Sudden thought (and I can bet my fur someone already mentioned this possibility): what if the swatperp was wearing a paintball gear? Helmets, masks, SWAT-alike vests, protective pads, gloves, these are all parts of the paintball gear, which is much, much cheaper and easier to obtain than the real police combat gear.
I've posted that possibility more than once and gone ignored. Airsoft/paintball gear is widely available and inexpensive.
Here is one similar to the perpetrator's from Amazon, frequently sold together with a black balaclava. (Scroll down to see.)
