US cops, being what they are, jesus… Swatting is potentially calling in a hit on random people. And I don’t mean to be hyperbolic, but yeah, sending cops into a situation described as dangerous is fraught. Read the article, this guy set up some horrific scenarios.
Look at that one dude that got gunned down by multiple cops for answering his door with a gun in hand. If something seems off or unexpected, and that’s extraordinarily rare, I do that. No one will see it, but my hand in on it when the door opens.

I think, and I’m being honest here, the cops fucking love it. They get to get their tacticool rocks off and go in blasting with no actual danger to face. They have qualified immunity so the ones that actually shoot people, or dogs, face no real trouble. Put yourself in their shoes. You’re a sad, lonely bully with a kink for cosplaying real soldiers and you get the chance to pull out your biggest pewpew and kick in doors. No way are you turning that down because of checks notes basic critical thinking.
Exactly. They get to suit up and roll out in armor. Pure fantasy fulfillment for them.
I once saw a defcon talk in Vegas showing how easy it was to connect to systems that controlled things like this. I would not be surprised if much of it is just poor security.
Why would they double-check anything that might stop them playing with their army toys?
I’m just disappointed that we, as a people, acknowledge how dangerous this is and decide to lock up the caller rather than reform the police.
This is like institutional stupid.
He looks like the type tbh
Looks like Kathy bates in Misery. Younger.
He doesn’t look like he’ll do well in prison.

He absolutely spends a fuck ton of time on 8chan.
If that person really did this, I hope they get a long sentence to try and stop other people from doing this.
Wow Tommy Solomon from 3rd Rock from the Sun has gone downhill.
This says more about the cops than it does about the kid. Maybe confirm what you’re getting into before you go? And not just 100% trust random info you get?
This is so I’ll the cops fault.
