They should just only accept tips on swatting-related offenses from sources that are identifiable.

I am confused as to why the police doesn’t put more work into finding the people doing this, it is a waste of resources to be called on a fake call. It also makes people loose trust in the police, and generates bad PR.

They don’t care, they got to bust down a door and shout at people, that’s all that matters to the pigs.

They’re untouchable, why would they prevent themselves from harassing innocent people?
