SWATting

[Black Aeronaut]

I'm back to harp on my point of how the militarization of the police causes more trouble than it's worth;

The issue here isn't really militarizing the police forces... it's idiotic police chiefs trying to look good on camera and utterly failing.  Seriously, they should have investigated this more closely, as the article shows other LEOs have done so in the past.
BTW: I'm of the opinion that threatening an LEO does not warrant a SWAT Team.  More like a detective knocking on your front door with a search warrant and some burning questions to ask.
