    Isn’t a big part of the problem how the police respond rather whether they decide to or not?

      I am sure there are measures taken to ensure clebs and other prominent people don’t have their doors broken down anymore.

      Fuck the peasants though. The commoner is probably going to have their house seriously damaged and will still be arrested anyway. If they were doing anything illegal, like smoking weed, charges will be filed but eventually dropped but not after significant expense to the victim. Shit like that can happen, ya know?

      For schools that get swatted, I could see this contributing to PTSD in kids in a big way as the MO for cops is to assume that the threat is actually mixed in with the rest of the kids. (That is assuming that an evacuation plan is even implemented.)

      Obviously American cops are really bad about this, but how would European cops respond to a bomb threat?

      I’m not whatabouting, I acknowledge US cops are the worst. I’m curious if this is a unique issue
