How in 2024 do we not have the ability to find and prosecute offenders of false 911 calls like this?
We do but our cops are fascist and want Trump to win.

And that’s how COVID became the #1 cop killer for two years. But to hear my cop brother in law recount it: “COVID doesn’t exist for us.”
The right’s pandemic policy ultimately hurt them more, but given the unknown future cost of long COVID, it could be far worse for everyone than we realize.
I’m starting to wonder how many of us have long term issues, or that issues that might get worse because of prior covid infections. I’m not sure if we have ever fully recovered our sense of smell and taste.
My wife became sensitive/allergic to both dairy and soy since being infected last winter, even fully vaccinated at the time, though likely during the least effective period of our vaccines.
I feel different since those times. Not quite sure how.
My father in law, who is a retired state police officer, lost so many friends to COVID. I think at one point he had five straight weekends of funerals.

Ding Ding Ding!
I managed to quite royally piss off a paranoid county contracted bounty huntress by showing her Trump’s mugshot.
Good thing she needed me as a witness.
Why would cops investigate themselves?
If the caller has more than two braincells, they’ll user a burner phone, rented phone number etc.
These types of things are next to impossible to trace if done right
Yeah but if GOP voters were smart they wouldn’t be voting for the GOP, so should be pretty easy to trace.
Criminal minds don’t necessarily have to be smart, they have to be criminal.
Nah, they get caught all the time. There is just an endless supply of brain-dead conservative cultist to keep doing it.
Remember Cesar Sayoc?
Yep, that’s why I included the two brain cell clause, covers a good 50% of the population, perhaps even more than that
people who do that are found frequently… but if they’re not completely dumb, they would be untraceable. (basically a burner phone)
i remember one guy, who eventually got caught anyways, had a swatting service where he used some aol service that would transcribe phone calls for the blind, and contacted them over tor…
i think it should be hard for cops to track people… it should be possible to defy the gove.g. if drumpf becomes dictator, it’ll be good to have a way to escape…
Police are only obliged to protect private property. Especially large collections of private property. Not people.
That’s why it’s the role of the fbi to investigate any threats to officials
I really appreciate all the people responding with valid well thought out counter points and examples. Not simply smashing the download button because they can’t prove otherwise but still don’t like it.

Remember when conservatives said they’d lose with dignity and respect? And that the democrats would have lost their minds….
Projection. It’s always projection.
Oldest “trick” in the book. Just deny that you actually lost.
Like trump saying we’d never hear from him if he lost. Nobody with more that half a functioning brain cell thought that was true.
yet another glaring example of why i’m not willing to meet these ingrates halfway
Almost any group is capable of having extremists who are willing to do something stupid. Being stupid as a response to extremists being idiots is exactly how divisions grow.
true. but quite frankly, if someone can’t at their very core agree to the ‘golden rule’, what other option is there? a functioning society is better off being divided against people like that.
You want to be equated to the most extreme people who share your beliefs?
a belief that they should treat others the way they’d want to be treated?
this is probably a trick question so i don’t think I’d answer it correctly
Why am I not the least bit surprised? The fascist right wing want their orange jesus even if people have to die.
Their first move when Trumpy is punished somehow is routinely to threaten violence against individuals or just in general.
Thankfully I’m not in her situation, so i can’t judge her actions, but I do wonder whether it would be better not to give the perp the satisfaction of publication.
I can imagine someone jizzing their pants over this article and their little stunt.
buy guns. it’s going to get ugly.
“Guns are the problem, and the solution is more guns.”
guns aren’t the problem. conservatives are.
Liberals and demsocs say guns are the problem. Those of us who know our history, know it always ends in violence.
Don’t start the fight if you can help it, but damn well be able and ready to end it.
The state cannot have a monopoly on violence.

Your pea-shooters won’t do much against government attack against you. A drone could kill you, targeting your phone usage and you would never know it.
People with guns still need a support network. Get connected to your local mutual aide network if you can.

Doubt you’ll find something on this site: https://www.mutualaidhub.org/
Locally for me it has been getting involved in the local community: maker space (we made masks during COVID), bicycle group, and a very radical church with a community pantry. But it sounds like those things might not be available where you are, so it might instead be getting involved in a foraging group or other local activities that make sense. Sharing local knowledge outside the Internet is a good habit in case if shit goes south.

Yes! Let’s pour even more petrol on the almost out of control fire, I am sure that will put it out!

The only thing a gun will do for you during a swat raid is get you killed faster. Some guy with a pistol doesn’t stand a chance against a team of trained gunmen. They’ll see the weapon, kill you immediately, and use the fact that you were armed as justification that you were guilty.
