Twitch streamer Diegosaurs was playing Valorant on stream when he was the unfortunate victim of a swatting. Swatting is when the police or a SWAT team are called out to an individual's home with a fake claim of violence, terrorism, or domestic abuse.The cops were friendly and polite to the streamer, suggesting maybe he do worse in his games, so opponents won’t try and swat him.“Can you just be terrible at the game so we don’t get sent out here?”DIEGO@diegosaursat least the cops were nice11:43 AM · Mar 31, 20223128185at least the cops were nice https://t.co/Zo76dBRL7XTwitch streamer Diegosaurs gets swattedDiegosaurs isn’t usually a Valorant streamer, preferring games like Apex Legends, but he wanted to get some practice in and improve. His matches weren’t going especially well, but two police officers entered the streamer’s room before one of the matches began.(Clip begins at 5:02:47)The police asked about someone being shot in the house but could clearly see that was not the case.“Oh, no. I’m livestreaming. Yeah, uh, yeah.”The cops joked that someone he beat called the cops on him, and another officer laughed, saying he should quit beating people in his matches. Swatting can be an incredibly tense moment, where doors are knocked down, and guns are brandished.“I guess we got swatted! That’s unlucky!”Instead, the police quickly realized there was no danger. The police appeared on camera, wanting to see what was going on in the stream. Diegosaurs apologized, but the police joked about it.“Nah, dude, somebody you beat called the cops on you!”The Twitch streamer insisted he’d been doing poorly in his matches and apologized again. Before departing, in a funny moment, they talked about one of their colleagues who streams, saying that Diegosaurs should “kick his a**” if he sees him in a game.Social media shows concern and empathy for Twitch streamerSwatting still happens to Twitch streamers, but it is assuredly an illegal activity. Several people on Twitter showed support for Diegosaurs after he posted the clip, citing that at least the cops were nice.Kris🌙@KristenRaeTTV@diegosaurs Reminder to contact your local PD if you’re a steamer I guess?

Ok but lowkey I'd use that as a flex for the rest of my life...

Fun rivalry with a partner and now has backup!But on a serious note, swatting is not funny nor is legal as it constitutes as a false report.
