“Oh, neighbor didn’r hear a gunshot? Well let’s put down the guns and knock on the door nicely instead”. Come on now.
- Momquist 9y ago> "Well let’s put down the guns and knock on the door nicely instead” And why not? In the same situation in Europe, this is what would happen. Regular cops would confirm the situation first. And it works. Units similar to the SWAT do exist, but I've never heard of them being dispatched directly after an anymous call. "if all you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail...", and well, the SWAT is pretty much a hammer in this kind of situation.
- user5994461 9y agoIf the call goes on for 20 minutes in great details on an ongoing hostage situation with already multiple casualties, I certainly expect the European SWAT to show up as soon as possible. I'd personally be shocked if it were any difficult to get a hold of the GIGN, the RAID, the DGSE, the GCHQ or the UK SWAT when necessary.
