What everyone is calling "paramilitary" should have seen Darryl Gates' original mock up when he formed the LAPD SWAT team! That team was originally outfitted and equipped the exact same as small military units. I hate to break everyone's precious little hearts.....but SWAT teams across America have saved more lives than they have taken!! |
Where was SWAT during the LA riots?
Billion$ in property losses, 60 murders.
Two cops sent to fed prison (one named Koon, paid $5.25/month slave wages).
Fired police chief Gates is now paid $125,000/year pension.
It took armed citizens defending themselves to stop the violence.
And Rodney King was paid $7-million for a speeding ticket in a Hyundai Excell (the worlds slowest car).

Why cops hate videocams
Gates ran LAPD Intelligence and Organized Crime section extortion rackets, spying on politicians and rich folks. LAPD cops working Intel had to pass a lie detector test, while LYING. All Intel sections of all police depts are used to spy on prominent local citizens, not criminals, with promotion of the Intel dicks to police chief, "to keep the secrets secret". Basically, who's having adulterous sex with whose wife?
Quote:
"Officers were on the streets as an occupying force. The civilians were enemies to be subdued. LAPD instructors taught recruits, 'All niggers are fucked. Don't ever forget that.' False arrests were routine. The police department was a corps of individual vigilantes on the public payrole. It was kangaroo justice. We were taught, 'don't hit a suspect in the face, if you do, you simply say the suspect ducked or moved.' If you don't like how someone looks, pull him over and see what's under his fingernails. You can always find P.C. (probable cause) later. Follow anyone for a block and he's sure to commit an infraction. But even if he doesn't, you can always say he crossed a double yellow line, he was following too close, something like that. Defense attorneys could rarely shake the testimony of a polite, earnest, diligent, lying cop. If a crooked cop didn't want to beat up a docile citizen, all he had to do was stick him with a hidden needle, or simply pinch him in the scrotum or under the armpit. That way any witnesses could testify that the citizen flinched or took a swing at the poor cop. When citizens are sitting in their cars, the way to escalate an assault is to flick a finger in the citizen's eyeball. Not even passengers could see the cop's illegal provocation. A whistleblower [cop] would be snuffed out before he got his lips puckered. The idea was to find a fight and then wade in like a cop from hell. Cops, by and large, were excellent judges of somebody's socioeconomic standing. Staunch, middle class citizens didn't expect to be frisked, for instance, for routine traffic violations. Especially when there hadn't been any violation. In 1991, the city lost $14,685,000 in excessive force settlements, judgements and awards. That man and his family were living in a police state that closed ranks around its torturers and psychopaths and protected them. Some loonies did manage to bluff their way through the department's psychological screenings. These were crazies whose ultimate goal was to waste someone, lunatics who liked nothing better than to inflict pain. Cops who didn't make the grade were termed 'mouse meat'. SWAT teams used the slogan 'death to the enemy.' Chief Gates declared to Congress that 'casual drug users should be shot,' even though his own son was a drug addict. Police snipers kept lapel pins made from the shell casings of their kills."
