Feels like swat only ever shows up for optics to make the public feel safer.

1. They are always far too late, which makes sense because you cant just teleport a swat team, they have to gear up and move out.

1. They are generally over-geared to the point of near combat ineffectiveness. Look at those dudes, they're so covered in body armor that they couldn't possible maneuver practically during any firefight. Even the army doesn't wear that much armor. Hell they don't even like to wear knee pads in the military because they become cumbersome and get in the way. But hey, dumb normies see that shit on TV and go "Ooooh thank god the tacticool police juggernauts are keeping me safe."

1. Whens the last time Swat prematurely ended a mass shooting?
