A teenager “serial swatter” from California is believed to be responsible for hundreds of swatting incidents and bomb threats throughout the US according to a pretrial detention motion. Now he has been extradited to Florida to face charges for a swatting incident at a mosque, according to the Seminole County State Attorney’s Office.
You think it’s acceptable for innocent people being threatened by a bomb to be harmed by the police who respond because they need to “dominate” the situation? What even is the point of the police when they hurt the people they’re sent to protect?
In this hypothetical, they are there to find a bomb, and bomber. Collateral damage is to be minimized, obviously. Proper training is what’s needed for that, which many police forces across the world lack.
A negotiator is not what you send to defuse a bomb or disable a terrorist.
This would happen in most western countries.
You telling me they don’t respond with force to threats of terrorist attacks or bombs?
They shouldn’t respond with deadly force to the presumed victims of the attack!
They are responding to the scene of a bomb.
That’s not something you discuss, that’s something you dominate until the scene is safe.

I’m not sure I’ve ever even seen a member of our “SWAT” teams.
