What Is The Name Of The Movie When The Repair Men Go In To A Swat Hq And They Are Bad

SWAT officers practicing their tactics.

"S.W.A.T. is a life-saving arrangement, non a life-taking one. That's why the FBI and Secret Service come here to railroad train with united states of america."

Sometimes, fifty-fifty the cops have to dial 911.

One of the more iconic, recognizable, and dramatic images of law enforcement, a Due southpecial Weapons And Tactics Team cuts an firsthand and dramatic effigy in any crime drama, police serial, or other story that immediately tells everyone present that the situation is deadly serious. They are usually called in for hostage scenarios, fortified and armed suspects, loftier-risk warrant raids, anarchism command, and terrorist threats. SWAT teams are easily recognizable, clad in black/blueish wearable, helmets, body armor, and wielding heavy weaponry, such as assault rifles or shotguns. They also use special tactical gear like flashbang grenades, and travel in armored vehicles. They unremarkably wear masks, be they balaclavas or gas masks, both for practical reasons (most balaclavas are fireproof, and gas masks help when dealing with tear gas) and to assistance go on them bearding and impossible to read.

The role of the SWAT team in fiction varies depending on the work in question. If they're on the heroes' side, they can be either elite, well-equipped problem solvers, the rescue party who bursts in to save the day, or inept or ill-fated mooks who die to show how dangerous the villains are. In other works, a SWAT squad can serve as a Hero Adversary if they oppose a protagonist who is falsely defendant or otherwise principled but on the wrong side of the constabulary. If the protagonists are criminals, a SWAT team is frequently the faceless masses that exist to get gunned down, or a major threat to the protagonists. In very cynical works involving a Crapsack World or dystopia, the SWAT team can be State Sec made up of Dirty Cops. Effectiveness and function generally depends on the Sliding Calibration of Law Enforcement.

SWAT teams in fiction are ofttimes inaccurately portrayed equally opening fire immediately on suspects, or otherwise being Trigger Happy, or fifty-fifty deliberately killing suspects who present no immediate threat. In reality, as the folio quote shows, SWAT serves every bit a life-saving police unit. The platonic objective when a SWAT team is sent in is that anybody—earnest, bystander, operator, and doubtable—comes out alive. SWAT officers have very specific procedures they normally have to follow; for example, a SWAT officer is supposed to clearly identify himself to a doubtable, and tin can just open fire if the suspect raises a weapon or otherwise presents a threat to the life or safety of some other. Of course, law procedures in a fictional setting may also deliberately diverge from existent life, and even in reality, not all jurisdictions take the same standards.

In contempo years, the deployment of SWAT teams in real life has been increasingly called into question. Originally intended to reply to situations that, typically, would exist unlikely to be encountered even once in any given officer's entire career, the vast bulk of SWAT deployments are at present to execute arrest and search warrants, often confronting non-violent offenders. Radley Balko's not-fiction book Rise Of The Warrior Cop covers a lot of the history of SWAT - noting that in the LAPD standoff with the Symbionese Liberation Army, the SWAT squad asked for a Grenade Launcher and were told in no uncertain terms that they did not have permission to obtain or utilize ane. Fastforward to the nowadays 24-hour interval, and hundreds of surplus grenade launchers, fifty-calibre motorcar guns, and armoured vehicles have been given to Police forces across America - despite the fact that fierce crime has been failing for decades. Indeed, in the late 2010'due south "SWATting" attacks (where a hoax call is used to try and bait a SWAT squad into raiding someone'southward business firm — leading to a fatality shortly after the Christmas in 2022) take become a serious outcome. Specially amongst Youtubers, livestreamers, and other online celebrities.

On the other paw, proponents argue that the heavy equipment being distributed to SWAT is more necessary now more than always. A major catalyst for this argument was the 2008 Mumbai attacks, where Indian police were completely outmatched against the attackers and led to a SWAT squad being formed after the fact. With the institution of ISIS as well as al-Qaida shifting to a more than decentralized operating structure, terrorist attacks involving multiple attackers armed with heavy weapons and armor take become increasingly commonplace, such as the attacks in Paris in Jan and Nov 2022 followed by the Dec 2022 San Bernardino attack. During the Bataclan siege in Paris, RAID officers credited their armed services-grade equipment with saving their lives.

May too be referred to as ESU (Emergency Service Unit) in the many shows well-nigh New York City Cops.
