    They resigned from being swat team members - not police. They will still get paid, still collect pensions, etc.

    They said they were under-trained and under-equipped. So, this resignation is likely a good thing since an under-trained and under-equipped swat team is likely to do more harm than good.

    It is hard when you are wearing a badge and gun these days. Really sad though.

    Hallandale Beach SWAT resigns not over chief taking a knee, but lack of support, they say

    Sure the Gateway Punishment wouldn't use a misleading headline.

    But is it misleading?:

    So it wasn't the symbolic gesture of kneeling that was the last straw, it was that the symbolic act of kneeling showed a lack of support? Would it have been the last straw with no reference to Bowe even if the Vice Mayor knelt? So confused.

    The Swat team resigned from their assignment because they felt the kneeling was supporting the vice mayor who they had a beef with, not because they felt it supported BLM.
