After situations like the North Hollywood bank robbery, I don’t see what’s wrong with the police having an armored vehicle or M16’s

How come those in LE always cite this as if it's a common every week occurrence?

Leftist politicians use this same exact strategy to ban just about everything. Sandy hook event comes to mind.

Should every small town and rural county have HRT, swat teams and armored military war vehicles?

I cited it because it’s one that just about everybody has heard of. There are more of course and the chance of it occurring anywhere is there. Is it a weekly occurrence? No.

Should every city/town have a swat team? No. But if a city decides to have one I don’t see what’s wrong with equipping them with decent gear.

How and why a swat team is used is a different matter. I don’t believe the average cop is being militarized.
