A SWAT team in upstate New York is being mocked as an example of the difference between military and police training after an officer was captured peering through a backwards sight on his combat rifle.

As users on the military Reddit were quick to point out when the image was posted, the reverse sight makes it effectively useless.

Users mocked the SWAT officers training and some went so far as to question the motives of some of the men serving in local law enforcement.

The officer is using a 'military style' assault weapon with a close quarters combat sight that costs roughly $500.

'It's disturbing to think that 1) none of his buddies corrected it, and 2) he's in a real-life situation with his optic on backwards, which means he's never fired that rifle with the optic on it, which means it isn't zeroed and he thought it was OK to show up to a gunfight with an unzeroed weapon,' wrote one Reddit user.

Makes me feel better about the inevitable raids and confiscations.
Another thing caught my eye...the guy w/ the shotgun? He's got his support hand back by his cheek, as if it were a sniper rifle or a machine gun. If he fires that weapon, he's gonna end up with a face-full of his own fist.
I bet they high-five each other afterwards, too.

I thought something was odd there too Dan, at first I thought he was maybe cupping his mouth and talking into a walkie mic, but his fricken finger in ON the trigger!
