I think my favorite part is the late to the party guy who screams commands his partners already told the complying person in the most stereotypically over the top hoorah voice like he just really wanted to tell someone to get on the ground and put their hands behind their back.

Which does nothing but confuse the people in the room and makes the whole situation worse, so nice work being an rear end in a top hat and ruining the teamwork.

All these morons use twitter, facebook, own smart phones, and constantly post pictures of themselves while bragging about what they do. It would be trivial for the police to track them down. If they are in a separate jurisdiction from where the call was made to where the raid was executed, the police could give less of a gently caress. The only way it'll amount to anything is if a prosecutor gets a bug up his rear end about it and tries to argue that swatting people is terrorism/attempted murder. But both the swatter and swattee are probably white and rich(or at least not impoverished) so it'll never go anywhere.

Ever see a movie with a hostage crisis where the bad guys escape by pretending to be a hostage? The cops just cuff everyone who doesn't immediately need to be in a hospital and sort it out later once everything has settled down.

So how long does it take for these idiots to admit to themselves they were pawns and let the dude go, or do they just not give a gently caress

That's actually pretty by the book and in gamer terms, heh, if you play swat 1-4 and DON'T handcuff people regardless of who they are, chances are they could get hurt and react irrationally (Like, say they heard gunfire and suddenly start running away, maybe into a bullet???) thus these guys were going for maximum score.

Stupid and over the top? You bet. But to get that hot rear end A+ rating at the end of the mission, that's pretty much how you do it.

I can't hear exactly what was going on. Did someone from the game call the cops and just say "oh this guys a terrorist HEH" or something? Did they just kick in this guys door with no investigation?

apparently the pranker who called the police was pretending to be a person who had taken hostages in the building and had already killed someone and planted bombs, lol

The best part of these kind of stories is when the people who called in a false report get busted and dragged before a judge to explain why they felt the need to waste police resources.

This took place in loving Littleton (aka Columbine) so consider this gamer loving lucky the cops didn't just open fire to "be sure".

Also, how long before someone gets shot and killed if this SWATing poo poo continues? loving gamers.

Anyone else here kinda prefer the treat of hostage situations and terrorists over white people with machine guns who can't wait to stomp on your skull? Cause I'm willing to give up an occasional hostage or two if it means these guys go away.

Likely FBI will get involved if the calls are found to originate cross state and both local police and FBI will crack down on the people hard who are caught doing it. Additionally, larger streamers will probably want to start registering with local police departments with additional numbers the police can call, in case of one of these calls to verify everything is safe or not. They might still need to make a wellness visit but with probably less SWAT involved.

Man I watched this again this time with volume so I could hear more of what was going on and it just gets more ridiculous. The guy who asks him why he think it's funny, the accusatory "why are we here" at the end as if it's not obvious they just didn't get duped by some clown into harassing someone. The way the cop nonchalantly just picks up the guys phone and starts going through it while he's cuffed, are they even allowed to do that?
