My former neighbor had a SWAT team trying to arrest him when he was holding his family hostage. They lost him when he got away and hid in a neighbor's yard. I moved out of the neighborhood the next day.

There was a TV series in the '70s that was the original incarnation named SWAT. Colin Farrell was in the big screen movie in 2003. Shamar Moore is on the TV reboot that is currently on air.

I love the TV show & try to watch it every week but since it comes on at midnight on Sun night I can't always stay up :( ! The guy that plays the leader, Lamar something, is one beautiful specimen of a man!

A not so known fact of HOW n why this unit was enacted is there was a Texas sniper who held a host of college students and citizens in Horror for over 8 hours of madness. At the time there were no cell phones it was 1960!! A couple of University Security personnel brave n courageous men risked their lives after viciously shooting of over 8 subdued the sniper even though they were wounded! Look it up!

There was a series called SWAT in the 70's. It was headlined by Steve Forrest. The 2003 series was a remake. Incidentally, the first real SWAT chief was AA, in California.

Deadpool1513, I so love that they are kind enough to give us these lovely hints from time to time. If you are not being challenged, you could get on Jeopardy or find a more difficult internet game.
