    Unbelievable. I'd never heard of such a thing until I saw this on the news last night. Idiotic, dangerous actions like this make me wish for the return of pillories.

    It would appear that the author of said article from The Free Thought project has a REAL bug up his butt about police in general, and has omitted several salient points about the incident so as to make things seem as though the cops overreacted. For instance, with a call about a live shooter scenario, his suggestion of the police "making a phone call or sending out a single officer to knock and ask questions" is about as stupid as making these "swatting" calls.

    "Excuse me, we heard there was a possible shoo-" BLAM BLAM BLAM! "Officer down." I agree... I love how so many "journalists", especially after Ferguson, are suddenly experts in LE procedure.
