    If someone starting swatting the extended family of local police chiefs across the country I’d be willing to bet that even the police unions would be calling for an end to these types of raids, regardless of how they were handled.

      What do estimate the percentage of these calls are some internet loser swatting someone rather than it being a legitimate report of domestic violence? You may be underestimating the number of actual domestic violence situations where the police need to intervene be a few orders of magnitude.
