Hanging around instructors of tactical backgrounds hasn't earned you the credibility to speak on behalf of the LE community. You seem to be getting deeper in this thread, and all the current and former LEOs I know on this board have sided with guys like Talltex and Mojo84.
When you are sworn in, you will not have the first clue on how to actually BE the police. I strongly suggest some patient, quiet, learning and putting in a couple years on the streets, on your own, before debating the pros and cons of tactical teams on the internet or publicly posting your excitement about ninja toys. The words "But my instructor said ______" will not serve you well in FTO or on the internet.
Hope this isn't too harsh. I've been there. I've gotten too loud too soon. Learn faster than I did.
