    Isn’t it amazing how you can “SWAT” (from the looks of it that weren’t special forces btw.) someone by knocking on the door, instead of blasting through it and charging in, ready to shoot anything that moves?

    That’s something you can do if you don’t have to be afraid of shotguns and full-auto rifles when going into random people’s houses.

      If they don’t have to worry about guns, then why do they have guns drawn?

        Because they worry about any other weapon? Or the extremely rare case that someone actually has a highly dangerous fire arm? My point is that they can have much less drastic standard procedures (and equipment), because the standard scenario of operation is significantly less threatening.

        There are special forces that get involved with the real shit. But the bar for real shit here is someone has any gun.
