Technically they can do it legally. Few years back in Kansas City (iirc), some guy was basically prank calling the police on a gamer, but got the wrong house, police just knocked on the door. No weapon. Killed some the dad, and walked. No repercussions at all for the police. The prank caller got like 5-10 I think, as he should. But there's something wrong when somebody dies by cop and they are unarmed and don't serve time.

It sounds like that was a mistake on the part of police. I was not talking about "SWATings gone wrong" or anything like that. I was talking about deliberately killing someone just because you can.
- batch12 4y agoI believe you are talking about swatting [0]. Framing this as a prank call is a bad way to describe it because it trivializes the attack. Based on your whole comment, I assume that wasn't your intention though. [0] https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/2017_Wichita_swatting https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/2017_Wichita_swatting
