"Swatting"


BLKSHEEP

Recommended Posts

I hate SWATTING as much as the next guy and these guys certainly need to be prosecuted, however the pranksters are only partly to blame.  Utilizing SWAT in an intelligence vacuum is a recipe for disaster.   Special Weapons and Tactics involves more than kicking in doors and tossing flashbangs.....it appears some departments are forgetting that.

Hey, they spent all our tax dollars on paramilitary equipment and hardware for the SWAT team, so they're eager to bring out the toys to play. Who cares if it's a prank or it's a legit call. Doors aren't getting busted down by themselves!

But they tell Jon Q Public they got those MRAPS

For free from home land and they magically show up all shinny and painted for police use?!?!

Damned if you do, damned if you don't. Imagine the media frenzy when you get a call like that and send the volunteer senior patrol to verify the incident first...what's a station to do? Hit it hard and hope it's a lie.

Hell yea!!!!! Since I can't CCW in Illinois when I'm working in a rough area I carry a large screw driver think it would hurt like hell. Better than nothing I guess
