you know, these “we broke into the wrong house” stories DO keep happening....
over and over again

so maybe we need to hire police who can at least read addresses?

secondly, and this is a big issue.... the whole idea of forcibly breaking into a private residence like its an enemy fortification in WWII........ I am really getting the feeling that there are far far too many such incidents....
that are not necessary.... why not just wait and arrest the suspect when he comes out to go to one of HilLIARy’s infamous taco trucks (or go anywhere else)? Breaking in with force can cause some very serious things to go wrong (innocent people getting killed, cops getting killed, etc)

just saying.... I am definitely beginning to question just how many of these forced police break=ins are really really necessary (or even the best tactic)

??????

The only time I think this SWAT action is necessary is if someone’s life is in immediate danger.

Conservative legal organization tracking these sorts of things. It's not just one-zie two-zie.

It's happening often. Needs to stop.

SWAT teams were first developed as a response to armed bank robberies / riot control. And when you give someone a hammer, the whole world looks like a nail. SWAT teams have been spread out way too much and now every little town has one. Their role should be completely limited to hostage situations or scenarios like major armed robberies. Like others have posted, no-knock raids should be simply waiting for the dude to walk out of the house, unless there's hostages present.

SWAT teams should also be only on a county level (under the Sheriff), except for maybe some of the bigger major cities. Maybe.

Possibly 10% are necessary.

The rest are just to justify the money spent on those expensive SWAT toys.
