Having the SWAT team dispatched to something harmless is amusing and gives them more training.
Thankfully, the SWAT team didn't shoot anyone.
A SWAT team shouldn't be sent to a harmless situation. And I'm kinda curious what kind of training you think they got from responding to a harmless situation because I'm pretty sure they train the SWAT team to bust down doors and apprehend people before they get sent into the field.
Who else would have called the SWAT team? I doubt there was some innocent by-stander who took matters into their own hands. No, I don't know her personally. By the same logic though, you don't know that she isn't one. I'm just drawing my conclusion based off what I saw in the video.AndyFromMonday said:How do you know it was she who called the swat team?

There is, in fact, no reason why she did that. She could have stopped talking back to him. She could have left. She could have just laughed at him. All of which could have ended the situation, being new or stupid or even a combination of those. It's obvious she didn't like what he was saying, so I'm curious as to why she didn't try to avoid the situation or try to make it better.
As for an excuse, some people are just assholes.
And what if some people are assholes? Does that excuse their behavior?

Obviously they responded in a fashion where they didn't shoot the innocent people.
Now they know for sure they can tell the difference between people just as well as paper cutouts. You also have to factor in how they recon the premises first as well as how they approach. Doing more of it, especially in what you think is a real situation, is much better training than just doing the regular stuff. And SWAT =/= military, so I doubt they get much field/training time as they should.
It should be fairly obvious that she isn't the first one to get pranked. Again, you're just making assumption. There is no evidence pointing that she called the Swat team. In fact, we don't even know if the caller is male or female yet.InsaneAlbino said:Who else would have called the SWAT team?

Yes it does. It's a reminder that you don't know whether or not she called the SWAT team. You're ignoring every other person who got pranked and assumed that she was the only possibility. She's not. He pranked way more people and you have to consider them to before making that assumption.InsaneAlbino said:Using Russells Teapot gets you nowhere in an argumentAndyFromMonday said:It should be fairly obvious that she isn't the first one to get pranked.

Oh, so SWAT teams wouldn't use cardboard and paper cutouts on ranges or in killhouses like the military does?InsaneAlbino said:Your attempt to convince me of your education did not work, so I will keep my previous opinion of you.firedfns13 said:Any political structure will have corruption.

...SWAT teams don't train using paper cut-outs... It's kind of their job to get trained to respond to situations, so I'm pretty sure they do in fact get tons of training.
