Ah, yeah, I completely forgot about swatting. Good point. The sooner that problem gets solved, the better.

  > The sooner that problem gets solved, the better. We could just stop having SWAT teams. The events that supposedly justify them are so exceedingly rare that most members of SWAT teams go their entire careers without ever seeing one. But once they exist they get used for all kinds of routine operations that don't actually require them, where all they do is raise tensions and unnecessarily escalate matters. There is a reason there is supposed to be a hard wall between the police and the military. If you really need a military presence, the governor can call in the National Guard. But when does that happen? Even they mostly end up getting called in for hurricane relief and that sort of thing.

    The National Guard is called in when the local police force kills innocent civilians.
