An entire SWAT team in Hallandale Beach, Florida resigned on Friday in response to Police Chief Sonia Quinones kneeling with Black Lives Matter protesters. The police chief scheduled a meeting for Monday with the officers who resigned to hear their complaints. In a memo, the SWAT officers said in addition to being under trained and minimally equipped, they were outraged to see the police chief kneeling with political activists. “The team is minimally equipped, under trained and often times restrained by the politicization of our tactics to the extent of placing safety of dogs over the safety of the team members,” the officers wrote.

Good.
But did they resign resign, or just sorta resign.
Politicians in all positions need to be held to much higher standards; and face summary execution when they violate their oath of office (the courts, of course, don't think they should be held to their oath, that's so old school). Would cut down on the number of leftards seeking power that way.

police officers on SWAT teams are volunteers, usually - so they can keep their regular police officer positions, but not take the risks of SWAT team membership.

In order to get anywhere with these Police Chiefs who want to side with Thugs and Looters, EVERYONE has to resign. Then it forces the people who live there to either fire the Police Chief and get their Police back, or they will be left with a Chief and no other Security. You choose!

Black Lives Matter is not about black lives. It is a political tool used by a quasi-fascist political group to stoke paranoia, and it is being rejected by people of all colors.

Apparently being on a SWAT is voluntary duty. Surprised me, but so what? HB is a small city so the team would be small too. But will surrounding towns continue to help HB if HB can't reciprocate?
Why would a given officer want SWAT duty today? You can be fired, or worse, for a mistake and the rules are so complex you will make mistakes sooner or later.
Then after you do arrest someone they probably won't be prosecuted.

Minneapolis had a lesbian female police chief for years... Until she was drummed out because of controversy. But the lasting damage was done and the city is now stuck with the police officers that are a result of her... The shooting of the innocent woman from Australia by a Somalian Police officer in Minneapolis didn't seem to garner the riots...wonder why?

When soldiers and police don't believe their backs are covered by higher-ups they won't risk their own lives on our behalf. We suffer as a result

Too many girl police chiefs and mayors. They sorta resigned; I get it, but I wish they'd forced her to resign instead, or make sure she has no police support or protection wherever she goes. She can hire BLM and antifa thugs; you know she wants to.

Kneeling is a sign of submission or surrender. I fully support and commend the SWAT officers from resigning in response to Chief Sonia Quinones surrendering to the radicalized Black Live Movement. If officers are serving in these SWAT positions voluntarily they are unnecessarily risking their lives for leadership that obviously doesn't have their 6, and has sided with the opposition. I wonder if Chief Quinones was an affirmative action hire?

The successor to the Ferguson Effect is the Minneapolis Effect - police departments left without their special tactical squads and the police back off from active measures. It is going to be a long summer.

I am surprised to learn of so many police chiefs in this country who are women. (Not that there's anything wrong with that.) Are there any police chiefs who are men?

I have had several friends join the SWAT team. Typically, you are asked by the existing SWAT members, based on superior qualification scores with firearms, and consistent good headwork when the stuff is hitting the fan. That they feel like they aren't getting proper training and equipment, is hard enough for good officers to try to overcome, but if they have political problems making it impossible to do their jobs.....quitting is the right answer.
Good for them.

SWAT team resigns. Seriously, would the police chief have ever used them? She kneels in submission and appeasement. She'll never order in the SWAT team to handle anything. They might hurt someone. Can't have that.

Police departments over use their swat capabilities, to include the no knock warrants complete with battering rams, the armored vehicles, the combat fatigues and the automatic weapons. They are cops, not soldiers.
Maybe they would be less hated if they did a lot less swatting and a lot more blue uniform with eight pointed hat, .38 revolver and billy club type policing.
I'm no protester and I'm no danger to any policeman, but this trend is disturbing. What started out as a good idea in the 1970's has become a monster.

Police strikes seem in order right about now. Give these liberal morons a good taste of chaos and lawlessness.

She got the job because the city felt they needed a female in that office.
I am sure there were many males in the department much more qualified who wouldn't have kneeled.

Looks like Hallandale is like Kissimmee, mostly Latinos in office. How many police chiefs and fire captains are Affirmative Action, minority hires? Plenty.

When a police chief kneels to anarchists, I don't blame the SWAT team from quitting. In fact, the whole police dept. should have resigned.
