A paramilitary police unit known as "SWAT" raided a mans house because overgrown grass in his front yard violated a city ordinance.

Soon we'll see heavily armed thugs VIOLENTLY storming into people's homes, shooting their pets, damaging their property, emotionally traumatizing young children, and terrorizing citizens over things as trivial as an unpaid parking ticket.

If anyone reading this thread has worked in law enforcement, tell me, is this not something that two or three plain-uniformed police officers could have peacefully resolved by simply knocking on the homeowner's door and telling him that if he didn't cut his grass that he would be fined or cited to court?

Police militarization has gotten completely out of control and is now a frightening problem here in the land of the free.

Sensationalizing bullshit is his specialty. You are doing a good job of replicating that here.

The SWAT team went there because he enforcement officers were met with a shotgun.
He's lucky to be alive.

Even that is a generally poor reason for SWAT being called.

Ignoring the fact that the OP didn't read the article he linked to, it sounds more like the SWAT team was called because it turned in to a stand-off. Though it's not clear and is certainly possible SWAT was called as soon as the guy pointed his gun at the people, which would be, IMO, an overreaction.

Agreed, it may only be that the SWAT needed practice that week.
However, saying that the SWAT was called out because the grass was long is a gross misrepresentation of the situation.
 
SWAT teams are being used to serve routine arrest warrants for nonviolent misdemeanor offenses.

Originally, SWAT teams were meant only to be used in rare situations such as bank robberies, armed standoffs, hostage takings, barricaded suspects, active shooter events, violent crimes in progress, etc...

But today they are used to serve arrest warrants for trivial crimes, and in many other common and routine law enforcement situations in which they otherwise would not be needed.

Here is an article written by a retired police veteran talking about the frightening use and expansion of militarized police in America.

who you talkin to dummy? aint nobody talkin to yo stinky stupid ass
 
I don't disagree that that swat teams are overused, but it hurts the argument to claim they were being used for a reason for which they clearly weren't.
 
One might ask the local cops if they have a department policy to respond with SWAT when weapons are pulled in public. Pointing a shotgun is likely to get a justifiably strong response.
 
SWAT teams are being used to serve routine arrest warrants for pettier and pettier crimes.
 
Sometimes maybe they need to. A couple years ago a local deputy was shot in the face and killed when the father of the person he was serving the warrant on opened the door.
