Puppetman64 They do it because the child might pose a threat. The cops have no idea what they're in for so they have to make sure. Even kids can be dangerous.
+Puppetman64 A SWAT Team is made for EMERGENCIES that involve quick and fast acting on the behalf of the law. School Shootings are a prime example. Though it isn't the same. SWAT is quick and effective in taking out dangerous targets before anything more can be done. Police don't do that because while they do handle emergencies, they won't be as big as a SWAT Team.
If you stream and have a face cam and or at least have over.....I'd say 1000-5000 watchers, call your local or nearest police station and warn them about the possibility that someone may try to do this to you, and have them call you if they receive a certain type of call like a bomb threat or something serious like that. It could be the difference between life and death for you streamers out there.
There is also another possibility you didn't consider. Many American have LEGALLY acquired and legally own fire arms. I know of one case where a resident had suffered a very violent home invasion robbery in which both his wife and 14 year old daughter were violently raped while he watched, helplessly tied to a chair. Both women required surgery and extensive hospital stays and the young girl will now never have children of her own. About a year later someone swatted him. Thinking he was about to suffer another home invasion he opened fire. The police returned fire and he was killed instantly. Personally I think the responsibility for these tragedies rest solely on the police. The US constitution requires reasonable suspicion of a crime before they are allowed enter and search a property (car or home or storage locker). An anonymous tip should NOT be consider "reasonable evidence". The police need to pull back and think about what they are doing here. Especially considering the number of false alarms they are encountering. I don't think local municipal police should even have swat teams. Special Weapons And Tactics should only be used on the state and federal levels. And a through investigation needs to be done BEFORE a swat team is deployed. Most municipal towns have no need for swat teams EVER. When you have small poorly trained local police agencies deploying SWAT teams it is just asking for trouble.
EvaMobile8 Every time I have called 911 I have been asked my name. However in reporting an emergency getting the name of the caller should be a lower priority.
TalesOfGamerz when you say "The USA needs to calm its tits." that is mocking and why bring up SWAT shooting down a suspect when we are talking shooting animals as a standard procedure and for the shooting of suspects you do know they might...oh my goodness...chase the suspect who would have thought i mean it is not like they have extra men from the outside waiting just in-case someone tries to run
Swatting should be attac hed to attempted murder, if the streamer panics because of swat members storming in their room and they get shot, it's on their shoulders that they got a person killed or wounded
I heard about a guy who got swatted, and when they broke down his door, he thought it was a brake in and grabbed his gun, and shot a police officer and then he was shot. Both thankfully survived. People need to realize how deadly this actually is...
Damn son, protocol in a no knock raid to just blast a dog on sight and throw flashbangs with no repercussion even if the guy being swatted is innocent...I'm glad that swatting doesn't exist in the UK, they just send officers over to assess the situation rather than blowing your entire house because of a random call.
Swatting is a very tricky situation now. If they take every call seriously, they have the potential of wasting thousands of dollars raiding innocent people and even causing injury or death. On the other hand, if they start not taking these calls as serious due to how many of these prank swatting calls are made, then this helps real terrorists who will use this diminished reaction of these types of threats to their advantage.
Isaiah Stubblefield That's not true. Dozens, even hundreds of actual terror attacks have been thwarted in the past two years alone. You just don't hear about them, because they don't occur.
Amazing GFM, it's great that you rose awareness because at my brothers school there was a fake call about a week ago. Thanks for putting games aside and informing your audience.
Also note that some streamers, such as MrRepzion, are armed with small firearms (for self defense purposes). And even if they have a gun licence and a registered weapon, seeing it on the victim's hands might cause the authorities to *shoot on sight*. There are multiple cases of people, usually people of color, being shot on sight for having something that's not even remotely shaped like a gun. I can go on and list how a kid was shot and killed by an officer because his Wii remoted "looked like a gun" or how a black dude was shot in a public place because he had a fake sword (he was cosplaying, shot on the back), or a Nerf gun (how come white people can walk around with assault rifles but when a black dude carries a dart gun or an air pistol they shoot first and never ask questions?). This is not about race, but SWAT officers are very serious and very violent when responding to emergency calls.
Why could you walk around inside your home holding the guns anyway. I like MrRepzion but I think owning guns for any reason other than hunting is dumb.
Dacew Ka That's exactly why they have to stop breaking into people's homes, it's really uncivilized. Makes you wonder if there's any real difference between countries anymore. We're quick to judge places like the middle east but people are crazy everywhere...
I had been "swatted" before I knew what it was, back in 2009-2010. I was having a party and someone called the cops saying there was a dead body, and they had been murdered. At least 12 cops busted down my front door, with their guns drawn, and had almost arrested me. I was 14-15 at the time, it's literally a terrifying situation.. it really shouldn't be a thing.
i'm getting annoyed at all the anti cop things. they're simply doing their job. blame the idiots who think is a funny joke to call 911. (of course im not saying police brutality doesn't exist, it sure as hell does, but sometimes the internet blames the cops a little to much)
Agreed, Seriously, the disrespect police officers that don't do anything wrong and try to be good people is outrageous. Also not a big fan of the generalization of Americans here since the overwhelming majority would do this.
I work with police dispatchers so the thing that pisses me off is the fact that people assume it's possible to determine pranks versus actual threats. It's not. If someone planted a bomb in your place of work and the police deemed that tip as a prank you'd be complaining about inaction on the police force's part. Ignorant punks.
I've personally been swatted mid-stream before. I'm lucky enough to live in an area that only sent out several police officers, one of which I know personally, but it is still a very scary thing and a massive waste of time/resources.If it does happen to any of you, my suggestion is to comply with whatever the officers are telling you, answer all of their questions and explain to them that you're a streamer and its a prank. Also, if you have time (i.e. you get "lucky" like I did and don't have them break your door down and throw you to the ground at gunpoint, mute your mic and deactivate your webcam. When you get back, try remaining as calm as you can, laugh it off if you can, and try not making a huge deal out of it. The less the trolls can see you react, the less fun it is for them. Just be careful guys.
I guess that could happen by mistake but it was primary dogs as they could attack. Still sick though. How about knocking the door first and asking if they could investigate. Why so dramatic eh? Who knows, I'm not American either so I dunno what's normal over there. Maybe they think everyone carries a gun and that's why they kick the door open loaded with firearms.
