#Swatting #Police #Explained

SWAT is an acronym. Special Weapons And Tactics. What kind of tactic is gearing up and charging in balls first? This is why I don't understand how these mistakes keep getting made.
If your house has been swatted 42 times the issue is with the PD not the caller
If nobody’s can get famous addresses, why don’t the cops?? look and see who lives there first!!
42 Times?? I’d say the cops need to pay attention FFS!!
The alarming trend is how gullible police are that they're immediately arming up swat teams with little to no information
Special training from Israels IDF.
NBC doesn’t have much news about the millions of illegal immigrants and fentanyl pouring across the border due to treasonous democrat policies??
There's an easy fix, make anonymous emergency calls unanonymous 😣
It used to be pizzas, people sent them and you had to pay for them.
Now they send a swat team and you can pay with your life.
Getting swatted might cost you 5 years, but you'll be able to get a new citizenship by 10 years
SWATTING is mostly started by Trump supports
Only in the great 1st world country of USA!
I love this media host. Her voice is so 🔥
Reinstating the Sherman Antitrust Act and The Tillman act must be done !
All 911 calls should immediately track the caller. There is no reason not to especially in 2024 when it is so easy.
What stupid name for a series!
Lets talk about these SWAT teams and how we have militarized our police against us.
They had cocain in the Whitehouse but they won't simply explain that will they lol
We not pre okaying murders.
So up your level of awareness, or step aside and let someone do the job who not gone pull up shooting.
Because if your admitting this job is too hard you don't need to be doing it.
Yall not about to have people scrared they might get killed because of a wrong call. Is that what America is saying is they best.
"Alarming trend", as if this hasn't been going on for over a decade. NBC News even has multiple videos about it. Just rehashing content at this point.
Our house was the targets 1 time. 6 police with all heavy gears ready to brake in. Luckily run in to my husband walking home w our dog. Seriously this is funny, this is not a prank, this is criminal act
Oh no, they got this one right but the mainstream media doesn’t have a good track record of explaining nuanced issues well… this is the same media that thinks the Okay sign is a racist dog whistle…
I've been swatted a couple times by beach home owners/renters who are entitled and then accuse victims of being entitled. They're trying to keep California beaches under their control and realty schemes.
since the whitehouse got swatted that should wake up the feds and the president to the problem
Manhattan a total solar eclipse is no reason to argue and fight the Earth and Moon orbit the Sun and the Earth rotates and the moon orbits the earth so in our orbit and in the moon's orbit of the earth there are times when the moon is in the correct position to block the sun that isn't any reason to divide a city
this is 10 year old twich news
The devil's greatest trick was making the world believe he doesn't exist.
Someone had Bumble charge my checking account for an account I closed after a one time use.
It’s amazing how evil people can be and while functioning in society!
its not swatting, its a wellness check HAAHAHA
Whiteness + Youth = Swatting
Definition of swatting reminds me of covid
they make these calls to hurt you and threats for demands of money or they will call the cops on you, one of the issues online influencers has been dealing with this since the beginning
Why was that man sent to prison for 20 years when it was a cop who shot an innocent man?
Do a piece on the alarming trend of treason. It’s rampant in this country.
Also, swatted 42 times? The police didn’t figure out what was happening after about oh, 5 times???
