Is Your Belligerent RW Neighbor a "Swatting Prankster"? You'd better hope not.
Homeowner Killed In No-Knock Drug Raid. No Drugs Found. Shot in the head and back.

David Hooks was shot in the back and head as he was lying face down on the floor during a drug raid by Laurens County deputies. That's according to the lawyer representing his family.
It's been nearly four months since David Hooks was shot to death during a drug raid at his East Dublin home.
As it turns out,
David Hooks was apparently face-down on the ground when he was murdered by the police, who were conducting what is known as a "no-knock raid". This is when the police are allowed to enter a person's home without the homeowner or primary occupant's permission.

All it takes is a combination of an over-eager police unit + a bogus tip. This is doubly so when you have the ever increasingly popular Swatting pranks occurring with ever increasing frequency.