TalesOfGamerz i`m not from the US either, and the only thing i think of why going in houses armed is because of the second emendment (sorry if i wrote it wrong) that assures that every US citizen has the right to get guns
***** I'm sure America got it's good points but things like this just seems beyond insane for me. Can anyone just call and report a criminal living in whatever area and they'll come loaded with an army ready to blow up the house? I don't know what to think really.
how we can make this better: instead of the SWAT team breaking down doors, shooting dogs, and arrest the streamer on sight without asking them anything, they could just walk into the house, until they see the streamer to see if they're doing anything wrong. the streamer explains, and the SWAT team leaves
+ZSXDFV 2 If you've watched any UK swattings, that is basically what they do. Anyways, what if the person who called in saying they murdered their entire family. You politely knock, and you get shot in the head through the door. You politely knock, the guy escapes. You politely knock, a grenade goes off on the other side of the door. You politely knock, and the door opened and the guy stabs you 37 times in the chest (Llamas with Hats reference, get it? No? I'll just go then...)
Yeah unless these people constantly have armour that can block assault rufles on and are holding a gun trying to shoot a trained, armed, and armoured officer is ridiculous.
*Door* *Swings* *Open* Officer: GET ON THE GROUND NOW!!! Streamer: ok ok just dont hurt me Officer: alright where is your dog Streamer: Why? Officer: WHERE IS YOUR DOG!!! Streamer: He is in the backyard Officer: ALRIGHT MEN LETS GO WE HAVE A JOB TO DO!!! *Gunshots* Officer: alright men damn good job lets go Streamer: What did you do? Officer: We saved you from that monster apparently from our source he was running guns for multiple terroist organizations Streamer: But he was my friend Officer: ARE YOU TELLING ME OUR SOURCES LIE!!! Streamer: No sir Officer: Alright then lets move out... ...also apoligies nothing personal. *Smashes* *Window* *and* *jumps* *out* Officer: also one last thing Streamer:(Nearly in tears) What? Officer: hope you know your taxes help fund us *leaves* Streamer:😭😭😭😭😭😭 Leave a like if you cringed at least once
Holy crap, I leave your channel for a couple years and I come back to this? I am proud of this great change of size and am happy that you have grown and matured.
2:21 I KNOW the officers of the law employed to protect this "Fine country" DID NOT just try to cuff a four year old little girl what are you going to say when she is in jail? She's a domestic terrorist this isn't the boondocks you cant do that! :(
+James Wright She could have had a bomb strapped to her rigged to go off on the press of a button. The world is fucked up, you never know what could really be happening.
+wHATZIT tOYA Now you sound like a cop, Did it look like she had bomb? If she had a bomb, she would say she did. Must suicide bombers announce that there is bombing before they pull the trigger. That is called terrorism. People are suppose to be scared amidst an assault. You have no idea about real-world terrorism.
Decline To state. you do not know what you are talking about. Just because sometimes terrorists announce what they're doing. And explosives such as C4 can be extremely destructive even when the amound is extremely small. It could have been strapped to her underneath of her shirt, in her pants, it could have been in her damn asshole. Terrorists are ruthless and will do anything to try to cause distruction. As a SWAT unit or police officer, you ALWAYS have to assume the worst. In vietnam, they used children for warfare. No one is too innocent to be a terrorist.
wHATZIT tOYA This is america, not Iraq. You idiot. I went to war, You're the ignorant one. And a small amount of C4 wouldnt kill several armed men who already have ballistics protection. I was told a small 12 ounce of C4 can destroy a small shed. So a 18 gram tube shoved up her butt would only kill her. You need to study explosives, kid. You dont know what you're talking about. Moron.
Well SWATting was still a fear of mine ever since I started hearing of it, you provided information about SWAT that made me fear it even more. Overall I think it's ridiculous just how extreme people can be just for revenge over losing in multiplayer, or even just pulling a prank. Just how many psychopaths are in this world? Many I presume.
With all the armor and shit they wear plus the fact swat teams come in large groups, there's no reason they couldn't wait until the dog actually tried to attack them. Worse that could happen doing that is one might get a bite mark on their armor. Definitely makes more sense to kill a family's loved pet when they don't even know if the people they're raiding are going to be guilty. Oh but America isn't becoming a police state. Where a swat team can tear your families house apart and kill your beloved pets, who can be like family members, all without any evidence. Just a phone call that doesn't even have to give their name or any identity at all. America, the home of the free.
A dog can knock you over and sink his teeth into your neck. Also, let's see you in the shoes of the officer. You could be facing someone with armor pentetrating rounds, so you want to stun them and subdue them, not shoot on sight.
I hadn't heard about swatting before now (yeah I know, I've been living in a hole) but it sounds really terrible. It's crazy all the trouble that can come out of theses kind of things. Good points GFM.
+Mystogan Edolas LOl, I've witness a raid as a ride-along. They made me wear a military-grade helmet and 22-pound vest that has a crotchguard flap and even my flanks. I felt pretty damn safe. And when I asked if I could demonstrate how safe the armour is against a dog. They agreed to it, but I had to wear a "jacket" in case if he ripped off my arm. The dog tackled me and I wrestled the damn pooch for 45 secs. The lieutenant asked me how it was, I said. It's absolutely necessary to wear it. And the armour was so thick. It actually covers my neck. No way I could die. The protocol is bullshit.
Another point here is that these police men and women are human also, and swatting is just plain abuse towards them. A raid must be great mental stress on them anytime as they put their lives on the line. When the raid ends up being a swat and some awefull thing like harming an innocent like a baby or a family pet, it must be just horrible for them mentally.
I don't agree with the shooting of animals and flashbangs but you do realize people will put bombs on women and children and detonate so they kind had to
XNinjaMonkeyX123 hand cuffing the child is the safest thing to do. if they handcuff her, she can't pull out a weapon or sneak attack them. it will neutralize the possibility of the child becoming a threat (to the officers or to herself), and they can focus on real threats.
I get that it's rough and it seems foolish, but it seems justified from my idea. I'm north of the American border so I'm no expert on the protocol in America, but realistically, when there a possibility of someone going on a rampage or setting off a bomb, asking question becomes a secondary priority. If they try and peacefully get those people to stand down, that nut case will blow up the building faster than standing down. Also, these SWATs aren't tied to the state or city police or what have you, they are a federal force that have their own policy about this. So I thinking taking that time to check it out might feel like and easy thing for them, but spending that time figuring it out might be the difference between some doors and dogs, or an entire building, even if innocent people might get hurt.
Are people mad about the whole dog killing thing? It's natural for healthy dogs to bark and bite people, sometimes even their owners. So if the dog does attack the SWAT team, it'll seriously mess their mission up. Even middle sized dogs can kill a person almost instantly, and the SWAT team isn't taking any chances. Your dog may not bite people, but about 2/3 of other dogs in the world will, and they can kill people. Also, unless you or your family is into shady stuffs like drugs and whatnot, the SWAT team isn't going to bust down the door and assault you. They are not psychic so they can't tell if it's a prank call immediately(especially how the trolls are good actors), and they really can't start ignoring calls, because one of them might be a real terrorist or something, and people who says they'll sue the police department for their dog is just dumb. That's basically saying I'll sue you for something mendatory and something you don't have control of. I'm more upset about how the baby is in a coma because of the fucking stun grenade made for assaulting enemy soldiers and terrorist. Apparently a defenseless baby is worthless and shouldn't be protected compared to potentially murderous canines.
