>A swatting incident—the act of calling 911 to report a fake crime so armed responders storm an address—was organized on Discord in an attempt to intimidate Herring into handing over his valuable @tennessee Twitter handle.

That the police in the US would stom an address - in full SWAT gear and attitude nonetheless - because somebody "called", is one of the most amusing examples of the incompetency and lunacy of the police system.
