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.
Crazy to see you get down voted for this.
Not taking the threat seriously is exactly how Uvalde started.
“popular” sentiment is FULLY ACAB, dearm, negotiate, community activist.
Life is not black and white. Sometimes a strong response is needed. I’m real fucking thankful police exist. Despite their massive failings.
On the other hand there are many many many calls that don’t need an armed response, and a community negotiator is a better choice.
Ultimately policing in north America needs massive restructuring. Unnecessary violence and injustice are happening everyday, especially to minorities.
But the response to bomb threats is NOT the top of the list of changes.
