Seems everybody and their grandmother has a SWAT team nowadays.

These SWAT teams are, for the most part, made up of ex-military and/or wanna be’s.

Of course the use of SWAT teams was pioneered in the late 1970’s and early 1980’s by the L.A.P.D. and used almost exclusively for hostage and high risk operations.

My how times have changed.

A freakin purse snatcher doesn’t rate full metal jacket, armed to the nth degree, assault. Unless there is the imminent danger (meaning RIGHT F’ING NOW), the SWAT team shouldn’t be going after someone who stole a purse from a grocery store cart!

Ohio. Almost making Kansas look normal at times.
