The Black Panther situation is entirely misrepresented here. The group were attacked by the police who were forcefully trying to evict them. You should do a video or make an edit. Cause this was police brutality. The police even tried to cover it up. So video or an edit would really help showing people what really happened. It should be mentioned that the Black Panther shootout was provoked by the police. Due to political and racial reasons ( which was very common at the time ) the police was forcing the people inside the house saying they are there to evict them even though they paid rent. Intimidation tactics and threats by the police soon lead to provocation of violence started by the police who later trying to cover it up by using their nails to create holes only one confirmed shot by the Black Panthers. This was discovered on a investigation. The SWATs wounded several of them for being in a civil rights movement. Both the FBI and police under the leadership of J.Edgar Hoover were battling civil rights groups. This raid wasn’t covered by the NEWS since it was a common sight at the time. Note this is covered by historians and has hard evidence such as investigation reports. You can also search it up. I can’t post any links unfortunately cause youtube deletes them.

A small correction would be: GSG9 is not just a "regular" SWAT team. They are the tier-1 domestic counter-terrorism unit of Germany which most closely resembles a mix between the FBI HRT (due to being the federal polices tactical team) and the SAS (due to their equipment and training). The regular SWAT teams in Germany are called SEK (Spezialeinsatzkommando)

​@@ethanor They helped with training when Delta Force was founded in 1977. And probably still train with each other regularly. So yes; there is some significant overlap in both units capabilities and training. But there are also important differences. Mainly due to Delta being a military unit and GSG9 being a civilian/police unit. Which for instance grants GSG9 non-combatant status if deployed in foreign countries. Or causes GSG9 to put much more emphasis on taking any perpetrators alive, even if that means a higher risk.

As someone who both is interested in the history and also knowing a few SWAT guys since I was a kid, I got to say this is a very solid history video on the subject. Nice work, I will always appreciate SWAT history. Interestingly enough here's a treat for some of yall in comment section, the reason it got changed to Special Weapons And Tactics was because they were trying to drive home the concept of SWAT being a life saving organization and not a military force. It kind of worked since in media where a SWAT team is the main focus, the phrase "SWAT is a life saving organization, not a life taking one." is almost always used at some point. From the show/movie SWAT to the Police Quest SWAT video games, you name it.

One pretty cool thing is how different SWAT teams can be too. Most are part time, added on top of patrol duties, but LA and Houston have a full time team, that I know of for sure at least. Houston PD SWAT also has a fully auto FN P90 issued. Always thought that was cool.

Not true. A typical 5.56 weighs only 62 grains. A typical 9mm ranges from 112-160 grains depending on the ammo type. The big difference is the speed. A 9mm might fly at about 1300 fps tops, whereas a 5.56 can top 3000 fps. Speed is where the bulk of the energy comes from, not mass.

Always wanted to learn more about SWAT teams. Thanks Simple History!

In US you have SWAT. They usually do missions in 5 to 10 man groups. In Poland, we have CBŚP. They always do missions with more than 40 man in one room. Also 4:28 Ready or Not reference.

0:45 the GIGN is part of the Gendarmerie, which makes them soldiers since the Gendarmerie is considered military, that’s the reason why some of them work and operate outside of french soil. But you could name, in terms of police, the GIPN or RAID.

Members of the GIGN are called operators and they are a Special Operations unit for Law Enforcement but also function as a military unit as they've been deployed to Afghanistan in the 2000s during the GWOT to carry out raids so yeah I guess it's a mixture of soldiering and policing.

The FBI also has and is capable of working and operating outside of US soil. But it’s also more common for a “Gendarmerie” to be under the military, it’s just usually how it goes with the way gendarmeries are meant to be set up.

I went to MetroCon this year, one of the days of the con I saw two fully geared SWAT officers with their carbines out but kinda just resting across their torsos, figure for quick access or something. They were nice, I regret not asking if I could have a photo taken with them tho, but I imagine it would've been a firm no due to them needing to be alert or such anyway. That's my one and only experience meeting and speaking to a SWAT member, 9/10 was pretty cool.

Some SWAT teams in the U.S. have received backlash from some people in their communities for switching to military camouflage uniforms. Those people claim it makes them more military then police. Personally I don't care what color they where as long as the uniform keeps them safe. I do like the look of the black and blue uniform more sense those are my favorite colors.

Wow, sounds pretty interesting, like a prototype of swat teams

When it comes to video games about SWAT, Ready or Not is definitely one of the most realistic games out there, the SWAT is well represented. You get access to a fistful of weapon types, as well as non-lethal weapons and gadgets. You communicate with each other through your microphones and you can see each other's bodycam as well. You decide together on which approach you take and learn how to breach and clear effectively. Either you use C4 or shoot the door hinges to gain entry, while being wary of sneaky door traps. Securing the hostages always comes first, so you need to watch your fire. Thanks to Ready or Not, you can experience being part of the SWAT from the luxury of your computer screen. Great video as always, Simple History! I've learned more because of your videos than at school. P.S., the SAS wasn't named at 0:39, although the SAS is quite well known since the siege of the Iranian embassy in London, 1980.

Good work as usual. I will never be a fan of police but this channel almost always does an excellent job.

Actually, S.W.A.T are a consider as a part of heavily armed enforcers to deal such high risk task that normal police can't do... Different countries have different naming, and their task role sometimes differently depending the situations... But still, they have one familiar role: They are Police, but also Paramilitary (in some country). Their role is eliminate any high threat such as terrorist attacks, hostage rescue, brutal shootout or cases. Their armed arsenals are Mil-Grade issues which gain superior firepower or having a decent force against the terrorists or others cases such as a Former Military units turns criminals shooters. Also have high CQC and Urban combat tactics for deal such high intelligence threats. Even so, if there's a case that not even S.W.A.T can handle it,then the last resort is the National Army or Special Force to deal it (US are mostly National Guard). These are T1 CT forces and even they capable to call out the Combat vehicles such as APC, IFV, or even MBT if need. Also they have Armed Helicopter for Aerial Support if need.

Interesting video as always. On a side note the GIGN is a military unit, the french equivalent of the SWAT would be the RAID. SInce the Gendarmerie (which the GIGN comes from) is a branch of the french military.
