      A swat team is a specially trained unit.

      An uparmored tactical larp response.from.many officers is not that.

      Your comment doesn’t really answer my question. Do they actually send a SWAT team?

      I don’t really care about how they are armed. Is it called swatting because a SWAT team is deployed, or is it because that happened once or sometimes but it’s not always the case?

          What point? I’m honestly trying to find out if it’s only considered swatting if an actual SWAT team is deployed or if that’s become the generic term.

          There’s a term for this, called genericide. Like how Kleenex is used for all facial tissues or Qtips is used for all cotton swabs.

          If all you want to do is find reasons to get offended and be combatant take your bullshit somewhere else.

          I’m so sick of people like you on Lenny eroding actual conversation so you can mud sling and interpret everything in the worst possible light.

          Sometimes a question is just a fucking question jackass!

          Blocked for being the waste of space you are.
