Next episode of Dallas Swat?
Earlier posts here, here and here focused on the danger of local police forces use of highly-armed SWAT teams for routine, non-violent police work, a phenomenom that spawned A&E Network's Dallas SWAT reality show. Well, according to this Dallas Morning News article (h/t Radley Balko), one of the "stars" of the Dallas SWAT show -- Senior Cpl. Johnny Baker -- was recently fired from the police force. What for, you ask? DPD internal investigators concluded that Baker had sex in a Garland motel room with a prostitute while working an off-duty job in February.
By the way, Baker was not busted by Dallas SWAT. ;^)

Shame. That would have made great television.
