It's very simple. Swatting is not a thing in most other countries. Where I live, I'm pretty sure the police would survey the situation and first seek verbal contact (via phone, through the door, through a window, etc.) before storming in. Maybe they'd even nicely knock and ask what's going on. The problem really is the US police. The US police needs to be demilitarised and trained in deescalation. That's all there is to it. The man who died in the case referred in this article was shot for no reason at all except that someone was a bit too trigger happy. No policeman was in any danger at all.
