I certainly don't encourage it, but an organized group calling in a huge amount of swattings, so much so that it becomes a regular occurrence, might actually be a way of reducing the danger in swattings and reduce police aggressiveness.
If each police force responds several times to this kind of prank call, it would hopefully demonstrate to them the need to change their operating procedures.
Unfortunately several dozen or more innocent people might be killed or wounded before they realize their rules of engagement etc. need updating.

This seems like a very reasonable, sober approach to testing this problem. If SWAT teams can't pass this test, they need to be put on pause until they can be repaired. I mean, we do this sort of pentesting for things as trivial (at least by comparison) as bank accounts and health records. We're talking about people being murdered in cold blood here. I damn well think that a SWAT team needs to be able to demonstrate that it can survive a falsified report without murdering somebody.