We are actually mad about both situations. However, there are some people in the world who care more about their dogs [family] than their babies. Its total bull I'll say but hey, that's what the world has come to.
Jason Ko Yea, I'll admit that is pretty low. But certainly not the lowest; you have people forming cannibalistic groups out there and many other creepy things. But I just don't see why people in this generation have thoughts like that.
How Ironic would it be for someone to swat someone and have the swat team (or whoever does this) arrive at there house to give them a reward for saving hostages as there was actually a hostage situation going on
Yeah they should only shoot if my innocent dog attempts to bite them, well my innocent dog will never, he rarely barks and has not so sharp teeth and he's really cute :
***** Im going to assume you are very young. People can train dogs for protection. and if you are going into a house that you are told has a terrorist or has a crazy man with a bomb/gun, and a big dog starts running at you when you brake in, im gunna shoot the dog. And Kevlar Armor is only on their helmets and vest, knee pads and elbow pads. None of which are where dogs go for when trying to get a hold.
I got swatted. They didn't kill my dogs. Why is that?? I live in a really small town, and we were all evacuated from the house. They didnt bust in and didnt throw in flashbangs. My dad put my dogs in the backyard and locked him outside. Would they have shot them otherwise??
Yes. That's very fucking wrong! I don't like his content either, but he doesn't deserve to have his home broken into, his dogs shot, and to be searched for things he doesn't have!
As much as I dislike the guy, that's pretty wrong. I think he has a dog, too. Dead dog and Swedish twink-lookin' dude goes to jail. Someone wins, somewhere, but the dog loses
***** Get rid of the unconstitutional, illegal, state funded terrorist group that has absolutely no legitimate purpose, legal or otherwise, and the problem goes away entirely. Why would you focus on finding stupid little kids who are doing nothing other than illuminating the glaring flaw in a fundamentally illegal terrorist operation? It isn't their fault there is a state funded terrorist group, they are merely taking advantage of the obvious flaws in the system. If your bank had an option where, if someone called and said a few magic words, your entire savings account got zeroed out, without any recourse, would you: A) switch bank or B) say that it isn't fair that someone called that number on you?
Melthornal You're kinda sick you know that? what about the people that are actually saved by swat teams? if the police lose that funding, what happens if there really is a terrorist attack? then all the whiner babies are going to complain that the police didn't protect them. you can't have it both ways.
All of the ones of people saved by swat teams, lets just unleash unchecked terror amongst the entire population, violently murdering dozens of people per year, injuring and traumatizing hundreds more, just on the off chance that ones of people might maybe be helped sorta kinda almost. You sound like a sociopath.
Damn this video was saying swatting was bad before some unfortunate person was killed. I don’t think I need to explain what happened over that $1 wager on Call of Duty WWII.
I don't think this can be stopped, but I do think it can be reduced to almost nothing by doing this: Issue a law that say that if found guilty of swatting you are sentenced for assault with deadly weapon, and if a shot is fired, or any injury have happened then the charge is automatically upgraded to attempted murder, and if guilty the only option for sentence is the MAX allowed by law, which I think is life, so that would be an extremely effective deterrent
tbh I think it'd be for the best is all Internet anonymity were to be removed. if you're not looking up anything you're not supposed to be looking up you've got nothing to worry about. it'll stop shit like this because at this point anonymity on the internet is hurting people. it allows for things like this to be done and for people to make others feel like crap without facing consequences. it'd be for the best.
You can't just "remove" anonymity. People will always find ways to conceal their identity. By trying to expose everyones' identity online regardless, you're simply putting the information of law-abiding citizens out there, giving criminals more ammunition for which to attack individual people, while those with malicious intent can still hide behind proxies and other masking systems to get off scot-free. So in other words, that's an absolutely terrible idea. Really, Karl Pilkington levels of forethought in your comment, mate.
+Melody Anonymous *reboot* ID say a good percentage of people willingly put their real name and profile pictures on things like RUclips for people to see, and never has there been a problem. why would that change if it was set like that for everyone. and you're really overthinking what I'm saying. just having your real name out would keep things like this from happening. I'm not saying to have your address, phone number, etc to put up for people to see, just a name. because at this point internet anonymity is being used for things like swatting, harassment, cyber bullying, drug trade, and many other crimes. doing more hard than good like I said
Blizzard Rush How would having your name on a social media profile or something stop you from hiding behind the Tor network again? Your suggestion would do nothing to stop any criminal with a frontal lobe, and would instead disadvantage innocents who have greater value over their privacy. If you want to put up your information online, that's your decision, and it should always be your decision. Anything further and you're causing people harm. The reason why having your name and face up rarely causes harm(read: rarely. It still does sometimes) is because the individual is for the most part in control of that and will only release their own information at their own discretion. Have you even thought about how such a system would work, by the way? You're talking about this as if this sort of thing could be implemented tomorrow. The Internet isn't run by any central governing body, or company. There is literally no standardization about the internet other than the bare minimum required to connect to it. Even ISPs have a very loose grasp on their customers. You're speaking the ravings of a madman, who knows nothing about how the internet works, how computers work or how crime works. I'm sure you're a capable person in other areas, but in this particular discussion, you sound like an absolute looney to me.
One of these days someone is gonna be streaming some light-gun game or a Wii game and there gonna get swatted and they're gonna come out of the room with the remote or the fake gun and a cop is gonna think it's real and he's gonna shoot. Swatting needs to be stopped before something like this happens.
The only way to top false reports is to improve the verification methods, since I don't have inside information I can't offer much help in that area unfortunately. Ignoring the potential tragedy of losing your household pet something like this could also draw valuable resources away from a genuine situation in which swat is needed. In this growing era of "Black Lives Matter" and other hate groups targeting even people who support the police this is doubly true. Let us hope someone or someones is able to accomplish this and end this "swatting".
does the dog thing apply to all dogs including small or non-agressive dogs ? i have a poodle and a bulldog there both sweethearts and i love them to death. plz reply i must know im curious
200 lb person breaks into my house with full military tactical equipment and wearing 50 lbs of Bullet proof armor, including full face protection. . . Shoots my 15 lb dogs who are doing nothing wrong by alerting me of an intruder. . . still calls himself a MAN when he goes home to pet his dog later that night. I have watched animal services catch raccoons, capture stray and aggressive dogs, wrestle alligators in public all while making sure the animal, who is not a pet or even cared about for that matter, is safe and alive and yet this is the best that "super trained and skilled" SWAT officers (soldiers at this point) can do? SHAME!!!!
