Florida Swat Team Resign Over “Political Climate” And Prioritizing Safety Of Dogs Over Team Members.
The Nation has lost control over the death of George Floyd, rioting, looting and violence becomes the “new normal”. Earlier, California looters turned on each other as they brawl over looted clothing.
Now, all 10 members of the swat team in Hallendale Beach, Florida have resigned, citing the “political climate” and safety concerns in a letter sent to the department’s Police chief.
The letter to Chief Sonia Quinones is dated June 9, and the team members said they were “minimally equipped, under trained and often times restrained by the politicization of our tactics to the extent of placing the safety of dogs over the safety of the team members.”
The team members added that their current situation and several recent local events have made officers increasingly hesitant, which “creates safety issues that cannot be ignored or overlooked.”
“Until these conditions and sentiments are rectified and addressed, we cannot safely, effectively and in good faith carry out duties in this capacity without putting ourselves and our families at this needless increased level of risk,” the officers wrote.

Weigh in your thoughts in the comment section
The mayor has publicly said about these resignations, “I think I have the gall to stand up to their intimidation tactics because justice for victims like Howard Bowe is far more important than worrying about letters like this,”
Translation, its politically viable for him to cut budget this way and play the odds they won’t be needed
Fuck you for writing your article like this, and fuck that Swat Team. Ignorant pieces of shit like yourself just label all of this about rioting, looting, and violence. You make no mention of peaceful protests or the reasons other than George Floyd why they might be doing this. You are an absolute piece of trash that deserves to be dragged in to the street and dealt with.
Ahhhh the redditt brain trust is here to spend their few brain cells to show how moronic they are
Lmaoooo this dude named abercrombie really thinks he said something here. Nothing actually useful to say so you spit drivel in the hopes it makes you look smarter. If the swat team (who literally signed up to be in harm’s way) can’t take a “climate” that holds them accountable for their actions, maybe they should just quit and find a job that suits them better. And if the “harm” is citizens peacefully protesting, well then the swat team can either “love it or leave it” as you all love to say.
I assume you sit either have a 9-5 job or a job that doesn’t put you in harms way, unless you’ve been a cop, swat member, military, operator etc… dont talk about these matter since you dont know what the fuck you’re talking about.
I work construction, A job that statistically is MORE dangerous than that of a police officer.
The law enforcement culture is toxic, it’s created an “us VS them” mentality instead of a serve and protect mentality. It needs to be disbanded and rebuilt from the ground up.
Yes. I had the same thoughts. The author states “ The Nation has lost control over the death of George Floyd, rioting, looting and violence becomes the “new normal”. Earlier, California looters turned on each other as they brawl over looted clothing.” as though these were the real focus of the peaceful demonstrations. No where is that mentioned. Good riddance to a section of domestic policing that has absolutely no purpose, even if only in one police department. It’s a start.
Good they are not needed. Scumbag cops want to play army and kill at will. We are better off with them gone.
The fact that they have all these personal issues with doing their job means they just aren’t necessary. Good riddance. Now we can spend the same money wasted on them in a more responsible form of public service.
The world needs cops, but cops need oversight. No one polices the police. They need to abide by the rules the rest of us do. “We investigated ourselves and found ourselves not guilty” doesn’t work anymore. In large metro areas all cops need body cams and if their testimony doesn’t match the footage charges need to be dropped. If the body cam is lost or off in an instance where a death occurs there needs to be consequences.
Let’s hope every SWAT team out there quits and they resign from the police force. Anyone who wants to be part of SWAT is a thug and has no business being a cop. #DefundSWAT
And when someone comes to rape your wife or children and you need help…well, good luck with that. Idiot.
Yes because cops are there now. Oh. Wait.
Doesn’t your 2A gun right enable you to fend for yourself?
defund the police also commenly known as giving police worse training meaning more deaths and violence, if only you’d use some common sense the world would be a lot better
Just build 70ft tall concrete walls around CHAZ and move all the people complaining about the police in this “cop-free” zone.
Flash news: There is no such thing as a “police brutality problem” in America, only a black behavior problem.
This person sounds real uneducated. Susie q can’t you see roam is falling you scared now eh
What’s wrong with you?
Hahaha what did they need a SWAT team for in case the local strip clubs like Scarletts got rowdy? Hahahaha maybe someone stole a Cuban sandwich from a Publix? This article is hilarious. My grandma lives in Hallandale.
in case there’s an active shooter killing black people in a church because he’s racist. Did you even think before commenting ?
Sadly they regret they’ll not being able to beat up many more blacks. F ’em, now let’s hire some real professional police officers not these right-wing tRumptards.
