City Manager to SWAT Commander, Last Year's Annual Budget Meeting:

"Captain Mike, I see we spent 2 million dollars on SWAT last year. How many times was SWAT actually called out?"

>>"Um, 47 times, actually."

"Geez, that seems like a lot of money for just 47 call outs. We're going to have to review this expenditure."


City Manager to SWAT Commander, This Year's Annual Budget Meeting:

"Captain Mike, I see we spent 2.5 million dollars on SWAT last year. How many times was SWAT actually called out?"

>>"There were 427 emergency SWAT call outs this year!"

"Great work Captain Mike!"

If GM or McDonald’s or Walmart made this many mistakes they’d be sued back to the ice age !

Unacceptable record and risks for current SWAT SOP & ROE at all levels of goobermint.

The SWAT teams are in most cases as bad as the criminals they seek to swoop up.

But we know this already.......
