    How the fuck can Swatting be such a common thing in America. I have never heard about it in any other country.

    (This is, of course, a rhetorical question. I know the answer is that American police is beyond incompetent.)

      Its not incompetence. Its by design. The more SWAT goes out, the more they’re justified. SWAT teams exist to increase the spending of police. Those expenditures go to military contractors.

      Its the same reason the US is ceaselessly involved in war since WW2. For money.
