So GU1 is theprof00 right about your argument ? I didn't take your argument as send in two beat cops to break down the door first, I assumed (and perhaps incorrectly) you were talking about having one of the officers first on the scene see what they can see.

normal cops shouldnt break down any door, thats not their job, but they should check whats going on. the swat team isnt a normal police unit, they are a special unit for dangerous situations. they should be called by the local police when the situation is too dangerous for the normal police.

How would you define "check what's going on"? I'm not sure in all situations the lost responce time of a dual dispatch of both types of units is worth it...

"Checking WHAT. You're speaking vaguely, which makes me think you have no idea what you're saying."

I've been asking the same thing you are.

The punishment is just fine. In fact, it probably should be worse. People have to understand that these people who do this are dangerous. They have no regard for the well being of others and completely lack the common sense and very basic social structure that would make them think that what they're doing is fucked up. If someone thinks it is perfectly normal to have a swat team raid an innocent person's house and point a gun in their face and put that person in danger since the police tend to be more trigger-happy these days, then that person is too dangerous to live amongst the rest of society and must be removed from society for the sake of everyone else.

5 years isn't enough if you ask me.


I'm in agreement on this one.

Should have been atleast 10yrs. That is a very dangerous thing to do. There's a very real chance people can die.

Five years might seem like too little, but I think it's enough. If during a swatting, someone gets harmed or killed, the sentence should be increased to 15-20 years. But 5 years is fine for now. 6-7 years is better.

5 years is way to little for something like swatting, he should be in there for 25
