Discuss the title. Background for people who are not familiar with Swatting: [url=http://www.dictionary.com/browse/swatting]SWATting: Usually, swat. (especially among online video gamers) to cause a SWAT team to be deployed on (an unsuspecting victim) by falsifying a threat, often as a punishment or retaliation[/url]. [url=http://beta.latimes.com/local/lanow/la-me-swatting-suspect-canada-20180110-story.html]Due to a recent case of swatting going wrong, an innocent person was killed by the police as a result of a prank call between two people playing a video game. [/url] An innocent life was lost because of the swatting, and also a waste of time and resources on the police's end, because of an idiotic act such as this. Swatting is most commonly done to twitch streamers, or streamers in general, just to watch the person get arrested on camera, using some trumped up BS reason. Swatting accomplishes absolutely nothing other than putting a life in danger when there was no reason for the victim to be in danger in the first place. Should swatters be charged for making phony calls to the police, and in the unfortunate event that someone ends up dying because of swatting, should the person who committed the swatting be arrested and charged with a felony? (Police around the US have gotten much smarter about this tactic over time too. Some departments can even trace false calls back to the source.) Edit: I know it's old news, but it's also good discussion to talk about.
