Someone just calls the cops and makes up shit and the cops are just like "ok random caller. Were sending the swat team"

Thats what it seems....

Well if the person says that they have a gun they can't just send a regular beat cop to go there and knock on the door

Usually it's played up like a hostage situation (like someone manages to get to a phone and call the police to tell them their whole family is being held at gunpoint). So it forces a large response.

Ever drive past a car accident/crime scene etc. and the streets are blocked off and there's dozens of cops/fire (helicopters and EMTs optional) all over the place? Now imagine that at your house/place of business.

Oh, and the police officers won't be from Patrol Division, they're sending the ones with high powered weapons set to pop.

Ok so they bust in and its just some random dude sitting at his computer and theyre like: "POLICE!!! GET THE FUCK DOWN!!!! DO IT NOW!!!! HES REACTING IN CONFUSIION!!! FIRE!!

Ooops. Apparently the guy sitting alone at his computer was not holding a family hostage and in fact hes by himself at his own residence.

Ohio's new swatting laws are getting applied to everything now. They charged a woman here with it for falsely saying her 14-year-old son punched her.

People that do swatting need to end up in serious trouble for it, cause it endangers peoples lives and wastes alot of police time and resources. Especially when the reason they do it is because they dont like the political or social views that a complete stranger on the internet has

Swatting should be treated as attempted murder.

This brings up a good point--do they have the target's home number and pretend to be calling from it?

You can spoof your phone number to appear to be from the target's city.

That would require admitting your highly trained professionals are quite kapable of pulling the trigger on konfused harmless civilians. Good luck.
