Welcome back guys, my name is Danny Burke and todays video is the top 10 police raids
during twitch streams.
The term swatted refers to a person being interupted during their streaming session
by a team of armed police.
They turn up because somebody watching the stream thinks its funny to tell the police
that the streamer has a bomb or a hostage, things like that.
Wether or not you think its funny, its definitly a crazy thing to watch and a problem that
police are becoming very familiar with.
Coming in at number 10 we have the Bomb Threat.
This is Paul Denino but some of you might know him better as Ice Poseidon.
Hes one of the most famous IRL Streamers but also one of the most controversial, having
been banned from Twitch multiple times.
Hes been swatted a lot while in public, having to explain to police that someone is pranking
him - however, this is probably the most serious one - the bomb on a plane.
While flying from LA to Phoenix, someone called the police to say that Ice had a bomb on the
plane.
When the plane landed, it was surrounded by police on the runway.
They took him off the plane for hours and held him for questioning.
At number 9 we have ImGoreJess.
This streamer was playing Call of Duty in 2014 when she got swatted.
Here is the moment the police bust into her place (2:32 clip) … after the restrain Jess
off camera, some of the cops walk up to her PC and one of them figures out that she was
streaming the whole thing.
I don't know if he was familiar with streaming or that the police are just more aware of
it because of events like this …
Next up at number 8 we have Summit1g.
You guys might know him now for playing games like PUBG but back in summer 2016, he was
very much on the Pokemon Go craze with everyone else.
He was streaming himself playing in a park, someone figured out which park that was and
swatted him.
This was the moment the police told him to stand up, put his hands up and face away from
them.
(1:30 CLIP) … they were obviously very annoyed in the moment but seemed a little more upbeat
when interviewed for TV later on … (anything from 2nd vid)
Moving on to number 7 we have SangeTV.
This Russian streamer was playing some CS:GO for his fans when he got a visit from the
Russian Swat team.
Now, I don't speak Russian, maybe some of you guys do but to be honest - it doesnt really
matter, we can all tell how terrifying this must have been for the guy, check it out - … they
have him on the floor for over 4 minutes while a woman cries in the background.
Id love to know what they were all saying because yeah, the Russian Swat team looks
like the scariest of them all ...
Next up at number 6 we have Gross Gore.
This streamer gained his popularity from playing Runescape but in recent years hes more known
for streaming League of Legends.
Thats the game he was playing in 2015 when his stream got swatted.
He accidentally showed his address on stream one day.
He kept getting fast food deliveries showing up to his house thanks to some pranksters.
However, the next day somebody thought it would be funny to call the police saying that
Gross Gore had killed his whole family.
The police showed up and Gross Gore did his best to explain to them what had happened
… -ANYWHERE IN FIRST 5 MIN-
Next up at number 5 we have Kootra. Real name Jordan, Kootra was a streaming playing CS:GO
in 2014.
Someone called the police pretending to be Kootra himself and told them he had shot two
co workers, had hostages and was going to shoot them all.
He also told them if they came he would shoot them too.
Kootra was oblivious to all of this as he played the game.
This is the moment that the swat team arrived and everything unravelled …
Coming in at number 4 we have Calebhart42.
Hes been a popular speed runner for a few years now, streaming his attempts at breaking
world records in a number of retro games.
He was playing Mega Man X when a user by the name of lolwha called the police.
PLAY CLIP FROM START.
They ask Caleb how he knows it was this guy who swatted him, and so he show them a live
stream of the guy who is still calling the cops at this point.
The police even recognise the voice of their dispatcher on the other end.
(8:31)
At the number 3 spot now we have FragJamsey.
This streamer was playing Minecraft in 2015 when she got swatted.
In the clip youre about to see, its quite clear that she had some knowledge this was
about to happen.
Im not sure how - it could have been someone bragging in the chat about it or it could
have been a friend saying theres police with guns at the door.
Either way, she was ready for them with her hands in the air when they arrived … later
on in the clip, they do a full sweep of the apartment and then realise shes actually being
swatted.
They even use the term themself if you listen here … (3:40)
Next up at number 2 we have Trixxy. Real name Jeff, Trixxy was streaming Minecraft one day
when somebody asked him this in his chat.
(BEGINNING) That was an answer he would live to regret.
Fast forward a little bit and the police pay him a little visit.
Luckily the police were very nice to him, one of them knew exactly what had happened.
He seemed more concerned that Trixxy had disconnected.
He even knew what Twitch and Swatting were - I think the person who swatted him was pretty
disappointed with this outcome … (2:20)
And finally at number 1 we have Alex.
This kid is easily the youngest on our list so far.
His username is AlexUND FTD and he was streaming some call of duty in 2014 when he got swatted.
Heres the moment when his sister said there were cops outside the house with guns ... (1:20)
… amazingly, he comes back and apologises to his viewers (1:38) … he continues to
casually play for another minute or so but when his parents say their whole front lawn
is crawling with armed police, he finally decided to walk away from the game.
This one was crazy to me because it really does show that nobody is off limits, the people
who do this obviously think if youre young enough to stream, youre young enough to get
swatted …
Well, there we go guys, I hope you enjoyed that - let me know your thoughts on the whole
swatting thing, I know a lot of people out there think its a total waste of police time
and it can be very dangerous.
Others say its just a prank … bro.
Let me hear thoughts.
Im Danny Burke, thanks for watching and Ill see you in the next video.
