> Zero of these incidents that I've read about have tried to make any contact with people inside I got swatted a year ago and they setup a perimeter outside, really just eight officers with assault rifles aimed at the front door, and had one knock and yell that it was the police and that I needed to come out immediately. Granted in my case the caller said I had heavy weapons and was planning some kind of mass killing rather than the classic hostage situation so maybe they took a different approach?
