anyone watch that show on A&E? lots of EOTech Holosites... i love seeing the local guys use the same stuff I have! |
| I might have watched a season of Dallas Swat and noticed after they got done demolishing a facility a suspect was thought to be in, they would only net a few arrests and little (if any) convictions. They were so proud of wrecking buildings, mis-stating "automatic weapons" that I just took them out of my program lineup. I can see cool weapons on plenty of other shows. YMMV |
I lost all respect when they rappelled off the roof of a one story building to raid a "modeling studio". End of show it was shown that they didn't make any arrests. Less than impressive. |
I've not seen this episode, but have heard of it plenty of times. Whenever "Dallas Swat" show comes up in discussion this episode is always up for a good laugh. The "Swedish Modeling Institute", was a whore house, that was open for business for a couple years. I was always surprised how it continued to stay open...out in the open.

Yep, one episode they pretty much ripped the front off of a suspected drug house and ended up getting one guy inside with a small personal use amount of pot on him (i don't even think they arrested him). |
It was the Sweedish Massage Institute. There used to be one on Mark IV Parkway, just down the road from cheaper Than Dirt, in Fort Worth. And no, I've never been a customer there. |
| They went to Houston before they approached Dallas about the show. The SWAT Lt told the producers of how they train 90 % of the time and its not as exciting as it may seem. Would make for a pretty boring show, so they packed up and went to Dallas. Didn't one of the guys on the show get arrested for picking up a crackwhore prostitute? |

Kansas City SWAT is just as bad about the "no arrest" thing. last episode I watched they did 3 raids and a car chase, neither one did they get the person they were after. They all said "He/She IS there" and then later said "They were arrested later". Im not an LEO so I cant sit here and talk too much smack, but you would think a little more info would b gathered first... IMO |
