Monde Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 (edited) So this youtuber I watch named Kootra was just apprehended by a SWAT team in the middle of a stream of CS:GO in his office. Also source: http://www.thedenverchannel.com/news/local-news/parents-warned-of-active-shooter-near-broadway-and-mineral The video is being spread like wildfire despite the police's efforts to remove them. Some jerk probably thought it'd be funny to call in a fake report... EDIT: Some dude on twitter seemed to be claiming responsibility for the prank call. @ScrewPain Various responses: My favourite Edited August 27, 2014 by Monde Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tryhard Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 yeah is a fully armed swat team really necessary to send with no evidence? a terrorist threat is serious and all but maybe a bit of caution is in order. Though some people have commented on not reading the rights - I think SWAT teams are exempt for having to do that for "serious threats"? i don't get america sometimes.

Alertcircuit Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 Did he know they were coming? He seems extremely calm. "Oh no looks like we're getting swatted." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monde Posted August 27, 2014 Author Share Posted August 27, 2014 Did he know they were coming? He seems extremely calm. "Oh no looks like we're getting swatted." Lot of people are saying that this isn't the first incident like this on twitch or other live streaming site. Before the video took place he heard them outside the office room stating they were police to others. But yeah, he was extremely calm compared to how someone would react to a something like that.

You only have to be mirandized before you are interrogated. Until that time they don't have to read your rights to you when arresting you. Did he know they were coming? He seems extremely calm. "Oh no looks like we're getting swatted." This is a growing prank. I have heard (I stress heard) that a kid was shot during one of these because the team member thought the Wiimote they were holding was a firearm. Unfortunately it's nearly impossible to catch someone that pulls these pranks unless they are outrageously stupid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have heard (I stress heard) that a kid was shot during one of these because the team member thought the Wiimote they were holding was a firearm. Maybe I should mod my wiimote to be a firearm so I have some form of defense in case a cop mistakes my wiimote for a firearm. EDIT-Wii Zapper OP.

DreadFighter Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 I guess you could say he was TERRORIZED. But in all seriousness I find that to be extremely funny. Must have token some skill to set that up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Must have token some skill to set that up.i am confused as to what you're implying. if you're implying it's fake, then you're wrong. and if you're just saying it was funny, maybe the next time you have an assault rifle pointed at you, you will disagree.

Nobody Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 (edited) WTF Seriously, WTF The idiot that set the prank up NEEDS to go to jail. That's just terrible. This is not funny. Imagine if the streamer had had a panic attack or acted instinctively while the swat was there. He'd most likely be dead by now.

Moira Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 (edited) Like I don't know about you but I might react poorly if a bunch of screaming men came in with rifles "don't you fucking move you here me boy" like is this really something that needs to be said while subduing someone Edited August 28, 2014 by Fluorspar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eclipse Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 Or a huge fine. Screw fines, I vote for jail. Swatting is a waste of both the victim's time and the SWAT team's time, and that's only the tip of the things that are wrong with it.
