Swatting is the act of making false, high-priority emergency calls to lure a large law enforcement response to a victim's location for harassment, intimidation, or retaliation. These dangerous hoax calls can create trauma for the victim and divert critical public safety resources from actual emergencies, sometimes with deadly consequences. Targets can include public figures, schools, or private homes, with perpetrators often using technology to conceal their identity and make the false reports more convincing.

Odd but who would buy and install tons of equipment to do this? I am thinking no one. We get false flags endlessly.
