Are you forgetting Waco and Ruby Ridge?
Those were not LEO SWAT teams...
They were paramilitary JBTs, without UCMJ Code of Conduct restrictions, in action.
The only place I see a role for the BATF in the USA, is on the border, looking outwards.

You have a point but only if we could convert the whole org into border security troops. We don't need any more of these types. Lord knows- when this war winds down great numbers of these folks will be released on society and many will head for police departments to offer their services. The demob after VN is what injected the last ìnfection into the body politic. All those ex green-beanies going around to the Podunk police dept and hey you want to have a SWAT team like the Big City? You want to look like Big Time? It didn't die out as they retired. Podunk trained up some more to continue feeling like Bigg City and now they smash the house two doors down from you and shoot folks and break mucho things and then say gee it was the wrong address, sorry bout that and then fight the homeowner in court about payng for it.

I'd like to see them in the unemployment line.
