> don’t understand why you want to let the swatters off the hook. They should absolutely be going to jail.
Care to explain why criticizing the police should amount to "letting the swatters off the hook"? This is nothing that automatically follows unless we can't walk and chew gum at the same time.
If you jail one swatter there will be another one, and one after. If the police/dispatch gets their house in order you fix the problem on a systemic level and swatting becomes harder for all swatters.
So yeah if this should be fixed: punish swatters and avoid situations where one guy gets 47 swats without the police realizing they are played for fools each single time.
