    Its not incompetence. Its by design. The more SWAT goes out, the more they’re justified. SWAT teams exist to increase the spending of police. Those expenditures go to military contractors.

    Its the same reason the US is ceaselessly involved in war since WW2. For money.

      It didn’t happen in the US though, so I’m not sure why that’s relevant.

        The US sells weapons globally. And they’ve overthrown whole governments that didn’t fall in line with their military and economic goals.

        Germany has their own military industrial complex. See Ukraine. But nobdy in the world is anywhere near as crazy as y’alls
