    I wonder if that is happening, using the cops as unknowing hit-men? Probably possible, under the right circumstances. Fool proof in that the cops would literally know nothing of the conspiracy, and since they are almost never convicted, who cares if they did? It isn't as if they were going to need to flip on you to stay out of prison.

      Isn't suicide by cop bad enough?

      But yeah, SWAT-ing someone is a real thing. How hard the swat I guess is a real question in today's world.

        This is done, yes. IINM it started out as merely harassment, but then somebody figured out how useful it would be for the fuzz to show up at a competitor's workplace thinking, say, that they were human trafficking. The cops show up, see black faces, and start shooting. Market share grows.

        The cops are used as Useful Idiots for a variety of criminal enterprises. Not least of which is using their muscle and, ahem, initiative to drive an economy underground to boost profit margins. The last thing on earth the gangs want is for drugs to be legal. They aren't going to be able to compete with Pfizer.

            That's definitely happening in the case of the Starbucks, the woman in Oakland, the one who called the cops on the guy doing a home assessment for his job, etc.

              It also is rather common (relatively) in the uber-online-geek world. Hardcore gamers, or the white-hat/black-hat hacker world, etc.

                Gamers do this? Like, to win a game they swat their opponent?

                And I thought I could not be further surprised by the depths of human depravity. It's good to still have the power of wonder.

                  Yep. There have been real people killed by real life SWAT teams, because someone got mad playing Call of Duty.

                    I'm a little confused, though. Did they swat somebody out of revenge for losing, or did they swat somebody because that would immobilize his avatar long enough to complete the mission?

                    The former is just garden variety human psychosis.

                    The latter is inspirational trail blazing into new territory.

                      I've only heard of the former, but probably only because the latter is next to impossible given the length of time of an average battle online versus police response times.

                      It started out as a prank for people who streamed themselves on twitch (so the swatter could watch it happen in real time). It then morphed into the revenge thing.

                        So it's 16-year old psychos swatting each other for giggles?

                          It's not just the teenagers. It's also the adults who've never grown past their teenager brains.

                            Yeah, those folks are worrisome. But no more than the incels, I guess.

                              It is this. The ones who know how the system really works, and use it.
