SWATting turns deadly

[KevDen2005]

Here we go again. My prediction is this thread won't last long.

Yep.

I knew it was only a matter of time. It's why I fully feel that SWATting someone should be charged as attempted murder. In this case, actual murder (by the person doing the call).

...and the person who gave the bogus address, manslaughter.

Here's a video of the shooting. They shot him from across the street right after "yelling let's see your hands."

Guy is standing in his doorway, moves after being told to show his hands (can't tell if he's holding anything) and then he is shot.

Worse than seeing a family member gunned down by the cops? I don’t see how, that person is, in fact, dead.

There must be a misunderstanding here. What do you think I meant when I said the opposite would be worse?

Sounds like they arrested the jackass who made the call. Also has the same name as a guy who was previously arrested for making false bomb threats--but not confirmed it's the same guy I don't think. Hopefully he gets the full body cavity treatment by the legal system.

So... Time will tell as to how accurate everything being reported by MSM is, but when a call originates in LA (where one douche was reportedly arrested in connection to this incident), but the address provided is in another state, how does that not raise flags? (I admittedly have little knowledge as to how 911 systems + procedures work)

I'm guessing there was some kind of spoofing to make it look like the call wasn't from LA, but I'm not sure either how that works with the system he called into. The other red flag, though, was that the guy told the 911 dispatcher that it was a one-story house (because he was pranking and guessing) . . . and that's a two-story house they responded to. You'd think that disconnect would have been noticed, but maybe that's not a detail that got passed along ot noticed at the time?

[Irving]

The one story vs two story thing wouldn't have been noticed by anyone, especially in light of the alleged circumstances.

Some people are goddamn evil.
