@TomScorza @PeteNorth303 Ah yeah, that'll be the lesser known sibling of the banana shape directive. All stones must be triangular and pointy. The downside is they're sharper, but it improves consistency so you can tell if it's a stone or a rock.

@George_Barrett @HallyuWebsite @briankrebs FAOD I'm not absolving old bill of blame here. They need to reduce and control the level and frequency of the violence they dispense (seemingly all too willingly). But, the root cause of this death is an idiot swatting, despite everyone knowing the police are all too violent

@George_Barrett @HallyuWebsite @briankrebs Partly cos I ran out of characters :) but, the simple fact is that the cop would never have been in that position were it not 4 the swatter. Police need training for these cases, but its a high pressure situation too. Best way to avoid it is not to swat ppl

@Mailia @briankrebs They've not said much yet abt why they fired, and Police training def comes into it, but if you're at home and someone kicks the door in (as in other cases), what u do in that split second could cost you everything. Usually an active shooter report so theyll assume you're armed

@HallyuWebsite @briankrebs He gave the wrong address and put a random stranger (assume a stranger anyway) directly in harms way. Should have stopped typing rather than giving a false address. The swatter still takes most of the blame, but the intended victim still shares some of it.

@briankrebs Sadly a SWATting was always going to end this way sooner or later. What a fucking stupid and pointless waste of life. It's weilding SWAT teams as an unwitting weapon, so yeah, (attempted) murder in my book
