I came across a YouTube short of a monkey being “saved” and opened the account. There are many more videos like it, and it looks like one of those fake rescue channels where the animal is harmed before the video starts

If you go into the comments on the recent shorts you can see people talking about the problem.

The only reporting options I had were harassment and bullying, privacy, impersonation, violent threat, child endangerment, hate speech against protected group, spam and scams.

This channel should be shut down. Given that these channels are an ongoing problem, shouldn’t it be easier to report them? Is there a different place I should be looking?

      Encouraging such a dangerous action is irresponsible. Innocent people have died because law enforcement went to the wrong address. Please, do not SWAT people, or encourage it.

        This is 100% a police problem. Over here, if you send police at my door, we are going to have a chat. It might be unpleasant, but the odds of weapons being drawn is very small.

        You can’t blame 4chan for the fact that you have a militarized police force staffed by traumatized COIN veterans using military tactics to respond to unsubstantiated anonymous calls.

            SWAT is an American special police force, so the discussion would naturally involve America.

            The French equivalent would probably be sending in GIGN with a false call. The German equivalent would be GSG9. Australia would be I think SPS. UK has PSU. You get the idea.

            Regardless, “SWATing” is massively overkill and far more dangerous to innocent people than just calling regular law enforcement to report potential animal abuse. Not to mention that it is also illegal.

              Our equivalent is DSI, the special intervention service. We don’t dispatch DSI based on anonymous calls. “DSI’ing someone“ is therefore not a thing. But “SWATting” is. There’s a Dutch equivalent of SWAT but not of SWATting because in our society you don’t send out a heavily armed team of professional killers to prank calls.

              This is not a “SWAT is an American special police force, so the discussion would naturally involve America” kind of discussion.

              It’s a “only in the US the state tries to kill everyone in your house because of anonymous fake telephone calls” kind of conversation.

        I disagree. We should be SWATting each other left and right until enough toddlers get flash banged that we are forced to rethink the entire concept. Apparently two toddlers isn’t enough, gotta pump those numbers UP!
