There’s plenty of studies saying precisely just that... and that because of the stigma of pedophilia they can’t really go seek help without being incriminated for it. Even if they haven’t committed a crime, if they simply talk to a counselor about their feelings to recieve help, they get reported to authorities.

He only purchased or only downloaded DVD’s he probably didn’t actually make them. His interaction with the Victim is basically non existent. Jerking off to child porn isn’t the same as sexually assaulting a child or creating child pornography. It’s the difference between buying narcotics vs distributing them. It’s not…

Because I call out our shitty / racist police for excessive force and demand congressional hearings and more over-sight on our law enforcement? I must be Russian if I want our democracy to run smoother and more fair!

IF you’re that afraid of death then quit your job and and go work in a pillow factory. Firemen run into burning buildings to pull people out of burning rubble to save lives and get paid peanuts to do so. Fuck these cowards for endangering other people’s lives with their cowardice. These assholes don’t deserve guns or…

The same thing happens in the UK, they usually phone people or knock on the door politely first in most situations they don’t go in guns blazing. Same as in canada. How many incidents like this occur in other countries? We’ve had swat burst into people’s houses shooting indiscriminately killing children such as the…

I was responding to OP’s comment, not this particular incident where the OP stated the people who called in swat on this kid should basically know better considering there was a previous incident, very recently where a man was ruthlessly gunned down in a swatting incident. The fact that streaming a video game is now a…

Are you blind, dense or just purposely ignoring what I am saying and assuming I am saying something else? Nobody got shot or killed in this particular situation,

There’s a better way to handle that situation where lives aren’t lost and where cops can keep control of themselves. This is what they are paid and trained to do. If they can’t control themselves under pressure or figure out ways to deal with the situations like these in a non lethal manner then maybe its time to go…

Read OP’s comment ... my response was to his comment not the article. And how do you know there’s no way other way to handle these situations? How are other countries dealing with swatting? Deadly force and smashing of skulls is rarely their first resort. There are so many non lethal ways to incapacitate suspects and…

They’re supposed to be trained to preserve life and exercise restraint. Cops in other countries aren’t as ruthless or trigger happy. Calling the cops on someone shouldn’t be a potential death sentence. It’s not like swatting is a new phenomena its been going on for at least ten years now, they’ve had time to suss out…

This has been going on for about 10 years now, police need better training and more restraint and engagement techniques to deal with this kinda shit. They shouldn’t be a tax funded death squad you can just dial 911 on and have them target people. Swat intervention isn’t handled as ruthlessly in other countries.

It’s not because people now equate calling the police on someone as taking a hit on a target. We shouldn’t have tax funded death squads on payroll. Calling the cops on someone shouldn’t considered a death sentence. Read OP’s original comment.

We shouldn’t have let our police force get to this point. This should be a time for reflection and action. The fact we even view our police force as a cadre of armed assassins we can dial from any phone should speak volumes to how far they’ve fallen. They need massive reform and calling on a government agency even if…

Cops get paid to handle these situations and if they aren’t equipped or derelict in their responsibilities they should be held more accountable. This is what we are supposed to depend on them for.

Hurt for the innocent people that get gunned down by police everyday and receive no justice.

Cops have been dealing with “Swatting” pranks for over ten years now and they’ve only been increasing in hostility. Something needs to change with how they operate. Throwing up our hands and saying “ well there is nothing more that can be done because cops are just bloody thirsty and trigger happy” isn’t a solution.

Yea we need reform there too.

Swatting has been going on for what ten years now? Cops haven’t adapted? I call bullshit on that. You’re gonna gun down a dude in a house for no fucking reason I too call bullshit on this. This is murder and cops who gun down innocent civilians should be convicted. Cops are a fearful, blood thirsty, and corrupt bunch…

Agreed. But police should have tactics ( especially by now, swatting has been a thing for almost a decade now ) to deal with this shit. These guys are supposed to be specially trained to deal with incidents like this and have the discipline and training to avoid this. IF not then they need special oversight and…
