>>If you can show me where the “SWAT” team was involved, that may mean something. Fortunately, it’s been established that it was a word created from the figment of the original poster’s imagination.<<

Give it up. The straw man has been burned alive. Stay on topic.

"How about the part where they threw an unresisting suspect down a flight of stairs?

"Straw Man" - one of the most often misused terms of the fallacious arguments.

You prove why.

Pointing out that there WASN'T a SWAT team when someone says that there was a SWAT isn't a fallacious argument, and it certainly isn't a straw man argument.

However, the fact that you - repeatedly - fail to understand this, doesn't say much about the rest of your diatribe.

Moral of the story - don't you phrases you clearly don't understand.
