Just saw a news article about this; he's lucky he's not banned for a longer period considering the wasted money and resources that actually go into swatting, as well as the dangers that are actually present when a real SWAT team equipped to neutralize any threat - even fatally, if need be - into an innocent person's home. Even without any physical incident, it can still cause emotional damage or trauma to both the victim and anyone who happens to be near the victim.

Faking a swatting isn't only stupid, he did it just to entertain his viewers and worse, allows for the idea that swatting is a joke.

Check this video out for someone's reaction to being swatted, and how it affected him:

Video Description wrote

Broadcasting LIVE on:
twitch.tv/koopatroopa787
This was the live footage after 10 police officers equipped with ARs
held my family at gun point due to a prank call; including my little
brother.

I saw this article a while back, and it really made me sick. Someone, anyone out there had the bright and stupid idea to SWAT this guy and laugh about it afterwards. It's a problem that needs to be fixed, pronto.

I remember when this happened.... It was the first time I heard about "swatting." It's awful. I would think that police would do a bit more research before they rush someone's house like that.

tbh the sick fuck probably saw his reaction as a win and laughed to all of his neckbeard friends about it.

His luck will probably run out and he'll get caught the next time he tries swatting. At least I hope so.

Well, to be fair, the point of the whole SWAT thing is to get to the location where the report was filed immediately to neutralize any possible threats.

Yeah, but if I called the SWAT on my neighbors and the cops charged in there with guns, that's more like a witch hunt than effective police work.

I agree with that, but the only possibility of bringing in a SWAT team was if you mentioned something like gunshots or bloody murder or something. So you'd have to be trying really hard to get your neighbors killed :scream:

Okay, gunshots, screaming... .... Do you recommend I say anything else? I want to make sure this thing goes through for me....

SWAT teams are the fastest and possibly heaviest equipped for domestic disturbances in America (this counts bomb and other threats that some do not consider 'domestic'. They are also outranked by the National Guard in power, but certainly not speed).

They have stopped many a school shooting and neutralized countless murderers and would-be bombers thanks to their staggering swiftness. Every second done to research something is a second counting down in a bomb or a life lost in a shooting. This is why they are so aggressive and quick-footed.

Abusing them is very difficult and if you are caught doing so, the repercussions are tantamount to condemnation of your social life (after hefty jail-time).

As a result, the pros far outweighs the cons, though that doesn't make the cons any less serious, I agree. But it's what we have.

Also, being effective police work would be relevant, but the SWAT are not the police. They are a, if not several, level/s higher.

okay

EDIT:
SWAT are police officers with more training. So, they ARE the police.

I agree that what they do is needed, but imo they need to work on ways of identifying hoaxes sooner.

Oh, no doubt everyone thinks so, including them as they've apparently been trying to take precautions against swatting.

But otherwise, taking a gamble to research is essentially gambling with lives and not many of the 'civilized' countries are eager to make that wager.

I'd rather they take the chance that the threat be real and and it turns out to be fake, rather thinking a threat is fake when it isn't.
