SWAT Night-Raiders Quit Over Rules Banning Dog Murder

by | Jun 16, 2020

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.

The officers sent a letter to Hallandale Beach Police Chief Sonia Quinones, saying they were “minimally equipped, under trained and often times restrained by the politicization of our tactics to the extent of placing the safety of dogs over the safety of the team members.”

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.
