I think two steps should be taken: - Punish the swatters harshly - Take a long hard look at police tactics. There are way too many incidents where unarmed people don't behave 100% compliant and get shot. This is a really stressful situation for untrained people and professionals like cops should be trained to take that into account. Some years ago I got T-boned pretty hard by a car. Once the cops arrived, one of them gave me instructions and I was simply not able to process them and did all kinds of stuff instead. Thank god that cop was pretty nice and patient but I can totally understand how people may do things against cops' instructions when they get confronted by a SWAT team yelling at them.
