If you live in a country where somebody can pick up the phone, say some BS, and someone gets shot in their doorway- you live in a very fucked up country that is more like Nazi Germany. I hope people wake up soon. This is not acceptable on any level or under any rationalization. I am honestly looking at getting the hell out of the United States, because there is a war going on against the people.

A relative of Andrew Finch’s told the Wichita Eagle that the victim didn’t play video games. Deputy chief Livingstone told the media that officers recieved the call to go to the 1000 block of McCormick and “got into position.” Livingstone continued, “A male came to the front door. As he came to the front door, one of our officers discharged his weapon.”

Unreal...
Firstly, whoever made this call is at the head of the line to blame. They started the first action that resulted in this mans death. They should be severely punished. 15+ years for this crap in my opinion.
Two, if police were so concerned then why didn't they use the intercom to try and get the guy out of the house? Why go right up to his house and ring doorbell and then kill him??
Terrible on all accounts.
In the same way that those most wanting to borrow money can't afford it, maybe those most wanting to be officers aren't suitable

I like this from CNN:
"One problem in prosecuting swatting cases is that many are perpetrated by juveniles as a prank or joke, and it's difficult to prove they had an intent to cause harm."
Let me rephrase that: "One problem is that some idiot can pick up a phone, say some bullshit and cops will go to a guy's house and shoot him. Man, that is screwed up."
The job of the media is to dilute this into something other than pointing out that dial-up murder in America as easy as ordering a pizza, because the USA has gone off its rocker. The institutions are run by maniacs, I hate to say. Welcome to your Giant Banana Republic.
News article and youtube interview with the idiot.
This can happen to any of us at any time. Totally innocent and bam, you're dead. No time to clean up your browsing history.
if so, you would think those guys have much more training when it comes to that?
this whole thing is a mess... really feel for the poor guy's (the one that was killed) family.
Goes to say....probably unqualified people in every position. What can you do ?

You get the police force you desire/deserve. In a democracy the people can change things and the American people, as a whole, seem happy with the status quo.
