I know I wouldn't make a SWAT Team, but I have enormous respect for them and all police officers who put their lives on the line every day.
So far, the only experience I have had with a SWAT Team is watching them (I think it was a SWAT Team) guarding the Tampa Courthouse when Sami Al-Arian (sp?) was going in to be on trial for terrorism.
I watched them warily as I worked downtown at the time and was worried what would happen if violence broke out.