If people keep abusing their right to be anonymous on the internet, they are going to lose it. I enjoy my right to be anonymous, but not for any evil intentions. I just like my privacy. Let's say hypothetically your computer has to be searched after a swatting and they find some pirated copies of movies. You'll be looking at decades of jail time just for that.
It's honestly extremely stupid someone would ever even think of doing something like swatting. Seriously, those swat officers didn't go through years of training to arrest an innocent gamer because some neckbearded idiot online thought it would be funny, and the livestreamers have done nothing wrong to deserve something like that to happen to them.
Wow. Why do they have to kill the dog? I mean, if he/she ATTACKED, such as trying to bite, claw, etc, it makes sense for them to temporarily stun the dog, but the people on the team probably have armor and stuff that a common dog wouldnt be able to pierce. Anyones thoughts on this?
FUCKING IDIOTS SWAT CALLS CAN HAPPEN ANYWHERE I HAD A NEIGHBOR WHILE I WAS VISITING MY FAMILY IN SCOTTLAND GET A SWAT TEAM CALLED ON THEM MULTIPLE TIMES INFACT AND HE HAD NOTHING WRONG IN HIS HOUSE
I don't consider myself a gamer or a geek anymore, and I blame it onto a lot of the people I share my hobbies with and which have this kind of behaviour. I just consider myself now a person that can enjoy games, comics, animation, fantasy, sci-fi... because I wouldn't be caught dead in the same denomination as these people. I really cringe when I try to imagine the kind of world that the people that have made me stop reivindicating geekdom will create when their time comes to hold the wheel. These swatting people take this as a joke, when there are still civil wars around the world where people report their neighbours anonymously to one of the warring sides and get them killed sometimes just out of envy or personal grudges. These people who also hadn't ever heard or cared about feminism until it came to spoil their secluded fun. These people who will sign petitions en masse for games NOT to come onto the systems where other people can enjoy them... anyone think they won't "grow" to become the most rancid of the right wings always petitioning for sectors of the population NOT to get some rights just so that they can feel superior by having them? In the end, videogames are just another media, and we can't just pretend we're some kind of family or society with the same thoughts and goals. It's even alleviating. But it really, really annoys me that this is still so pervasive.
I cannot believe the madness 1. Dogs being shot and i have 2 dogs 2. If you like playing FPS games and you're holding a toy gun they might think its real 3. Imagine the jumpscares of a no knock raid 4. The SWAT can enter your house while you are taking a shower and that would be embarrising 5. You can get sent to jail for something you did not do 6. You can DIE 7.if you are a little kid like 3 years old then too bad you did'nt get to see the rest of your life.
It's upsetting actually. Raises a lot of questions for me also like how come cops don't do proper procedures for abuse but can shoot a dog in a raid? Some things cops do around where I live is an eye raiser really.
SWAT: GET DOWN ON THE FLOOR
Fish: **glup**
SWAT: SHOOT THE FISH!
I feel that swatting is something that people get away with too easily, especially because of how illegal it is.
I feel the same way.
people get away with worse, you'd be surprised how powerless country x is when someone in country y hacks, or swatts them
Fun Fact: I had an alternative ending where I was pinned down by a SWAT team, but it didn't feel appropriate with the serious tone of the rest of the video.

That footage of the young girl being cuffed was admittedly pretty sad to watch.
If it was a hostage they would be cuffed
If it was a civilian they would be cuffed
I don't know why they do it. They just do.
Puppetman64 They do it because the child might pose a threat. The cops have no idea what they're in for so they have to make sure. Even kids can be dangerous.
It's in case the child was brought up to kill, or armed with a bomb. They have to do it.
Andrew Ryan yeah
is that the same with civilians?
+Puppetman64 A SWAT Team is made for EMERGENCIES that involve quick and fast acting on the behalf of the law. School Shootings are a prime example. Though it isn't the same. SWAT is quick and effective in taking out dangerous targets before anything more can be done. Police don't do that because while they do handle emergencies, they won't be as big as a SWAT Team.

OHHHH MLG DORITOS SHREKT MATE SHREEEEK
So people dieing over a fake call is now a joke your a disgrace to humanity
+Eugene Mclay people spelling dying as dieing is what kills me.

If you stream and have a face cam and or at least have over.....I'd say 1000-5000 watchers, call your local or nearest police station and warn them about the possibility that someone may try to do this to you, and have them call you if they receive a certain type of call like a bomb threat or something serious like that. It could be the difference between life and death for you streamers out there.
Great idea.
Bump
@@No-gh3gz I wrote this 7 years ago man.
There is also another possibility you didn't consider. Many American have LEGALLY acquired and legally own fire arms. I know of one case where a resident had suffered a very violent home invasion robbery in which both his wife and 14 year old daughter were violently raped while he watched, helplessly tied to a chair. Both women required surgery and extensive hospital stays and the young girl will now never have children of her own.
About a year later someone swatted him. Thinking he was about to suffer another home invasion he opened fire. The police returned fire and he was killed instantly.
Personally I think the responsibility for these tragedies rest solely on the police. The US constitution requires reasonable suspicion of a crime before they are allowed enter and search a property (car or home or storage locker). An anonymous tip should NOT be consider "reasonable evidence". The police need to pull back and think about what they are doing here. Especially considering the number of false alarms they are encountering.
I don't think local municipal police should even have swat teams. Special Weapons And Tactics should only be used on the state and federal levels. And a through investigation needs to be done BEFORE a swat team is deployed. Most municipal towns have no need for swat teams EVER. When you have small poorly trained local police agencies deploying SWAT teams it is just asking for trouble.
911 callers should have to give their name at the least. Most calls are not fake, mind you.
+EvaMobile8 In many countries telling your name is a must.
Considering the number...
Is the last thing I see here
Well shit
EvaMobile8
Every time I have called 911 I have been asked my name. However in reporting an emergency getting the name of the caller should be a lower priority.
@@EvaMobile8 you do have to give your name however these callers will use a fake name so they can't be found as easily
There was also the incident where a police woman shooted and killed a kid during a raid because the kid was holding a wii remote.
Shot* and sources of this happening please?
I could make a sexist joke right now.
ReviewtechUSA covered it
That's so sad. They seriously can't tell apart a gun from a Wii Remote?
TalesOfGamerz when you say "The USA needs to calm its tits." that is mocking and why bring up SWAT shooting down a suspect when we are talking shooting animals as a standard procedure and for the shooting of suspects you do know they might...oh my goodness...chase the suspect who would have thought i mean it is not like they have extra men from the outside waiting just in-case someone tries to run
"Yes officer i'd like to report potential terrorist activity on planet mars."
