    Swatting should be considered a failure of law enforcement.

    If a police department gets tricked into Swatting an innocent party due to a fraudulent call to 911, the entire department should be disbanded and replaced with officers who do due diligence before busting people’s doors down. If anyone dies, the officer who signed off on the raid gets charged with murder.

      But what if it’s actually serious?

        Yep. If the department ignores a call, believing it’s a hoax, & it turns out not be?

        Someone’s gonna shit the bed if that goes down.
