At 6:18 p.m., an officer working at City Hall received a call from an unknown man who said there was a disturbance with his father. When dispatchers spoke with the caller, he said he got into an argument with his mother and shot his father. “They were arguing and I shot him in the head, and he’s not breathing anymore,” the caller said. Asked if he had any weapons on him, the caller said, “Yeah I do.” He then said he was standing by his mother’s closet holding a black handgun. “I’m just pointing the gun at them, making sure they stay in the closet,” the caller said. When the dispatcher asked if he could put the gun down, he said no. He then made further threats. “I already poured gasoline all over the house, I might just set it on fire,” he told the dispatcher. “Do you have my address correct?”

It seems to me that online gamers should have live vital statistics being evaluated by a clinical psychiatrist/psychologist.
It might be very revealing about the current state of mind these people have.
It's pretty damn disgusting that a video game is more important than a human being.

I heard yesterday that gaming addiction is a mental illness that will be included in the nut job book, with the rest.

Glad I kicked the play station habit.

Maybe SWAT teams need to do better intel before barging in and killing everyone?

So what, they sit around and research for awhile, maybe check twitch channels and 4chan to see if there is anything happening there...wait a few hours during a potential hostage crisis?
Imagine a real event of proper psychopaths about to murder people, and swat deciding to just dick around seeing if there is a real threat...people would be up in arms about the lack of response.
What you are arguing for is magic...to know based on ? what is and isn't a real active emergency. Think about it.

Pulse Nightclub Orlando, 2016 is only the most recent example. The shooter called multiple times and disclosed to dispatch exactly what he did, and for who he declared allegiance too, and as to why he was doing it. It happens, and that was not the only recorded instance over the years where a killer has done just such. There have also been killers who have taunted dispatch in the past of their active crimes.
I could post those calls as well, but it will likely not be a good enough example to most who will not see the perspective from the damned if you do damned if you don't police officers.
An alleged serial "prankster" from California has been arrested over a fake 911 call that resulted in police fatally shooting an unarmed Kansas man earlier this week, officials said.
Tyler Barriss — a 25-year-old gamer suspected of making the false police report that led to the death of Wichita resident Andrew Finch — was cuffed by Los Angeles cops late Friday. The catastrophic prank Barriss carried out, known as "swatting," has gained traction in online gaming communities and typically involves a person making up a story about an ongoing violent crime to trigger a massive police response.
I still think a simple number search on the reported address and a quick call to them as the police were on their way would have been a good idea.

What you're arguing for is that Swat should murder innocent people due to your fictional nightmare fantasies.
Any time there's a situation just run in and shoot everyone???
You guys are completely insane. Swat has never needed to kill 1 innocent person ever for any reason. It was always a yuge Mistake!!

fficers screamed at Finch to put his hands in the air, but Livingston said the 28-year-old father of two young boys moved a hand toward his waistband. An officer, fearing Finch was reaching for a gun, fired a single shot. Finch died minutes later.
