I really don't have anything against SWAT teams. Sometimes you need them--and when you do, you need them right now.. The problem is, they're expensive to train and maintain, and they are really needed only rarely--a hostage situation, or something of that sort. It's hard for the bureaucrats to justify the cost for something that may only be needed twice a year in a city the size of Tulsa.

Onward and upward,
