Perhaps, but to be fair, if you're a SWAT operative you really don't want to fuck up, or at least, not be found not to have followed procedure if things go wrong somehow.
Why? Whats the worst that could happen to that cop? They get a few weeks of paid vacation?
Cops enjoy swatting people because they get to dress up and play tacti-cool special agent, breaching doors, smashing houses apart, and shooting people (and dogs) with no consequences.
especially when they know it's a fake SWATTING incident... they know there's no risk. it's like going into a video game with god mode on... except it's real life. they're the kind of people who get a stiffy off of tacticool dressup like that.

What if the homeowner was black or alphabet? Then the media creates a frenzy and who knows what can happen then.
