- mingus88 3y agoSeriously, the article cites one example of four times in a single day On one hand, you’d hope the cops stop busting down doors with guns drawn after the first time On the other hand maybe the exploit is to swat some place twice then you can attack the residence for real to avoid the heat

- vkou 3y ago> On the other hand maybe the exploit is to swat some place twice then you can attack the residence for real to avoid the heat If you actually want to attack a residence and kill everyone in it, the police aren't going to stop you. They'll arrive long after the fact. And if you wanted to get away with it, calling three prank SWAT calls in first is hardly going to improve the odds of it.
- madaxe_again 3y agoI can almost guarantee KPIs are what’s going on. Each time they’re called out on a fake incident, they get to call it a successful resolution as a result of deploying their swat team. This then gives them an end of year that says “swat is highly effective in resolving situations”, which then allows a budgetary increase and more gear for the swat team. Rinse and repeat.
- e40 3y agoI have been reading this thread for far too long, and this is the best comment. The one that explains my vast confusion as to why it could happen 47 times to one address.
- phone8675309 3y agoIncompetence is going on in this city. The police here only know three things - no knock raid with automatic weapons, not pulling over reckless drivers, and shooting unarmed black men. That is all they do.
- ryandrake 3y agoCan I please put myself on this Do Not SWAT list? I’d be interested in putting myself on a Do Not Help list, too, if possible. Any police interaction brings with it a small probability of a deadly outcome. Would be nice to be able to opt out of their “help.”
- throwaway11460 3y agoHow do they know it's you?
- rightbyte 3y agoYou walk to the station in person and say "please no armed officers in my house" I guess.
- throwaway11460 3y agoHow do they know it's you in the house? What if you took somebody there? What if somebody else is using your house? Seems like just the thing to do before I drag someone into my basement. "Hey officers, my house is off limits, cya"
- rightbyte 3y agoWhat if. I don't think I ever want armed officers rushing in into my house no matter what scenario I'm in. If they can't observe a crime but still wont dare knock on my door, like, go home please?
- throwaway11460 3y agoIt's not about you.
- minor_e_celeb 3y agoDespite was sovern citizens may say, you can not opt-out of police services in the U.S. If you're well known on the Internet, let your local polic department know you may be targeted with swatting. It's worked for people in the past to soften the response. If you haven't already been swatted it's unlikely your profile is such that you'd be tarted.
