TIL during the 1992 Los Angeles riots, 1,000 Federal SWAT agents (e.g. FBI HRT, BORTAC, U.S. Marshals SOG, etc.) were deployed to L.A. to serve alongside 3,500 Federal troops in helping state and local forces. It was the largest federal law enforcement response to a riot in any U.S. city in history.
