MTG swatted. Her two daughters swatted. Jack Posobiec parents swatted. Now Rick Scott, FL Senator was swatted last night. Fox News Legal Analyst Johnathan Turley gets swatted after talking about it on air. GA Lt Governor was swatted as well. MTG is saying on X many more Republican officials report incidents.
Of course, the FBI is too busy chasing grandmothers who were let into Congress to even bother investigating.
It isn't even 2024 yet, shit's already getting crazy.
Hell they tried swatting Styx just this week since he's back in the US.
Police are probably frustrated too being used like this and this is to more right leaning individuals so probably well armed unlike some random streamer. Just bump swatting up to an attempted murder charge, catch a few of these pricks and watch them stop using this tactic.
Surely the cops who pull the trigger instead of investigating if the call is bogus or not should just keep being put in a position to shoot first and never bother to ask at allr?
This is a bigger indictment on the ill-used military-police state than the low-I.Q., retards who are capable of easily abusing said system. In fact, why it's so easy to abuse seems to be a question no one bothers to ask.
If SWAT actually stopped one of those "mass murders" the Left are always complaining about using the exact same tactics they use to kill innocent people like the Wichita family man (ref: https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/family-wichita-man-killed-police-swatting-incident-seeking-25-million-n1079836) then I would be all for it, but very conveniently SWAT only seems to be 100% effective at terroising innocent civilians thus far. Yet everyone puts the blame on the pranksters instead of the people pulling the trigger.
This has been bugging me for a while.
How, exactly, are these police departments setup such that annonymous calls with zero evidence can apparenty consistently get full SWAT teams to raid residential houses? Sometimes more than once.
Kinda insane, if you think about it...
Bingo. This goes double when it's somebody famous or a public figure.
It doesn't take a genius level intelligence to think an anonymous caller saying senator so-and-so just blew away his whole family merits some investigation before sending in a squad of heavily armed cops who are likely to shoot anyone they see on sight.
"Hey, if this guy is supposedly just shot a bunch of people how come we haven't received any 'shots fired' calls from anyone in his neighborhood?" Is a question they've apparently never asked themselves.
Context is generally out of the window in a potential emergency setting. You have to consider anything is possible.
I don't believe dispatchers/police necessarily know who lives at the addresses they are called to. And it's not like celebrities don't go nuts either.
I would think a caller would be more vague, so you can't rule out that some whacko just barged in to kill the politician's family.
Maybe they're all at work. Maybe they're all watching action movies in their soundproof private theaters. Maybe they are dealing with a bystander effect, wherein a large group of witnesses don't act/call because they all assume someone else will. Again, emergency, and anything is possible and this anonymous tip says lives are at stake.
