Frankly, saying that it's unbelievable is no longer workable, it's been going on for far too long overall, and in this case for there to have been close to a dozen incidents without some recognition of the situation is unacceptable. It's going to continue until someone is killed, then a working group will be formed to draft a list of recommendations, which will ultimately be ignored. How are they not ashamed to be so shit at their own job, apparently unable to reconcile the very obvious scenario playing out in realtime; this could have been resolved in 10 minutes without deployment of SWAT, if he's broadcasting his gameplay live, worldwide over the web, the cops could literally pull up his stream and call him. This isn't some random unknown person, with a 911 call coming in about noise/domestic abuse/firearm discharge/someone screaming for help because they're getting murdered, they could literally see for themselves via an adult version of a nanny cam...
"We're fucking halfwits, unable to resolve this situation by the normal, common sense means which anyone but Police would use. Embarrassing us with news coverage of our incompetence won't work either, you'll have to take us to court, win, obtain a settlement which will be paid by taxpayers instead of us, and we'll do it again anyways. Just try to stop us, we dare you, suing us just makes us mad because we're abusive, stupid little babies who can kick in your door, raid you with submachineguns and get away with it." -cops
