Tactically speaking, you would never go into a situation like the one described with only two officers. It would be for safety reasons, people possibly armed inside (legally and illegally), alcohol consumption, number of people, ect.
Do we know that a SWAT or similar unit went in there? No. We're relying on one person relaying that there were officers with "masks, swat gear and guns." Is he even credible? My first impression, No. Even if they had a tactical team, I could understand it for the reasons I posted above.
This video is biased but normally they are. I can't see the Dallas P.D. wanting to "raid" a VFW establishment. Normally, there are several Police Officers that have military backgrounds and IF the SWAT team was called out, the majority of the members of SWAT teams have military backgrounds.
