There was a rash of these things a few years ago that abated. It seems to be coming back like a resurrected fad. If it gets bad enough then the citizens will start feeling that if the cops comes to the door you might as take one with you because you are going to get killed.
The originator of this post appears to believe that the actions of the ‘swatter’ and that of the police are separate with the ‘swatter’ responsible for the ENTIRE outcome. This is akin to a ‘medical poser’ giving false information to a surgeon who then based on that info UNNECESSARILY operates on a patient resulting in that patients death. Both surgeon AND police have failed to exercise their sworn DUE DILIGENCE in ascertaining the truth. In my world of medicine and corrections/law enforcement both physician and officers are at GREATER liability than the ‘posers’ due to their SWORN DUTY to base their actions on TRUTH.
