Corrected entry: When the SWAT team enters the Cyberdyne office (After Dyson grabs the detonator), they start shooting immediately. It's very unlikely that a specially trained police unit would do that as they didn't know if there are hostages or other innocent people inside. They hit and lethally wounded Dyson who was actually unarmed, he could have been taken as a hostage by the others. Instead of a mindless full scale attack, the SWAT should have secured the scene with flash grenades or tear gas first.

Correction: First off, what the SWAT team "should have done" is not a mistake. Second, police brutality is certainly a problem and was a bigger problem in the 90s. Third, these are cops going after someone who killed 17 police officers. They are going to do whatever they have to to take him down.

Police brutality and trigger happiness are not the same, especially not if we talk about a specially trained enforcer unit. Besides, later on, they faced the guy who they thought did kill those officers but still, they used gas grenades and told him TWICE to lie on the ground, before shooting him.

That part might deserve a spot in the mistakes, but your original point is still correctable. I agree with the correction, plus the Terminator had just unloaded on the entire police force with a massive machine gun. No one was hurt, but the cops wouldn't know he held back. To them, it's the same killer who killed 17 cops in a police station. They'd likely enter with orders to shoot on sight.

I would like to add that Miles Dyson was not unarmed; he was holding the detonator. Someone holding a detonator to a bomb is considered armed and would be taken out.
