No it's not. Safety of innocents should always be top priority.
Ya see 99.9% of these reckless dangerous military style raids are not over violent hostage situations where people could die any second. Nope. Not even close.
They are usually done to search for drugs, medications etc. In fact, if it were not for the government sponsored illegal drug industry, likely 75 percent of these raids would never occur. Ya take that away and you could let go half the government police.
They told ya there was a war on drugs, so they could play war and control others. And believe me, they have created a massive industry around this and why the courts have more cash registers that the local walmarts, with warehouses full of seized stuff. Big industry.
All this and yet drugs can be found anywhere....lol...Talk about job security!
As if they and the corrupt politicians wanted this profitable industry stopped.
Swat style raids should only be used in violent hostage situations and where *extremely* violent people are directly involved. The WOD is basically an excuse for government to grow, control, fine, and seize assets.
Even those drooling in cups figured this out.
That's the only thing I disagree with in your post. SWAT-teams should not exist, period. The hostage and "where *extremely* violent people are directly involved" situations should be handled by the militia, that is the armed body of the people, and not that of the police. (Precisely because of the propensity to use SWAT for more and more, thereby devaluing the innocent-life more and more [because every SWAT action is inherently more lethal].)
A governmental War On Drugs is like a governmental War On Poverty: the more vigorously the war is waged, the stronger the enemy becomes. Only a utopian statist can believe in either War.
