SWAT Night-Raiders Quit Over Rules Banning Dog Murder

Well, Pete, looks like maybe you were right.

In South Florida, 10 officers resigned from their city’s SWAT unit over concerns about safety, saying they feel “restrained by the politicization of our tactics,” according to documents obtained by CNN.

They also said they were displeased after the command staff took a knee with activists and others during a demonstration on Monday, according to the letter.