Swatting should be attac hed to attempted murder, if the streamer panics because of swat members storming in their room and they get shot, it's on their shoulders that they got a person killed or wounded
And now someone's been killed because of swatting...
I heard about a guy who got swatted, and when they broke down his door, he thought it was a brake in and grabbed his gun, and shot a police officer and then he was shot. Both thankfully survived. People need to realize how deadly this actually is...

Damn son, protocol in a no knock raid to just blast a dog on sight and throw flashbangs with no repercussion even if the guy being swatted is innocent...I'm glad that swatting doesn't exist in the UK, they just send officers over to assess the situation rather than blowing your entire house because of a random call.
+Mr Brightside And it's not like a random anonymous call instantly makes someone a threat.
+Scuttlebutt Island piss off
People wonder why we like them to get warrants and such instead of just swatting or abusing red flag laws.
Really just makes things worse
Just thinking about my dog being shot makes me cry!
Me too ;(, give me an internet hug!
Elliot Tipton *hug*
(sniff) Thanks person I don't know IRL.
Swatting is a very tricky situation now. If they take every call seriously, they have the potential of wasting thousands of dollars raiding innocent people and even causing injury or death. On the other hand, if they start not taking these calls as serious due to how many of these prank swatting calls are made, then this helps real terrorists who will use this diminished reaction of these types of threats to their advantage.
Well 9/10 times no one(not involved in the act) knows that a terrorist attack is going to occur.
IntelligentReality behold the works of 4chan! the worst people in the world
Isaiah Stubblefield That's not true. Dozens, even hundreds of actual terror attacks have been thwarted in the past two years alone. You just don't hear about them, because they don't occur.
Amazing GFM, it's great that you rose awareness because at my brothers school there was a fake call about a week ago. Thanks for putting games aside and informing your audience.
Also note that some streamers, such as MrRepzion, are armed with small firearms (for self defense purposes). And even if they have a gun licence and a registered weapon, seeing it on the victim's hands might cause the authorities to *shoot on sight*.
There are multiple cases of people, usually people of color, being shot on sight for having something that's not even remotely shaped like a gun.
I can go on and list how a kid was shot and killed by an officer because his Wii remoted "looked like a gun" or how a black dude was shot in a public place because he had a fake sword (he was cosplaying, shot on the back), or a Nerf gun (how come white people can walk around with assault rifles but when a black dude carries a dart gun or an air pistol they shoot first and never ask questions?). This is not about race, but SWAT officers are very serious and very violent when responding to emergency calls.
Why could you walk around inside your home holding the guns anyway. I like MrRepzion but I think owning guns for any reason other than hunting is dumb.
You need to know these incidents are far and few between. But because of how media coverage works the world has become very cynical as of late.
Dacew Ka
And that happens often in the US or what?
Dacew Ka
That's exactly why they have to stop breaking into people's homes, it's really uncivilized. Makes you wonder if there's any real difference between countries anymore. We're quick to judge places like the middle east but people are crazy everywhere...
Dacew Ka They should take it seriously, but they still need to investigate. Not just break in the second they get the call.
I had been "swatted" before I knew what it was, back in 2009-2010. I was having a party and someone called the cops saying there was a dead body, and they had been murdered. At least 12 cops busted down my front door, with their guns drawn, and had almost arrested me. I was 14-15 at the time, it's literally a terrifying situation.. it really shouldn't be a thing.
i'm getting annoyed at all the anti cop things. they're simply doing their job. blame the idiots who think is a funny joke to call 911. (of course im not saying police brutality doesn't exist, it sure as hell does, but sometimes the internet blames the cops a little to much)
Agreed, Seriously, the disrespect police officers that don't do anything wrong and try to be good people is outrageous.
Also not a big fan of the generalization of Americans here since the overwhelming majority would do this.
I work with police dispatchers so the thing that pisses me off is the fact that people assume it's possible to determine pranks versus actual threats. It's not. If someone planted a bomb in your place of work and the police deemed that tip as a prank you'd be complaining about inaction on the police force's part. Ignorant punks.
I've personally been swatted mid-stream before. I'm lucky enough to live in an area that only sent out several police officers, one of which I know personally, but it is still a very scary thing and a massive waste of time/resources.If it does happen to any of you, my suggestion is to comply with whatever the officers are telling you, answer all of their questions and explain to them that you're a streamer and its a prank. Also, if you have time (i.e. you get "lucky" like I did and don't have them break your door down and throw you to the ground at gunpoint, mute your mic and deactivate your webcam. When you get back, try remaining as calm as you can, laugh it off if you can, and try not making a huge deal out of it. The less the trolls can see you react, the less fun it is for them. Just be careful guys.
This is horrible and I had no idea this was going on. Good thing I am not in America. They might shoot my cats >:
I guess that could happen by mistake but it was primary dogs as they could attack. Still sick though. How about knocking the door first and asking if they could investigate. Why so dramatic eh? Who knows, I'm not American either so I dunno what's normal over there. Maybe they think everyone carries a gun and that's why they kick the door open loaded with firearms.
TalesOfGamerz I live in America. I wish I didn't.
TalesOfGamerz
i`m not from the US either, and the only thing i think of why going in houses armed is because of the second emendment (sorry if i wrote it wrong) that assures that every US citizen has the right to get guns
*****
I'm sure America got it's good points but things like this just seems beyond insane for me. Can anyone just call and report a criminal living in whatever area and they'll come loaded with an army ready to blow up the house? I don't know what to think really.
TalesOfGamerz Basically...there are some people in this world that think they can get innocent people and animals killed.
how we can make this better: instead of the SWAT team breaking down doors, shooting dogs, and arrest the streamer on sight without asking them anything, they could just walk into the house, until they see the streamer to see if they're doing anything wrong. the streamer explains, and the SWAT team leaves
I agree, but breaking down the door still should happen, due to the fact they can hide everything.
+ZSXDFV 2 If you've watched any UK swattings, that is basically what they do. Anyways, what if the person who called in saying they murdered their entire family. You politely knock, and you get shot in the head through the door. You politely knock, the guy escapes. You politely knock, a grenade goes off on the other side of the door. You politely knock, and the door opened and the guy stabs you 37 times in the chest (Llamas with Hats reference, get it? No? I'll just go then...)
The whole comment section is just "if they killed my dog I would kill them" etc.
Yeah unless these people constantly have armour that can block assault rufles on and are holding a gun trying to shoot a trained, armed, and armoured officer is ridiculous.

maybe you shouldnt have gotten a dog

FlameHazeTheAwesome Teach your dog to put his hands up when he/she see's a gun problem solved.
FlameHazeTheAwesome phew english doesn't have swat teams my little pugster will be fine :D
If you stream and see your address in the comments, call the police and ask them to come over.

