Joe Hellandback July 29, 2018 Share July 29, 2018 1. SWAT don't actually do investigations (much like the FBI's BAU don't actually lead investigations and make arrests). 2. How about that Captain's office? Wow, can the LAPD really shell out money for something that size? Complete with artwork? 3. The bad guys always go down with one hit, never happens to the good guys. SWAT kick their guns away and just look at them rather than cuff them up and frisk them for more weapons. 4. SWAT have a quick look into the room and shout 'CLEAR!', they never check under the bed or in the cupboard or any of the other places the bad guys could be hiding. 5. After a shooting the team high-five and head off for a beer. They don't surrender their weapons for forensic exam, write endless reports, be interviewed by the Internal Affairs and remain suspended for several days until the psychologist says they're fit for duty, 2 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/57936-weapons-and-tactics-real-world-versus-tv-world-procedures/#findComment-4534321
Raja August 23, 2018 Share August 23, 2018 With The Closer back in syndication I am reminded that the City of Long Beach is not a Los Angeles division. Street, you don't transfer from Long Beach PD to LAPD much less SWAT. 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/57936-weapons-and-tactics-real-world-versus-tv-world-procedures/#findComment-4614401
Raja October 14, 2018 Share October 14, 2018 Just because you are not on a SWAT team call doesn't mean you patrol with a tee shirt with no body armor. 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/57936-weapons-and-tactics-real-world-versus-tv-world-procedures/#findComment-4749580
Mars477 October 3, 2019 Share October 3, 2019 This show really doesn't hold a candle to Flashpoint, even in that show's later seasons where it was the most Hollywood. Season 1 Flashpoint was so, good, though. SWAT on the other hand has all the verisimilitude of a Michael Bay movie. 1 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/57936-weapons-and-tactics-real-world-versus-tv-world-procedures/#findComment-5647799
Forsaken October 4, 2019 Share October 4, 2019 I'm not sure if real SWAT personnel are such hardcore SJW's. 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/57936-weapons-and-tactics-real-world-versus-tv-world-procedures/#findComment-5650461
