    Really hope they find the caller and bring him to court. I mean both streamer and police are the victims here.

    At least it hasn’t been a actual SEK unit (SWAT in Germany) they look more like normal patrol officers. But nevertheless it’s unacceptable.

    Isn’t it amazing how you can “SWAT” (from the looks of it that weren’t special forces btw.) someone by knocking on the door, instead of blasting through it and charging in, ready to shoot anything that moves?

    That’s something you can do if you don’t have to be afraid of shotguns and full-auto rifles when going into random people’s houses.

      If they don’t have to worry about guns, then why do they have guns drawn?

        Because they worry about any other weapon? Or the extremely rare case that someone actually has a highly dangerous fire arm? My point is that they can have much less drastic standard procedures (and equipment), because the standard scenario of operation is significantly less threatening.

        There are special forces that get involved with the real shit. But the bar for real shit here is someone has any gun.

    How the fuck can Swatting be such a common thing in America. I have never heard about it in any other country.

    (This is, of course, a rhetorical question. I know the answer is that American police is beyond incompetent.)

        This is always felt really weird to me in general because on one hand you do have a lot of over aggressive police officers in the States but on the other hand you also have a lot of police officers who are like been through the drill and are just calm as fuck about it.

        I feel like the immediate pucker factor would be nine times higher if you’re in the States, but then it either goes to shit real fast or settles down real fast.

        Amazing - I read skimmed through the Wikipedia site for Swatting and tried to search online for it happening other places, but I couldn’t watch a video while commenting so I didnt watch the source.

        Fantastic case in point.

        Still I struggle to understand how it’s possible.

          It’s just the sad state of reality. People get hurt when cops don’t act on this. Unfortunately many police are poorly trained and filtered out, so this does lead to many instances where people do get hurt because of them responding. Police officers need to be more strictly trained and monitored when dealing with situations like these, and the transparency of stuff like this is shockingly little.

      As others mentioned, this isn’t America. Also, fraudulent calls to emergency services is a criminal offense, people who do this are usually charged and fined, or even given jail time. It’s not like it’s accepted or mainstream behavior, people just do stupid things and when combined with stupid cops it has led to tragic outcomes. In this video they seem to show up, which they HAVE to do, place the occupant in precautionary detainment, verify there is no crime underway, and release him. They would probably then take a statement, then the next thing would be to get a warrant for the call records and charge the dipshit that started the incident.

      Its not incompetence. Its by design. The more SWAT goes out, the more they’re justified. SWAT teams exist to increase the spending of police. Those expenditures go to military contractors.

      Its the same reason the US is ceaselessly involved in war since WW2. For money.

        It didn’t happen in the US though, so I’m not sure why that’s relevant.

          The US sells weapons globally. And they’ve overthrown whole governments that didn’t fall in line with their military and economic goals.

        Y’all ain’t wrong, but I’m more curious about Germany. Is it much of a thing there? I tried googling and only found this incident.

          Oh okay, are you referring to the Amazon link in the description? That link is a generic affiliate link that just redirects to “laptop” but gives him a comission when someone buys something on Amazon after, it’s not a specific product he sells on there.

            I’d prefer we not give Amazon money. I’m asking if there’s a better place, for either?

              Dude’s gotta feed the monkey. You could donate some money to him on patreon then he wouldn’t need to have an amazon affiliate link.

                Maybe if I have some pennies to spare, I will donate. I’m just not an Amazon fan. I haven’t given them money in a several years.
