Remember children, when seconds count, the SWAT team is only minutes away...

It seems like every dinky police force, no matter how small, has a SWAT team, trained and equipped at huge expense via federal grants.

It would be a better use of money to have SWAT be at the state police level, base them at a local National Guard base, and give them a helicopter so that they could respond quickly anywhere in the state.

YGTBFKM. That bunch of fat bodies wouldn’t scare my grandmother.

The stress will be so high that all these guys will retire in less than a decade with a huge tax free disability pension and full benefits.

Or they'll sue, and get it that way.

Of course they need a SWAT team - those dogs aren’t going to shoot themselves.

we used to drink beer and sneak girls into the dorm after hours. i Also vaguely remember peeing in the fountain in front of the library after 2 a.m. on a fri night and “liberating” “No Parking” signs. i bet these guys would taze pepper spray and take down hooligans like me. Zero tolerance! by th by. i hope those hero SWAT team guys don’t really believe all that glorious heroic crap their boss said about them... damn i hope not.

Dogs everywhere are no longer safe...

So, the requirements or ‘distinctive qualities’ are that you have to be a fatass that is afraid to be a city cop, dealing with real criminals?

At least three quarters of them look like they couldn’t pass a weight check or PT test with the military. They look like fools in their “pretend soldier” costumes.
