Well, you know, SWAT teams need practice too. Plus, they have to justify their existence by knocking down screen doors. Presumably the family didn’t have a pet dog since none were reported killed.
Sarc
Now that we have thousands of examples of false IP address associations, via “SWATing” political opponents, isn’t it time LEOs update their execution criteria?
File a lawsuite, walk into court and demonstrate that there is ample evidence to cite that IP address associations ARE UNRELIABLE!!!!!
I am really getting sick of the lefts depraved humor and intimidation tactics.
This has got to be satire! Not even the SWAT thugs are this bold.
“I think it was a show of force that they are not going to tolerate this,”
gee almost like a police state

Jack booted thugs
And these scum wonder why they get death threats.
That is, unless, you have a static IP, like I do.
In that case, it’s likely that these people had a wide open wireless Internet connection, used simple WEP encryption on their wireless router, or simply didn’t change the defaults, like so many retail-level, non-technical people fail to do.
Using programs such as KeePass (search KeePass on SourceForge.net) to generate complex random passwords or entering some numbers and symbols into your standard passwords makes cracking your wireless network that much harder.
If you don’t know how to secure your wireless network, either abstain from having one or hire someone to do it for you.
I imagine you just might get a visit from these thugs.
While my connection is secure, I have a lot of trouble with blaming those that don’t. If the police receive a threat through the mail with a return address on the envelope, are they then allowed to storm the house bearing that address???
Welcome to the New America, where we are all presumed guilty until proved innocent!
Yep. Wander into any subdivision.....and how many 192.168.0.100’s or 192.168.1.104’s you think you’d find?
Dozens.
I have to agree. These local armies are an unconstitutional threat and it's time to end them for good. They are far more dangerous than ANY criminal element out there.
SWAT teams and everything associated with them must be outlawed.
Revolver, Radio, badge and brain. Can't do the job with those tools, find another line of work.
That’s the IP range of the router, not the IP of the service the router is connected to.
As the great Eazy E said.
“With out a gun and a badge what do you got,
a sucker in a uniform waiting to get shot”!
How do people stay so calm. I would be throwing down on the fools after the dust settled. I mean my temper would get me beat.
Or even scarier - so many people with 127.0.0.1 it’s almost like people don’t care any more.
If it’s unsecured, I can latch onto it.....and know everything I’d want to know. Way too easy. I obviously skipped the “pick an open SSID” step out of my reply above.
The bigger point is that very, very few have unique static IP’s.
