Well for one even if the swatter had told the one hundred percent truth the police would have been damn negligent. Imagine a hostage taker instructing one to head out and leave as a diversion or just to open the door while he is in cover with a rifle readied so he can take potshots at them or something. Then the police would have shot the hostage for no reason without even a crossfire as an excuse.

Also the fact they are so trigger happy that they can be used as a free dial-a-hitman is in itself a huge problem. Sure the callers are dirtbags but the fact they are so readily exploitable is on them.
