It's just a patch that can't hurt you the human that is wearing bleeds just like the rest of us. It's something to use as an intimidation factor
Maybe I'm missing something but I doubt hardened criminals will give a fuck less about a patch, maybe a little school boy but not grown men.
I think it is inappropriate...U.S. Special Forces, YES.... but not a civilian police force.
They're to protect and to serve.... not be mercenaries.

Isn't "protect" and "serve" the job of the military also? What is the difference between a 25 year old special forces guy being asked to confront an armed and violent stranger to "protect" America, and a 25 year old swat guy being asked to confront an armed and violent stranger to "protect" his city, county, state or, in extreme cases, his country also (like 9-11)?
There are violent threats all over the world, including at home. We need a-type men who are willing to risk their lives, as well as put their loved ones through stressful nights of worry, to protect us from that. Those men like a certain level of macho culture, else they'd quit and no longer want the job.
I could understand not wanting the Mayberry County Sheriff deputy who is doing career day at Mayberry Elementary having that patch. But a SWAT team that is meant only for confronting the worst and most dangerous situations inside our borders? Seems ok to me. I dont want metrosexual, hair gelling men who wear pink to be carrying assault rifles and swat vests into the school that is being shot up if my kid is in that school. I want the swat guy who is personally pissed and has a skull tattoo on his arm, who has trained and lived for the day this evil bastard shot up a school.
Sorry folks, our nation is becoming more violent and dangerous with time. Our cops, especially swat cops, must meet force with force. And men who are willing to do that are the type of men who would join Army special forces.........or want a skull on their swat patch.
