It could be that there is no such case of someone being swatted and killed in Germany because of smaller population, or because of differences in police training. In the end, the pathway to police not having to draw their weapons is the path where unexpected threats are minimal on the side of the average citizen. Police is also a victim in case of swatting. Imho no need to be overly emotional about preventive actions focused on the weapons only if they are not possible easily, or if small number of problematic cases suggests lesser priority. I see different things to discuss first: Police blaming swatted victims. Police not allowing submission of warnings by victims beforehand.
