    It’s because the police don’t carry around assault rifles as a matter of course that’s why.

    If there is a hostage taker you want to negotiator not an attack force. If a negotiator goes to the property and it’s a false flag no issue.

    Sending in an armed force is literally the worst response in both real and false situations.

      You clearly don’t know the history behind why the SWAT teams were created. Educate yourself and then come back to us.
