Just shows what kind of professionals they have running things there. Any police department with any common sense at all would have sent a couple of cruisers over to actually see if there was a threat before they go charging in like a bunch of buffoons. It's already common knowledge that there's been people calling in playing a game called "swatting" in order to get the swat teams to make fools out of themselves.

Especially if the call came in untraceable.

Back in the Pre-Swat days, 1969 when I was stationed in South Carolina we had what was called the Reactionary Squad- it was the guard shift that was on alert/standby prior to their shift on guard. One night a call from a couple Marines who were in the midst of a physical contest with a bunch of locals in a tavern. Since there was a danger of damage to government property (the Maries), the Reactionary squad (actually more than a squad- more like a platoon 25-30) was called-out. We ran by the armorer, grabbed an M1 and a cartridge bandolier and got in the Step-Van- raced about 5 miles to the tavern. By the time we got there the management had moved the contestants out of the tavern and into the parking lot- where we pulled in, jumped out of the van and surrounded the group. When the local contestants realized that they were surrounded by associates of the two Marines and the associates all had locked and loaded M1s they quickly conceded the contest. We all got in the van and headed back to the base. As we were getting up to speed from the parking lot a local sheriff's deputy met and passed us on the way into the parking lot. the deputy didn't turn to stop us and by the time he would have talked to the locals, we were back inside the base gate. the event never appeared in the newspaper- they were too busy covering the race riots in Charleston I guess. SWAT the tv show didn't appear until a few years later- maybe they got the idea from the Goose Creek Tavern.
