The phone calls that lead to a SWAT team response typically involve a claim that a person has a gun and is holding their partner hostage inside the house/apartment. Asking police to not take such calls extremely seriously is not a solution. It’s like asking the fire department not to show up every time someone pulls a fire alarm in a building. Even if it’s some misbehaving kid who loves pulling the fire alarm, they still have to show up because if they ignore it even once and it happens to be a real fire then people will die.
