The problem is that every rural county sheriff's office and podunk city police force now has a "SWAT" team that has nowhere near the training that the early examples of the idea have.

That Sheriff's office not only has a poorly trained SWAT, they also have a military surplus armored personnel carrier, a few shoulder launched rockets just in case things get a little dicey, and extensive reinforcement of the idea that everyone's out to get them and they have to react quickly with the maximum amount of force or their lives are in jeopardy.
