The problem is not these prank phone calls. The problem is over the top use of military style SWAT teams on citizens. The fraudsters are just exploiting an obvious and dangerously lethal out of control Police tactic.

Let's be honest. SWAT teams have become nothing but a dangerous menace of society. Use of SWAT teams, military style uniforms, military weapons, and military tactics need to be outlawed.

Only the FBI needs such a unit and even then deployment should be strictly limited.

We had better get a handle on the police. They are far more dangerous today than any criminal element.

The simple solution is to get back to the old methods of being a public peace officer with a revolver, a radio, and a brain, and put an end to "Military Police".

Right on.

Amen! It’s apparent a lot of cops are trigger happy. If they can’t shoot a person they’ll shoot the dog.

I also thought the dispatcher could look up the phone number of the address then call to see who answers.
