1 in 9 is so absurdly high it calls into question everything about the study. There are about 42 million teenagers in the US right now. 1:9 would be about 4.67 million teens. According to the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), SWAT teams in the US were deployed about 45,000 times in 2014. Not all of these would be "SWAT'ing" incidents (a prank call resulting in a SWAT team response), but it gives some context to the scale of SWAT operations. Even if it was 1:10,000 you'd see like 4200 teens swatted. Back of the napkin math would mean roughly 1:10 SWAT calls are pranks. I kinda doubt that too. 1 in 9 lunacy. If 1 in 9 teens got swatted it would be a huge deal. (for a good time let chatgpt + wolfram do all the calculations and start comparing to the 240 million 911 calls made each year... you'd be looking at 1 in 100 911 calls being swat pranks....
