SWAT came to Breda's town and interrupted some guy's TeeVee watchin' with a flashbang. Surprise! They were responding to a call from his girlfriend because apparently he was tired of putting up with her. For this they get a junk on the bunk shot (one plastic Austrian pistol that went with his toter's permit and... nuthin...), and send him for psychiatric examination because she was sure that he'd be suicidal since he was no longer with her (I mean, who wouldn't be?). They gotta account for the property damage somehow, I guess.
Criminy
What's the next SWAT overkill story gonna be?
"Officer, my cat, Snookums, is stuck up in a tree, can you send someone to help me get him down?"
"Don't worry ma'am. SWAT is bored and hasn't really been putting their expensive taxpayer-funded training to use. We'll send them over and if the flash bang doesn't get Snookums to surrender, we'll go full breach!"
Why do we tolerate our police playing soldier when there is a perfectly good military where turn in their civilian creds and actually BE a soldier. Someone could get HURT by these reckless bastages.

Next Swat Overkill story? From the Near Future: "Police Swat Teams were sent in to investigate reports of Gun Fire emanating from a Farm outside of Cleveland yesterday. A siege has ensued, with 17 Officers and One Civilian killed. Reports coming from the scene say that a Member of a Maryland Militia was seen waving an illegal imported Argentinean Assault Pistol at the Officers when they arrived on the scene, screaming "it hurts, it hurts!" When he was shot 127 times, the Militia Death Squad opened fire on the Police, using 17 shots to kill 17 Officers. Wait a minute, this just in. The President has announced a State of Martial Law exists, and has departed in Air Force One to an undisclosed location. Vice-President Joe Biden has ordered Predator Drones over the Scene, while Secretary of State Clinton has called an Emergency Session of the UN to ask for help from the People's Republic of China for Troops to aid in "putting down this Rebellion from the Vast Right Wing Conspiracy." More after the break.
Well, it COULD happen.
SWAT might be a bit less expensive if they stopped scarfing up military gear from the DoD. I mean how many times has that APC actually been used? They would also be less expensive to train and safer to the community if they practice the skills that they use, instead of a bunch of high speed low drag stuff. For example, how many times has SWAT needed to use all that training time rappelling in an actual operation?
your sling on the M1A is on backwards! Rotate 180 degrees and set the upper hook about 8 notches from the end. Then the sling can be tight in the 'Parade Position'.
Bob. I took that pic the moment I got the M1A home from Fulton. Within half an hour is was on correctly and adjusted to fit me.
I've been experimenting with other slings since then but I'm not happy with them and may go back.
