With prior reports, they should be aware he gets harrassed instead of endangered. The 4th time, the caller should have been swatted.
Which would be pretty dumb if something actually happened there.
If someone prank calls the police around here they get a (pretty hefty) fine. Other than that, not much will happen. Police will still show up, they will (usually) still take you seriously, they have to.

Let’s be real, it’s dumb even before someone gets killed. This is the human equivalent to a dog barking at birds/squirrels/rabbits/other dogs/the mailman that it can see through the front window of its house for the entirety of its life without reconciling that there’s no need to kick up a fuss - how in the fuck have they not yet acknowledged that there is no actual reason to deploy SWAT teams? Who the fuck are these people? There’s no threat to anyone, they know it, but continue calling it in and sending cops after it’s happened this many times?

Dude. They have to treat it as a serious call. ITS THEIR FUCKING JOB.
They can’t just go “here’s a call about an active shooter. It’s probably just a prank call”
And if they did. YOU WOULD BE RIGHT THERE IN THE COMMENTS FUCKING COMPLAINING THAT THEY DON’T TREAT ALL CALLS AS SERIOUS.
Not until they send someone fucking over there they don’t. Unless they started hiring fucking Mystic Meg.
