Overly Loud Gamer Gets a Visit From the SWAT Team

Wow. It's interesting to see the lack of a thought process when gamers get offended. Yeah, the police were called on a gamer, and he said he was just playing games, so why call in SWAT? Well, my thoughtless friends, when the police get called in for a bank robbery, if the thieves say that they're just making a deposit, but then lock the doors and start shouting at the police, do you actually expect them to go 'okay, that's good enough for me. Let's go boys!' Try to use some brain skills here.
1) The man was most likely screaming at the top of his lungs since he could be heard outside of his house, and saying things that would make sailors cringe.
2) The police obviously did not know whether or not there was any danger to a person who possibly could have been inside, because he would not let them inside.
3) They did not know if he was armed, or whether or not he had the capability or intention to kill.
So, if you put in into perspective instead of ranting about how another gamer gets bothered for no reason, you might realise that, yes, the police did indeed have a good reason to be called(psycho man screaming that could be heard from the street,) and yes there was a good reason SWAT was called(psycho man could be armed and dangerous and would not allow the police in his house.) Stop being so full of yourselves thinking that every time a gamer gets in trouble, it's for discriminatory reasons.

Remember, kids, we don't have all the facts and don't know the details... let's assume that Mr. Police Officer isn't totally barking nuts for calling in SWAT until we know why he called. There are a ton of perfectly rational reasons to call in SWAT: suspect says he's armed, suggestions that there are others in the house, or hostages, or explosives... earlier in the week a simple collection on an overdue water bill turned into a major multidepartmental operation that seized a private armoury and enough homemade explosives to blow up the trailer park.
Things are never quite as simple as they may seem from a 200-word newswire clipping.

So they felt the had room in their budget to waste calling a SWAT team for this?
Idiots. Pure. Idiots.

This does seem ludicrous in many ways, but if that guy was being overheard he really needs to lay off the caffeine and energy drinks. When people come aknockin at your door, its a sure clue you need to take a break.
Was it SCREAMING screaming? Or was he swearing alot? Cause if he was screaming screaming he might have been playing a horror game, anyone who's seen 4PP knows that you can be reduced to screaming like a little girl by Fatal Frame.
Hey, Maly, could you do me a solid and update this news story if you get the chance? I want to see if this guy gets convicted for Disorderly Conduct or something.Malygris said:
