This is a link to a radio show which discusses the use of SWAT teams for regular law enforcement. One of the guests is the mayor of Berwyn Heights, whose home was raided and whose dogs were killed, by a SWAT team with no warrant. The raid on his house was conducted because a box of marijuana was delivered to his wife as part of a drug scheme that used random addresses for drug shipments; the conspirators would try to retrieve the boxes before the homeowners came home, or before actual delivery (with the help of deliverymen). The mayor asked if he would have been justified in shooting the invaders, and if anyone would have protested if he had been killed while trying to protect his home with a firearm.