thank you for making this video seriously! someone needed to say this!

Take me with you :c
Where are you moving the UK to?
Don't worry, he said he'll be right back to get us. Just have to wait
But we have a knife problem I guess nowhere safe
Swatting Still Happens There, But The SWAT Is Chill
Holy crap, I leave your channel for a couple years and I come back to this? I am proud of this great change of size and am happy that you have grown and matured.
Am I the only one who noticed gamer from mars is like jacked now? I remember he was like a pudgy kid BUT DAMN HE IS BUILT LIKE A DAMN TANK!
also in certain situations, actual emergencies (like robbery) could go without punishment all because someone decided to call 911 as a prank
Aka: Why the U.S. Police force should stop deploying SWAT teams without anything more than hearsay
"Oh no, we have to arrest the girl, she might throw her candy at us while we have bullet proof suits."
2:21 I KNOW the officers of the law employed to protect this "Fine country" DID NOT just try to cuff a four year old little girl what are you going to say when she is in jail? She's a domestic terrorist this isn't the boondocks you cant do that! :(
+James Wright She could have had a bomb strapped to her rigged to go off on the press of a button. The world is fucked up, you never know what could really be happening.
wHATZIT tOYA yep.
+wHATZIT tOYA Now you sound like a cop, Did it look like she had bomb? If she had a bomb, she would say she did. Must suicide bombers announce that there is bombing before they pull the trigger. That is called terrorism. People are suppose to be scared amidst an assault. You have no idea about real-world terrorism.
Decline To state. you do not know what you are talking about. Just because sometimes terrorists announce what they're doing. And explosives such as C4 can be extremely destructive even when the amound is extremely small. It could have been strapped to her underneath of her shirt, in her pants, it could have been in her damn asshole. Terrorists are ruthless and will do anything to try to cause distruction. As a SWAT unit or police officer, you ALWAYS have to assume the worst. In vietnam, they used children for warfare. No one is too innocent to be a terrorist.
wHATZIT tOYA This is america, not Iraq. You idiot. I went to war, You're the ignorant one. And a small amount of C4 wouldnt kill several armed men who already have ballistics protection. I was told a small 12 ounce of C4 can destroy a small shed. So a 18 gram tube shoved up her butt would only kill her. You need to study explosives, kid. You dont know what you're talking about. Moron.
Well SWATting was still a fear of mine ever since I started hearing of it, you provided information about SWAT that made me fear it even more. Overall I think it's ridiculous just how extreme people can be just for revenge over losing in multiplayer, or even just pulling a prank. Just how many psychopaths are in this world? Many I presume.
I dont think my dog will be killed in the UK.
Blorp Yeah, your cops don't even have guns lol.
Did u rly just say they don't have guns lol
Finn Anderson Well... They don't.
Blorp Well they do. just not basic police in london most police carry guns
Finn Anderson London =/= UK
With all the armor and shit they wear plus the fact swat teams come in large groups, there's no reason they couldn't wait until the dog actually tried to attack them. Worse that could happen doing that is one might get a bite mark on their armor. Definitely makes more sense to kill a family's loved pet when they don't even know if the people they're raiding are going to be guilty. Oh but America isn't becoming a police state. Where a swat team can tear your families house apart and kill your beloved pets, who can be like family members, all without any evidence. Just a phone call that doesn't even have to give their name or any identity at all. America, the home of the free.
Which is why I cheer each time I see dead pig on the news anywhere in the world.
A dog can knock you over and sink his teeth into your neck. Also, let's see you in the shoes of the officer. You could be facing someone with armor pentetrating rounds, so you want to stun them and subdue them, not shoot on sight.
+chdreturns Not everyone in America is like this. Dont be racist, BTW I'm Mexican, not white.
+Lord Absolute Bagel But that's not what cops do. They all shoot.
Ryan all u said is true this is how murica is
I hadn't cared much until you talked about the dog
I hadn't heard about swatting before now (yeah I know, I've been living in a hole) but it sounds really terrible. It's crazy all the trouble that can come out of theses kind of things. Good points GFM.
I don't like the "shoot dogs on sight" thing, but I do understand it.
If a big dog jumps a human, even with a knife on you, you will proberbly die.
Have you seen the type of armour SWAT teams have?
Brad McLad
Yes, and it provides no protection from a dog attack.....unless ofc you are talking about the bomb-squad armor.
+Mystogan Edolas LOl, I've witness a raid as a ride-along. They made me wear a military-grade helmet and 22-pound vest that has a crotchguard flap and even my flanks. I felt pretty damn safe. And when I asked if I could demonstrate how safe the armour is against a dog. They agreed to it, but I had to wear a "jacket" in case if he ripped off my arm. The dog tackled me and I wrestled the damn pooch for 45 secs. The lieutenant asked me how it was, I said. It's absolutely necessary to wear it. And the armour was so thick. It actually covers my neck. No way I could die. The protocol is bullshit.
+Mystogan Edolas what if that dog is a chichuahua, be honest with yourself what could a god damn chichuahua do?
Lord Charzard I call those things ankle-biters, just kick them.
Another point here is that these police men and women are human also, and swatting is just plain abuse towards them. A raid must be great mental stress on them anytime as they put their lives on the line. When the raid ends up being a swat and some awefull thing like harming an innocent like a baby or a family pet, it must be just horrible for them mentally.
Look closely at 2:21-2:22. THEY WERE HANDCUFFING A 5 YEAR OLD GIRL
Well dude, it's a freaking bomb threat. Their goona arrest everyone for safety purposes. They didn't shoot her
TheBanannaPanda They should just pick her up or something
TheBanannaPanda If they were 5-year-old terrorists
I don't agree with the shooting of animals and flashbangs but you do realize people will put bombs on women and children and detonate so they kind had to
XNinjaMonkeyX123 hand cuffing the child is the safest thing to do. if they handcuff her, she can't pull out a weapon or sneak attack them. it will neutralize the possibility of the child becoming a threat (to the officers or to herself), and they can focus on real threats.
I get that it's rough and it seems foolish, but it seems justified from my idea. I'm north of the American border so I'm no expert on the protocol in America, but realistically, when there a possibility of someone going on a rampage or setting off a bomb, asking question becomes a secondary priority. If they try and peacefully get those people to stand down, that nut case will blow up the building faster than standing down. Also, these SWATs aren't tied to the state or city police or what have you, they are a federal force that have their own policy about this. So I thinking taking that time to check it out might feel like and easy thing for them, but spending that time figuring it out might be the difference between some doors and dogs, or an entire building, even if innocent people might get hurt.
You're absolutely right.
