SOCIOPATHS AND THE SWAT TEAM
Quite a number of articles have been written about the “wrong” types of people being drawn into the ranks of SWAT teams. For example, Al Lorentz, former Marine sniper; former Airborne Ranger in the Texas National Guard wrote:
"I have a confession to make, as a professional soldier: I don’t like SWAT teams. I don’t like the concept of SWAT teams. I don’t like the way SWAT teams are deployed. And, having trained many SWAT team members, I don’t like very many of the ‘men’ in the SWAT teams either. Nothing personal you understand, I just have a low tolerance for cowards who brutalize and terrorize people and pretend that it makes them some sort of hero. While I realize that there are some exceptions to this (you know who you are), by and large SWAT teams are populated with authoritarian cowards, sociopaths, thugs, goons, and other human refuse."
Norm Stamper former Seattle Police Chief in his excellent book “Breaking Rank – A top Cops Expose’ of the Dark Side of American Policing” has expressed similar views about the wrong kind of people at times becoming members of the police.
Readers are directed to the following site:

which shows the McKinney Texas SWAT team in action – all to the tune of Hed Pe’s metal song “It's Killing Time”. Be sure to listen to the lyrics.
Also note the comments to the site by Officer Damian Guerrero who leads the McKinney SWAT team:
“i was one of the team members in the pictures. those came out freakin awesome!!! very motivating!!!

Readers should know that Damian has been involved in shooting citizens before (eerily reminiscent of Officer Christopher Long - the cop charged with murdering Peyton Strickland) under very suspicious circumstances. (Watch the dockets of Texas Federal Courts for more to come on our boy Damian and his band of ninjas.)
Here we don't simply have another example of an out of control, unneeded SWAT team - this one has a difference - they have a theme song! Just imagine how cool they feel breaking into private homes, shooting the places up, endangering occupants and neighbors all while humming their very own theme song "It's Killing Time"? HOW MOTIVATING!
Watch and listen to the video, read Damian’s comments and then make your own opinion regarding sociopaths and certain SWAT team members. Nick has his own opinion (protected under the First Amendment) – you can draw your own.

Your obviously very uneducated about the way SWAT teams operate and what their goals are. Military = shoot first, ask questions later. SWATs goal is to sucessfully resolve every situation with the minimal use of force necessary. If an operator shoots someone, that means the suspect put another person at risk of serious bodily injury. And one other thing. You make it sound like SWAT breaks into random private residences without reason. If SWATs at your door then you definately have done something wrong. SWAT is used for HIGH RISK warrants. (Dope dealers and warrants on suspects with violent tendancies). Don't belive this junk you read people. If SWAT wasn't putting themselves on the line then this country would be full of murderers, druggies and gangs that everyone else would be scared to step up and deal with.
