it's not like they call the cops and tell them they are sitting on their computers, streaming, go mess with them.

they call in serious shite, enough, so the swat gets involved

that one tard, whiteboy7street got swatted and he was growing his own weed, got busted hard. Him and his chubby g-friend.

What an absolutely retarded idea for a prank. They are going to get somebody killed with that crap.

Police need to stop breaking into people's homes with rifles pointed in everyone's face.


to be fair this guy rents space in a corporate office building and streams from his office. I had no idea being a popular streamer could pay so well.

But the police had a lot of office workers in the area to consider.

a group based in Littleton Colorado that publishes videos to YouTube and Twitch, and since the broadcast was in progress during the raid, their entire arrest ended up on the livestream.


and given littleton and that areas history and active shooter call is going to garner a big response. They evacuated other office building and a school in the area.

The bigger question is, who watches other people play a video game?

Wouldn't it be more fun to actually play the video game yourself?

generally your most popular streamers are really good players. So playing yourself would be like playing pick up games at the Y. Watching a streamer would be like watching an NBA game.

Why did the cop turn the camera off towards the end and why was the cop wanting to do something on the guy's computer?

Is it really that easy to convince local governments to do military style raids on people's private property, detain people at gunpoint, etc?

Wouldn't it be more fun to play baseball, football, soccer, tennis, hockey, basketball, etc yourself instead of watching it on tv? It's really not all that different TBH.

All those require 2 teams, a venue, etc.
physical sports aren't on the same level
