>Obviously, this was not the case, and nobody was harmed during the SWATing.

Except if you had a dog, in which case it would (routinely) be shot to death.

Also imaging the unsuspecting guy inside the house, say, cleaning his gun or something, or even playing Nerf gun with his child and seen through the window.



That seems like a bad quote to base your point on, as he wasn't claiming that nobody would ever be harmed in a similar scenario, just that nobody was harmed in this one.


Hence the "Except if" with which I started my comment.

I wanted to make the point that even if this one was a peaceful case of SWATing, an awful lot of them are not.
