I'll bet you $100 those SWAT deployment figures are so low because they aren't counting all the warrants they have them serve as deployments. Departments use them constantly for that kind of stuff. They love to hut hut around and play soldier.

Side note....did you read about those 150 Americans they chose randomly, and then stripped them of their right to vote as well as their right to firearms? It's funny how I could spread that fake story and people would lose their minds talking about a government not long to stand. Yet, if I say that 150 unarmed Americans were murdered by agents of the state who were violating their civil liberties under color of authority you'll cite the national population and say that shows great professionalism. Oh....the FBI is about to stop tracking those stats since only 57% of total LEO reported to them for the 2021 numbers. Just 44% reported the year prior.

This entire bizzaro world of where it's patriotic to support a group of revenue generators for the state being able to murder someone because, "Well....he took a breath faster then the previous one and I was sure he had a SAW system in your pocket....so me and Fred shot him 37 times. Well....we shot at him 37 times. But a few hit him. Some random house of someone in that area luckily took all the wayward rounds for us!", meaning it takes a true patriot to understand that our rights are all based on supporting someone who will allow you to die or end you themselves if they even see a shadow that makes them think that you mean him harm and are planning his demise.
