These are the tools of the ruling class in whatever country or time period they're in, that's why they exist not nonsense reasons such as "to protect and serve". They are necessary evils (given not having them means anarchy) that must be constantly improved and watched because they're more likely than not to be a threat to the public than its protectors. Left wing or right wing, doesn't matter, the government will crack down on you. But one must also remember who the real enemy is, not the cops or soldiers or even the politicians, they're just puppets, the real enemy are those pulling the strings.

    I don't really understand the switch to desert camoflauge among some SWAT units. Most of the time, or at least from what I've seen, their missions are set in an urban environment, which the camoflauge doesn't do anything in.
    My only idea is that the uniforms are surplus and therefore cheaper than making new black or blue SWAT uniforms. With the surplus uniforms you've just gotta sew in the SWAT tag.

    Back when SWAT was created, in 1960s Los Angeles, they were intended to be used only in highly volatile and dangerous-types of situations that ordinary police aren't properly equipped for, such as active shooter scenarios, hostage situations, bank robberies, barricaded suspects, etc.. etc..
    Today, there are more than 100 SWAT raids that take place across America on a daily basis. Often these involve no-knock warrants, where the police do not announce themselves prior to forcing their way into your home, usually with a battering ram.
    In the past, the no-knock raid has been mistaken by tenants for being a criminal home invasion, which has resulted in tragedies for both civilians and LEOs alike.
    8 out of 10 times, a SWAT raid is going to be used to serve a drug warrant.

  • @andreaswetzel4457

    SWAT is in no way comparable to GSG9 or GIGN, as both are federal police units with different tasks, better comparable to FBIs HRT. Same goes for Russian Spetznas and Brazilian BOPE, as those are military/military police units. For Germany the correct units to compare to SWAT would be SEK or BFE+, RAID for France, OMON and SOBR for Russia (however also both are federal police units).

    I wish I could say I was that much of a badass, getting swatted with rifles in your face is traumatic, I’m gonna assume most of there stuff is bullshit

    Getting super technical the first S.W.A.T team by that definition 1968 led by Daryl Gates who is widely consider the father of S.W.A.T as we know it but... in 1925 the N.Y.P.D created the Emergency Automobile Squad which is the pre cursor of the Emergency Service Unit but low and behold they were created to deal with problems beyond the scope pf normal patrol officers and they did have rifle trained etc officers in designated teams or as we call em trucks. So even though LAPD gets credit for it the NYPD was really doing it and more well before... just food for thought because ESU > LAPD SWAT and if your from NYC you know why
