I'm getting really tired of the repetition of the 'SWAT team throws grenade at infant' line used as though this is now routine policy in these teams, babies are getting blown up left right and centre across the US, and so on. That was a terrible mistake, not a fucking policy decision.
- Goronmon 12y agoThat was a terrible mistake, not a fucking policy decision. Using heavily armed SWAT teams to conduct raids on family homes for small-time drug offenses seems like a policy decision to me...
- kefka 12y agoThere's a reasonable way of handling drug crimes. Have 2 cars with 2-4 cops go arrest everyone and then look for drugs, given an appropriate warrant. If you see heavy arsenal, THEN calling in heavy guns can be called for. But you dont just show up at someone's house with SWAT by default and do whatever you want. That's just wrong. But that's done. Just go look up the new phenomenon "Swatting".
