The problem isn’t the ones doing the “prank,” but the SWATZIs who are all too ready to show up armed to the teeth to lay the hammer down, smash down doors unannounced, kill dogs, break teeth and bones then say “oops,” over and over.
Met with appropriate resistance (already supported by several state supreme court cases this past year), they just MIGHT tone it down a bit.
“To Protect and SERVE,” not enslave.
It would seems that they are all to eager to smash first and ask questions later - after people and dogs have been killed and property damaged.
I would like to see them inflict some punishment in kind for those folks - if it’s determined they were negligent, they should have to suffer a similar type raid conducted at random by a different swat team.
They may have a different attitude if they have suffer what their victims had to go through.
They get hazardous duty pay, and generous comp time off after a SWAT raid. That’s why they’re so eager to suit up for a raid based on the flimsiest of reasons.
