The plot points involving the SWAT spinoff make no sense. Isn't SWAT an elite unit?
"In this spin-off of the hit series, after a high-profile mission goes sideways, Daniel ‘Hondo’ Harrelson (played by Shemar Moore) is pulled out of forced retirement to lead a last-chance experimental SWAT unit made up of untested, unpredictable young recruits. Hondo must bridge a generational divide, navigate clashing personalities, and turn a squad of outsiders into a team capable of protecting the city and saving the program that made him who he is."
So now this is Saturday detention SWAT. Why are untested, unpredictable recruits the answer to a high-profile mission gone bad?
Ever heard of the movie Iron Eagle IV? It's about trying to take juvenile delinquents and turning their lives around.... by giving them full control of planes to fly solo.

Yep, typically SWAT refers to a team of highly trained individuals, usually a step up from regular police, often called in on more dangerous situations. So yeah, the setup sounds more like something you'd see out of Police Academy.

yes I've seen that film - can I pretend I haven't?
not to mention The Dirty Dozen aspect (there might be other films etc that embodied the trope before Dirty Dozen but it's probably the first one that comes to mind for many).
There's no way to sort by date, unfortunately

Rififi (1955) and Topkapi (1964). Then there's DC Comics 'The Doom Patrol' (1963), 'Challengers of the Unknown' (1957), and the original 'Suicide Squad' (1959). Heck, throw in Stagecoach (1939) while we're at it.
The Devil's Brigade is another.
