William “Dub”
Lawrence is the former sheriff of Davis County, Utah where he created
and trained the state's very first SWAT team several decades ago.
However, he came to regret having ever founded that tactical unit in
September of 2008 when the police were summoned by his daughter
because her husband had suffered an emotional breakdown.

Brian had
barricaded himself in his pickup truck where he threatened to commit
suicide while holding a gun to his head. Instead of defusing the
volatile situation, the SWAT team proceeded to ratchet up the
tension, ultimately ending the standoff by emptying 111 rounds into
the vehicle, a lethal mix of of live ammo, flash-bomb grenades,
pepper balls, rubber bullets, tasers and explosive devices.

Dub partially
blames himself for his son-in-law's unnecessary death, because he'd
helped enforce the commanding officer's order that his daughterPeace
Officer proves to be the cinematic equivalent of a canary in the coal
mine, as it issues a dire warning to the government to get SWAT
teams under control before either the people revolt or the U.S. turns
into a Fascistic police state.
