I don't see anywhere people are saying it was actually SWAT or any kind of "raid". It was simply a bunch of cops according to the family members in the video. They did not enter his house, they merely approached it. He appears to live in a rural area.
- michaelmrose 5y agoSwatting is used to mean calling the authorities with a fake crisis so subject people at the address targeted to risk and inconvenience it has nothing to do with the resulting police response. If Barney Fife showed up to kindly ask you if you were ok you would have been swatted just not very effectively.

The article uses this picture: https://static.techspot.com/images2/news/bigimage/2019/03/2019-03-30-image-11-j.webp https://static.techspot.com/images2/news/bigimage/2019/03/20... Google reverse image search for that suggests a search term of "fbi swat team" and first result is a wikipedia link to "FBI Special Weapons and Tactics Teams". The picture is from the Wikipedia page on swatting which says it is "an FBI SWAT team during training". https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swatting https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swatting
- unishark 5y agoYes it's clearly not a photo of the actual event. Are you complaining that you were misled? or are you suggesting "techbase" uses of stock photos is more authoritative than their own primary sources which I just summarized for you?
- jodrellblank 5y agoYou said "I don't see anywhere people are saying it was actually SWAT" and I'm pointing you to where the article implies actual SWAT was involved, with their use of a photo of an actual SWAT team.
