With16 officers injured? How much explosive were they using and how close were they lined up? That seems excessive.

Absolutely my point... Firecrackers would have made the same demonstrative point considering it is just training.

Absolutely brilliant.

Maybe some of the SWATsters heard about John Kerry’s purple heart medals. And they want to get some more badges for their collection.

I was just speculating, as I don’t know anything about this incident. But it’s not uncommon for new guys to forget that the shock wave from the blast will come back at just about anything in line of sight from where the charge is set. So you don’t want to have any body parts exposed to that.
