You may want to look at moving to Philly then. ;)

For some reason this doesn't make me feel safer.

Maybe if some of the events were:
* How to vet data provided by an informant for reliability.
* How to perform a no knock warrant on the CORRECT house.
* How to enter a home and not shoot all the dogs.

I know exactly what you mean. We should move to the mountains and live in a one room shack that is easily defensible, just in case the Government SWAT guys try to take us down! They know we're on to them about being in cahoots with the Gray aliens who are trying to terraform the planet. I've already had to dig the implant out of my brain with a salad fork to keep the Government SWAT guys from listening to my thoughts. They think they're so clever, but you and me, we've got their number! We'll show them all!!

I think this is great news. Bravo Zulu to Mpls SWAT!

It seems like every time I turn on the news there's another incident involving the Twin Cities Somali community and terrorist activities. I fear it's just a matter of time before they start causing trouble domestically for us. I'm glad that our local guys are receiving the necessary training to deal with these kinds of problems. We have a potentially really serious problem here than very few other places around the country are experiencing - yet anyways.

I was thinking the same thing.

Makes one wonder about the competition.

I've shot with some of these guys and they are quality. Congrats!

Though honestly I thought this was a joke at first..Canadian national nuclear facility security team? Really? :lol:

On second thought The Canucks probably have TONS of time to practice, since they are not doing any real work anyhow. ;)
