I have said it before and say it again, many who post here are not the best friends of cops or the tactics that are necessary to be successful in law enforcement.

All depends how you measure "success", I guess. Do you consider breaking down someone's door at 2am without first verifying the address to be a tactic that is necessary to be successful in law enforcement?

When used for legitimate purposes SWAT team have a place in the police arsenal.

When use improperly they are no better then the crooks themselves sometimes even worse.

Whats the solution do away with a lot of the laws most people find a need to violate. Mainly gun laws and drug laws If they only went after murders, rapist robbers and the like we all would lose a lot less sleep over their use.

One hostage death in 35 years.

I suppose if you look for the negative, you can find it. And that is what happens dealing with cops here on Free Republic in many cases.
