They enhance the use of deadly force and promote officers who share those values, while damaging the reputation of officers who do not follow it.“Sgt says in the lawsuit, as quoted by the LA Times.

According to Colomey’s allegations, the department expels officers who do not use lethal force and who opt for conflict management options. “These agents are branded as cowards by the SWAT mafia”, Ensures the lawsuit.

The division between the sergeant and the elite team of LAPD, of which it was a part, began in 2018 after an internal investigation that occurred as a result of an anonymous complaint. At the time, Colomey would have commented against the way in which SWAT operated.
