How do you know? We didn't see everyone involved and have no picture of the entire situation.

- trhway 2y agoThe door didnt flew in, so it wasn’t SWAT. And the guy was lucky he was programming and nod spreading butter on sandwich with a knife.

- nine_k 2y agoSWAT = Special Weapons and Tactics. Which usually involves blasting out the door, jumping inside while covered with body armor and / or tactical shields, expecting unusually fierce resistance with military-grade weapons, etc. This is warranted in special cases, like storming a building held by terrorists. What was that is very regular tactics and barely any weapons. It was a polite visit by police expecting reasonable cooperation from the target person, not heavy armed resistance.
- qayxc 2y agoThe SEK/MEK (i.e. German SWAT equivalent) operates differently. Shocking, I know, different countries, different procedures. Their daily operations look pretty much like this.
- nine_k 2y agoA different notion of special, I suppose. If they do not expect fierce armed resistance, or special environment like an unlit derelict factory, or a need to interact with unusual machinery / electronics, I wonder what makes their job "special". I suppose that SEK/MEK are capable of tackling special circumstances, but in this case they didn't need to, they just had to do a job of a police inspector, only with a large safety margin.
- lazyasciiart 2y agoPresumably the cars were just there to witness the reasonable cooperation? > the whole street was full of about 10 (or more) emergency vehicles right up to the next intersection!!! about 10 police cars, 2 fire departments, 1 ambulance, an emergency doctor
