority of the police.
REAL POLICEMEN DON'T WEAR BLACK UNIFORMS, WEAR FACEMASKS, CARRY GERMAN SUBMACHINEGUNS, USE GRENADES, AND KICK IN PEOPLE'S DOORS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT.
The one time in recent memory where a team like this MIGHT have come in handy was here and they withdrew because it was too dangerous to them. I watched Vince Dimana leader of the first squad "inserted" say they backed out because it was too dangerous and pointed to a grievous 1/4" scar on his chin. I was sickened. (Officer DiManna went on to lead a raid several months later where an unarmed man was shot through his bedroom door while on an unfruitful drug raid. Of course he skated. I guess they call that collateral damage.)
I said MIGHT above because in the 60's and early 70's a 2 man unit, no bulletproof vests, and armed with model 10s would have gone in and stopped these two punks. (Though they were already dead by the time the SWAT team went in according to later timelines.)
I thought that needed repeating.
LEO's described as above are just government agents of force, functioning at the behest of government on the behalf of government. Often the interest of government organizations & functionaries is at odds with the interest of the people. The object of the 'To Protect and To Serve' clause is what? Government? The People? They are not the same.