Tl;dr

Are people mad about the whole dog killing thing? It's natural for healthy dogs to bark and bite people, sometimes even their owners. So if the dog does attack the SWAT team, it'll seriously mess their mission up. Even middle sized dogs can kill a person almost instantly, and the SWAT team isn't taking any chances. Your dog may not bite people, but about 2/3 of other dogs in the world will, and they can kill people.
Also, unless you or your family is into shady stuffs like drugs and whatnot, the SWAT team isn't going to bust down the door and assault you. They are not psychic so they can't tell if it's a prank call immediately(especially how the trolls are good actors), and they really can't start ignoring calls, because one of them might be a real terrorist or something, and people who says they'll sue the police department for their dog is just dumb. That's basically saying I'll sue you for something mendatory and something you don't have control of.
I'm more upset about how the baby is in a coma because of the fucking stun grenade made for assaulting enemy soldiers and terrorist. Apparently a defenseless baby is worthless and shouldn't be protected compared to potentially murderous canines.
We are actually mad about both situations. However, there are some people in the world who care more about their dogs [family] than their babies. Its total bull I'll say but hey, that's what the world has come to.
Mister Jorden wow. Human dignity have never been this low before.
Jason Ko What exactly do you mean by that?
Mister Jorden I saw someone who said he'll rather save a dog from a burning building than a stranger.
Jason Ko Yea, I'll admit that is pretty low. But certainly not the lowest; you have people forming cannibalistic groups out there and many other creepy things. But I just don't see why people in this generation have thoughts like that.
Very informative, and concerning... thanks for the upload, you seem to be a very thoughtful and intelligent host, you've gained a fan!

is there a link to the full clip at 1:35
DURR HURR FURST WOW IM KOOL
HURP DERP BLOO SHELLL IM ORIGNIAL HAHAHAHA
I know, so many little brats and their "first" comments. How 'bout writing a real comment about the video. lol
Because writing a comment that has nothing to do with the video was SO much better than those who just put 'first'.
EnigmaticScarecrow
Someone needs to speak up and complain when people spam.
TalesOfGamerz I guess... but that happens on like... every video. Not to mention we all know it sucks. :P
Perhaps RUclips should make a filter towards any comment with just the word "First" or "1st"?
How Ironic would it be for someone to swat someone and have the swat team (or whoever does this) arrive at there house to give them a reward for saving hostages as there was actually a hostage situation going on
THIS MAKES ME REALLY MAD. WHY WOULD THEY SHOOT THE DOG. FOR CRAPS SAKE, IT DID NOTHING!!!! D:
Yeah they should only shoot if my innocent dog attempts to bite them, well my innocent dog will never, he rarely barks and has not so sharp teeth and he's really cute :
If a larger dog gets hold of your leg it can rip open the main artery thats goes down you leg and you will bleed out in seconds
***** Im going to assume you are very young. People can train dogs for protection. and if you are going into a house that you are told has a terrorist or has a crazy man with a bomb/gun, and a big dog starts running at you when you brake in, im gunna shoot the dog. And Kevlar Armor is only on their helmets and vest, knee pads and elbow pads. None of which are where dogs go for when trying to get a hold.
***** If you can find me a report that an swatman shot a dog smaller then a foot tall, please link it. Otherwise, just stop.
The seriously messed up thing is that when there is an actual terror threat they may not take it seriously.
Advice of the day for any livestreamer:
Move out of the United States.
I got swatted. They didn't kill my dogs. Why is that?? I live in a really small town, and we were all evacuated from the house. They didnt bust in and didnt throw in flashbangs. My dad put my dogs in the backyard and locked him outside. Would they have shot them otherwise??
Is it wrong of me that I want this to happen to people like Pewdiepie?
[Flame Shield Equipped]
it would be more complicated because he dosent live in the US
but it is still wrong
no, so please don`t do that
yes and no
Yes. That's very fucking wrong! I don't like his content either, but he doesn't deserve to have his home broken into, his dogs shot, and to be searched for things he doesn't have!
As much as I dislike the guy, that's pretty wrong. I think he has a dog, too. Dead dog and Swedish twink-lookin' dude goes to jail. Someone wins, somewhere, but the dog loses
Swat is not trained to shoot pets. I am a former police officer. What are you thinking?
Getting rid of domestic terrorism, aka SWAT teams, would be the logical solution to this problem.
Shouldn't they track down the one who called them in the first place?
If you don't mind me saying?
***** Get rid of the unconstitutional, illegal, state funded terrorist group that has absolutely no legitimate purpose, legal or otherwise, and the problem goes away entirely. Why would you focus on finding stupid little kids who are doing nothing other than illuminating the glaring flaw in a fundamentally illegal terrorist operation? It isn't their fault there is a state funded terrorist group, they are merely taking advantage of the obvious flaws in the system.
If your bank had an option where, if someone called and said a few magic words, your entire savings account got zeroed out, without any recourse, would you: A) switch bank or B) say that it isn't fair that someone called that number on you?
Melthornal I would pick C)
:)
Melthornal You're kinda sick you know that? what about the people that are actually saved by swat teams? if the police lose that funding, what happens if there really is a terrorist attack? then all the whiner babies are going to complain that the police didn't protect them. you can't have it both ways.
All of the ones of people saved by swat teams, lets just unleash unchecked terror amongst the entire population, violently murdering dozens of people per year, injuring and traumatizing hundreds more, just on the off chance that ones of people might maybe be helped sorta kinda almost.
You sound like a sociopath.
Damn this video was saying swatting was bad before some unfortunate person was killed. I don’t think I need to explain what happened over that $1 wager on Call of Duty WWII.
What's the name of the song at 3:40
Darude - Sandstorm
whats that map in 3:44
for tf2
I don't think this can be stopped, but I do think it can be reduced to almost nothing by doing this: Issue a law that say that if found guilty of swatting you are sentenced for assault with deadly weapon, and if a shot is fired, or any injury have happened then the charge is automatically upgraded to attempted murder, and if guilty the only option for sentence is the MAX allowed by law, which I think is life, so that would be an extremely effective deterrent
Who makes your ending music?
Not to sound like I wasn't paying attention but what tf2 hud was that
I remember when you used to make videos about creepy games! Look at how far you've come! Congrats.
tbh I think it'd be for the best is all Internet anonymity were to be removed. if you're not looking up anything you're not supposed to be looking up you've got nothing to worry about. it'll stop shit like this because at this point anonymity on the internet is hurting people. it allows for things like this to be done and for people to make others feel like crap without facing consequences. it'd be for the best.
You can't just "remove" anonymity. People will always find ways to conceal their identity.
By trying to expose everyones' identity online regardless, you're simply putting the information of law-abiding citizens out there, giving criminals more ammunition for which to attack individual people, while those with malicious intent can still hide behind proxies and other masking systems to get off scot-free.
