Re: Over-use of SWAT teams

I have read about several incidents over the years where "SWAT" has been used against the wrong house or for crimes where there is nothing life-threatening on the surface of it. They set up for "no-knock", team members in body armor inc. helmets "stack" outside the door, bust down the door with a battering ram, toss a flashbang inside, execute rapid entry, shoot barking family dog, slam everyone to the ground, "toss" the house...then not find what they are looking for, and quickly clear out without even so much as a sorry about that. I understand this stuff if they are going into a drug lord's house, or maybe an ACTUAL arms smuggler, but as stated about the raw milk thing...its true overkill.
