History Fridge / SWATKats

** T-Bone and Razor's disdain for the Enforcers as a whole might steam from the rest of their squadron in "The Wrath of Dark Kat" flashback breaking off pursuit of Dark Kat's jet because it was "too dangerous" and not because of orders; had they stayed and backed up the future SWAT Kats, Feral might not have been in a position to try to steal the kill and let Dark Kat escape. If the flashback is accurate and not a case of UnreliableNarrator, that means Jake and Chance were punished for Feral's recklessness while their squad mates got away with dereliction of duty, which would explain a ''lot'' of their bitterness towards the military they were once part of and not just their former boss. Heck, the fact that someone like [[TheStarscream Lieutenant]] [[DirtyCoward Steele]] managed to climb the ranks to be Feral's second-in-command would be reason enough.

* From "The Giant Bacteria": While the Swat Kats dropping Morbulus into the bay backfired, and they blame Feral although it's their fault, they likely believed that the fall would leave Morbulus too injured to escape, and the life jacket in his suit would keep him above water. This is supported by T-Bone referring to Morbulus as "gift wrapped" when Feral says that Morbulus might have drowned after the fall. The Swat Kats just didn't anticipate that Morbulus was that durable.
** Its also probably due to T-Bone and Razor being bitter against Feral having been once Enforcers who got kicked out by Feral intentionally preventing them from capturing Dark Kat, which led to Enforcer Headquarters getting trashed (as shown in "The Wrath of Dark Kat"). However, T-Bone heavily implies that this isn't the first time Feral had made these blunders and they've had to clean up for him. Deputy Mayor Briggs, who supervises all Enforcer activities, probably noticed these blunders, even after Feral became a ByTheBookCop.

* In "The Dark Side of the SWAT Kats", Callie Briggs' evil equivalent could have been informed that there are two set of SWAT Kats, but since she's allied herself with Dark Kat, she might have surmised that he already planned on betraying her.

* The Enforcers' helicopters all seem to mount heavy gun turrets: for instance, the helicopter in "Pastmaster Always Rings Twice" carried a minigun; [[{{Dystopia}} now, why would police helicopters have minigun turrets?]]

* The whole series becomes so much more horrific when one considers that if Feral ''hadn't'' tried to take down Dark Kat in the backstory and let Chance and Jake take the shot, it's very likely they would have stayed in the Enforcers without the freedom and resources their military salvage yard {{Unishment}} gives them to be the SWAT Kats in the present. Unless Jake and Chance ascended high enough in the Enforcer ranks to enact changes similar to their SWAT Kat technology and tactics (which is probably unlikely given the timeframe of the series,) there would be little to stand in the way of the multiple villains except two talented Enforcers stuck in outdated planes under the command of a ByTheBookCop who is too rigid to consider doing the crazy but effective stunts T-Bone and Razor do on a daily basis. To put it simply, if Feral had been a ReasonableAuthorityFigure towards Jake and Chance, Megakat City would surely have been destroyed and most likely a bunch of SpacePirates would have stolen all the world's water and consigned the SWAT Kats' Earth to a slow death all because two mechanics managed to keep their jobs in the military proper.

** The Enforcers' weapon generally [[FiveRoundsRapid does diddly squat against the monsters and technology the villains field]] and Razor's specialty missiles are more adaptable and effective because they can specifically target weakness conventional weaponry can't.

* The Metallikats may have survived Feral wiping out their programming in "Metal Urgency" and therefore were easily rebuilt in "Katastrophe" because Professor Hackle's lack of foresight in giving the gangsters robot bodies may have included a back-up system that would restore their personalities in the event that their operating systems failed to function. Considering that Mac and Molly made no attempt to barter with Dark Kat and Dr. Viper with the knowledge of the SWAT Kat's secret identities, it's even possible that the system restore didn't enable them to remember learning the SWAT Kat's secrets and only has them remembering the essential details of their lives as dead criminals revived in robot bodies who have a grudge against the SWAT Kats.