So in other words, that's an absolutely terrible idea. Really, Karl Pilkington levels of forethought in your comment, mate.
+Melody Anonymous *reboot* ID say a good percentage of people willingly put their real name and profile pictures on things like RUclips for people to see, and never has there been a problem. why would that change if it was set like that for everyone. and you're really overthinking what I'm saying. just having your real name out would keep things like this from happening. I'm not saying to have your address, phone number, etc to put up for people to see, just a name. because at this point internet anonymity is being used for things like swatting, harassment, cyber bullying, drug trade, and many other crimes. doing more hard than good like I said
Blizzard Rush How would having your name on a social media profile or something stop you from hiding behind the Tor network again?
Your suggestion would do nothing to stop any criminal with a frontal lobe, and would instead disadvantage innocents who have greater value over their privacy.
If you want to put up your information online, that's your decision, and it should always be your decision. Anything further and you're causing people harm.
The reason why having your name and face up rarely causes harm(read: rarely. It still does sometimes) is because the individual is for the most part in control of that and will only release their own information at their own discretion.
Have you even thought about how such a system would work, by the way? You're talking about this as if this sort of thing could be implemented tomorrow. The Internet isn't run by any central governing body, or company. There is literally no standardization about the internet other than the bare minimum required to connect to it. Even ISPs have a very loose grasp on their customers.
You're speaking the ravings of a madman, who knows nothing about how the internet works, how computers work or how crime works. I'm sure you're a capable person in other areas, but in this particular discussion, you sound like an absolute looney to me.
Mr. Enter warned me about swatting, and I have to thank him for that.
*Before video* Haha swatting is hilarious! *After i find out dogs can be shot because of this* Swatters must be burned alive!
dragonkill5 I almost had the same mindset, but I thought it was horrible already from the start, considering how it wasted SWAT team time.
Every member of the swat team has ever shot a dog on purpose deserves to be burned alive
+Pokemon is cool But what if that dog they shot was about to tear them apart
GreenToxic-Gaming that's not the point they are allowed to shoot innocent dogs with no penalty if they were wrong
I meant if a dog was running at you about to tear you apart
Ok there should be repercussions for a SWATT team shooting and killing a beloved a pet if the person is 100% innocent
Sad thing is, it’s still happening.
I just love the little girls hiding spot HAHAAH LOL
One of these days someone is gonna be streaming some light-gun game or a Wii game and there gonna get swatted and they're gonna come out of the room with the remote or the fake gun and a cop is gonna think it's real and he's gonna shoot. Swatting needs to be stopped before something like this happens.
The only way to top false reports is to improve the verification methods, since I don't have inside information I can't offer much help in that area unfortunately. Ignoring the potential tragedy of losing your household pet something like this could also draw valuable resources away from a genuine situation in which swat is needed. In this growing era of "Black Lives Matter" and other hate groups targeting even people who support the police this is doubly true. Let us hope someone or someones is able to accomplish this and end this "swatting".
does the dog thing apply to all dogs including small or non-agressive dogs ? i have a poodle and a bulldog there both sweethearts and i love them to death. plz reply i must know im curious
200 lb person breaks into my house with full military tactical equipment and wearing 50 lbs of Bullet proof armor, including full face protection. . . Shoots my 15 lb dogs who are doing nothing wrong by alerting me of an intruder. . . still calls himself a MAN when he goes home to pet his dog later that night.
I have watched animal services catch raccoons, capture stray and aggressive dogs, wrestle alligators in public all while making sure the animal, who is not a pet or even cared about for that matter, is safe and alive and yet this is the best that "super trained and skilled" SWAT officers (soldiers at this point) can do? SHAME!!!!
If people keep abusing their right to be anonymous on the internet, they are going to lose it. I enjoy my right to be anonymous, but not for any evil intentions. I just like my privacy. Let's say hypothetically your computer has to be searched after a swatting and they find some pirated copies of movies. You'll be looking at decades of jail time just for that.
Dude they cuffed that little kid
At 1:34 I was like, "Wow, Call of Duty's graphics have really stepped up" and then I realized it was real life .-.
It's honestly extremely stupid someone would ever even think of doing something like swatting. Seriously, those swat officers didn't go through years of training to arrest an innocent gamer because some neckbearded idiot online thought it would be funny, and the livestreamers have done nothing wrong to deserve something like that to happen to them.
can you show me the link to the video
Bruh he really boutta handcuff that Lil ass girl
Wow. Why do they have to kill the dog? I mean, if he/she ATTACKED, such as trying to bite, claw, etc, it makes sense for them to temporarily stun the dog, but the people on the team probably have armor and stuff that a common dog wouldnt be able to pierce. Anyones thoughts on this?
Notice how when a swat team bangs on the door they dont even give time for someone to open it and just break it :/
What was the game at 3:48

Hey TheGamerFromMars Can you please post the alternated ending for this video.
I don't consider myself a gamer or a geek anymore, and I blame it onto a lot of the people I share my hobbies with and which have this kind of behaviour. I just consider myself now a person that can enjoy games, comics, animation, fantasy, sci-fi... because I wouldn't be caught dead in the same denomination as these people. I really cringe when I try to imagine the kind of world that the people that have made me stop reivindicating geekdom will create when their time comes to hold the wheel. These swatting people take this as a joke, when there are still civil wars around the world where people report their neighbours anonymously to one of the warring sides and get them killed sometimes just out of envy or personal grudges. These people who also hadn't ever heard or cared about feminism until it came to spoil their secluded fun. These people who will sign petitions en masse for games NOT to come onto the systems where other people can enjoy them... anyone think they won't "grow" to become the most rancid of the right wings always petitioning for sectors of the population NOT to get some rights just so that they can feel superior by having them? In the end, videogames are just another media, and we can't just pretend we're some kind of family or society with the same thoughts and goals. It's even alleviating. But it really, really annoys me that this is still so pervasive.
Dude, not every freaking gamer would do this. Not every gamer is an idiot. Calm down
I cannot believe the madness 1. Dogs being shot and i have 2 dogs 2. If you like playing FPS games and you're holding a toy gun they might think its real 3. Imagine the jumpscares of a no knock raid 4. The SWAT can enter your house while you are taking a shower and that would be embarrising 5. You can get sent to jail for something you did not do 6. You can DIE 7.if you are a little kid like 3 years old then too bad you did'nt get to see the rest of your life.
Some one answer plz, just dogs ir all pets? If its just dogs thats still crap in a can, i mean whi would do this?
It's upsetting actually. Raises a lot of questions for me also like how come cops don't do proper procedures for abuse but can shoot a dog in a raid? Some things cops do around where I live is an eye raiser really.
Why do you change the thumbnail for this video everytime? Or is it just me
2:20 The SWAT have to cuff the children? Lmao
