I've been there.
Recently.
They don't need a SWAT team.
The militarization of our police needs to stop.
And, the federal government needs to get out of the local police business.
Local law enforcement should be local.
Federal tax dollars should not be flowing to local governments.
Why should someone in Salmon, Idaho be paying for Toms River's SWAT team?

"Why should someone in Salmon, Idaho be paying for Toms River's [N.J.] SWAT team?"

Moreover -- why should someone in Toms River be paying for food, shelter, and medical for Illegal Invaders taking up refuge in California, OR for subsidizing the economies of both Egypt and Israel?

BTW, since the system of Federal subsidization is already in place, a SWAT team in place in the Toms River area IS justifiable simply based on TWO recent multiple murder/hostage events, as well as it's nearby location as a resort/bedroom community to the Philadelphia/New York nutcase axis.
