Probably as a thank you for my 25 years of #OpenSource work, someone called the police on me and had be #SWAT'ed & #handcuffed while live-streaming t2 #Linux...
Well the cops might be taking pics of a dead body the next day. So then they could say “yeah we probably should’ve responded to that one last night, but we just couldn’t risk that it might’ve been one of the 0.01% of these calls where it turns out it’s an internet swatting thing.”
Yep. I guess there are no other possible methods of conducting a police investigation than your suggested method. Pack it in, boys. Space Cowboy’s got it all figured out for us!
Here’s an extremely easy one. When in doubt, just knock on the goddamned door and talk with someone instead of kicking the door in, tossing flash-bangs and jamming rifles in people’s faces. Knock… and talk. SWAT shouldn’t be entering unless there’s a barricaded suspect.
Someone calls an emergency number and says “My husband has a knife and he’s threatening to kill me!”
Should the operator say “nothing we can do until you provide provide me with some evidence, ma’am” ?
Pics or it didn’t happen, would be what I’d say…

You’re not offering any alternatives.

If someone’s in imminent danger sending police capable of protecting them from said danger seems like a reasonable idea
Lmao the cops take four hours to send someone then say she was just being dramatic in that scenario
This is a bad faith straw-man argument that pretends there are no other options than what you’ve presented. Weak.
That’s how swatting works though. They don’t just call 911 and say “send police to this place” lol.
