I think the main point being, SWAT (or whatever fancy name) teams used to be very specialized and used only in the most dire of situations. Now they are being used like old tennis shoes on every situation one can imagine. And that was my point and the point of the article, what next? LEO's are now using drones and I'm sure it's only for the most dire of situations and when they become as well used as the old tennis shoes do we give law enforcement the opportunity to up the ante and say arm them? I'd sure like the federal, state and local law enforcement to justify the purchase of MRAPS and machine guns......

MRAPS, machine guns, secret courts, NSA wire taps, drones, Department of Education SWAT teams, have we lost our collective minds? How much more? And tell me federal, state and local law enforcement, how has the employment of all this taxpayer dollars stemmed the violence in Gun Free Chicago? Let me answer that, NOT one f**king bit, but it makes federal state and local law enforcement feel better.

"Protect and Serve" just who is it being protected?

And trust me 18C4V, I do believe it's the leadership, they have become pussies and politicians.
