What does Swatting mean?
In the online Livestream community, getting swatted is when a viewer calls the police on the streamer (after somehow figuring out where the streamer lives), saying that he (the streamer) has commited /or is about to commit/ a crime (e.g. murdered people, bomb threat) and that he is unstable mentally and very dangerous. The police has no choice but to take such calls seriously.
'A SWAT team is a group of police officers who have been specially trained to deal with very dangerous or violent situations.'
Such fake calls are very dangerous and can be fatal. In 2017, Two 'Call of Duty' players got into an argument on Twitter, which escalated and [Player A] threatened to swat [Player B], then [Player B] gave [Player A] a 'fake' address, which address actually belonged to a father of two, who tragically lost his life.
