SWAT teams were originally created to deal with hostage situations, so no I wouldn't get rid of them. And there shouldn't be any drug laws to enforce anyway. If police departments operated with the kinds of budgets they have now because of the drug war, but did so without any drug laws to enforce, they could get so much more done. Imagine if they devoted those resources to property crimes or rapes, which are both crimes with very low conviction rates.
