I hope they win their civil suit. It'd be such a small compensation for Finch's family at this point. Andrew Finch's niece Adelina Finch (18) just killed herself days ago.

Holy shit this event is getting more and more upsetting.

Good.

Tyler can rot in hell

How about we start holding police departments responsible for this shit? They're the ones with the actual guns busting down people's doors.

They have to treat every call as serious. Do you somehow think they knew it was a swatting while they were on the scene?

Since when does "treat serious" equate to busting doors down without a warrant and pointing guns at people?

You are analyzing the situation AFTER THE FACT but judging the cops as if they had the same hindsight.
If you're an officer on duty, and you get a call that some crazy guy in a house has shot his family and is holed up (or whatever BS reason Barris used). Do you just casually walk up to the house like 'oh this can't be serious I'll act real non-chalant'.

No, I'm analyzing the situation from the point of view specified in the constitution. Cops must get a warrant to enter your property.

So there's only two options, ignore the call or bust doors down with guns blazing? Your view is why swatting works at all.

The alternative is they sit and wait, and find out the hostages have been killed or the bomb has gone off

Yeah because hostages are constantly taken in residences, and bombs are constantly going off.

Good. Fuck Swatting. It wastes taxpayer dollars on stupidity.
And it's attempted murder.
