They need to respond, but they need to end the whole “Killology” mindset that American cops are trained into.

Kudos to granny for being so positive about it and acknowledging that the cops have to follow up on the calls they receive, but if some anonymous tipster can bring down a SWAT team on some grandma’s house without any kind of check being triggered, that might indicate that there are some problems about how these issues are being handled.

Yah, send a car around first to at least glance, maybe try calling them too.

People have already died from swatting. Faster and cheaper than hiring an assassin.

Once I read they threw a flashbang through the window and it landed in a baby bed with a baby inside.

From the point of contact, or including time to find a good one? A good assassin can be very quick.
I’ll give ya cheaper though. Good work costs good money.
