Garcia admitted he used an online phone service to call in fake emergencies to agencies in the United States and Canada while live streaming the calls on Discord in 2022.
You know what you should never do? Broadcast your crimes. But I’m also very glad that stupid criminals facilitate their own downfall. That’s pretty great.
Looks like a kid, but fuck swatting
Swatting should be treated as attempted murder. If a person dies in the altercation, then premeditated murder.
Swatting should be considered a failure of law enforcement.
If a police department gets tricked into Swatting an innocent party due to a fraudulent call to 911, the entire department should be disbanded and replaced with officers who do due diligence before busting people’s doors down. If anyone dies, the officer who signed off on the raid gets charged with murder.

But what if it’s actually serious?
I believe US law punishes the person committing a crime if the police kills someone intervening to said crime.
“The caller laughed and taunted officers, stating that he was hiding under multiple VPNs (virtual private networks),”
I’ll bet a $50 he either had exactly 1, or even none at all.
“Like pouring salt in the wound, you left a voicemail for our chief of police directing him to an online post where you gloated about the event. You wasted countless hours when our patrol officers could have responded to emergencies. I traveled 2400 miles to tell you this in person. I told you that you would be held accountable,” Grispino said during the hearing.
