Maybe, just maybe, we shouldn't respond with full militaristic force to an anonymous tip. Park a couple squad cars outside and knock on their door, instead of going in full force?

I'm not sure kids being up late one night is exactly the problem in this story.

Needs to be a good 10 years in hard prison for this nonsense. It's risking people's lives, wasting money. While these cops are all swarming someone's house, how many other people actually need the police and are being robbed/shot while police are tied up somewhere else?

I firmly believe swatting should be prosecuted as attempted murder. One of these days, the shtf and someone dies. Throw the book at them and show that this sort of thing will not be tolerated.

I'm an old grump and just cannot fathom how kids think this shit is funny. They are LITERALLY putting peoples' lives in danger let alone wasting valuable Community resources to respond to these fake calls.
