I think the phenomena of swatters is really highlighting how the police can be dangerous towards innocent people.
> keep in mind that if you did this in a thousand neighborhoods
Sure, but if so few people can cause so much damage only with a phone, do you really think the police is still not part of the cause of the problem?
I don't think it's worth it to have the police react this way to a call. I'd rather see criminals get away than innocent die because of swatters.

Exactly, and that's the same for swatters, you will always have a good supply of people idiot enough to do that.
So what is the solution, putting future idiots in jail and let future innocents die of swatting?
I'm not american and I often hear about police issues in the US.
