    Just here to point out that it’s not normal for a military response to some rando calling in a hit on someone’s house.

    A normal response is a check by a single police car with two officers. One to knock on the door and ask questions. The other to remain with the vehicle to call in any issues.

    This is a police state.

      They probably reported to the operator an excess of melanin at the residence.

      It really depends on what the call in was.

      If someone says there’s an active threat and their life is in danger, sending 1 car would would be gross negligence and a danger to the officers.

      Now, this call, seems excessive. I dont know what would warrant that response even if it was an active threat.

        Yeah, you send one car first and have the other ready. It’s insane to send 20 cars instantly for an unverified anonymous tip. Idc if the caller said there’s an army of cannibals killing dozens of people, it’s still an unverified anonymous tip. If it’s real you’ll get more phone calls or the first car will radio it in.
