"Swatting" Leads to Police Killing Unarmed Man | Tyler Barriss Case Analysis 

The Wichita Police department is another realm also and should be held responsible also (police chief along with City of Wichita have to defend Justin Rapp because he's a police officer and a city employee). Tyler Barriss, Casey Viner, and Shane Gaskill need to pay full restitution for this prank.

Yeah, but let's point 👉 at least 2 fingers at the fools who set this all in motion. 2 low life gamers who hide behind monitors and cell phones hurting innocent people.

My advice… 🪁 Never be without a recording when confronted with anybody of any kind of authority. History has explained this so many times, protect yourself and protect your family. I have no reason to make anything up, I will tell you if I didn’t have a recording of some of their antics, I wouldn’t have 1 acre left of my property. And if you don’t want anything to do with the police, it’s a good idea to just do the right thing every day. Unless of course you don’t..😎

@@itsjustnopinionok Which should be impossible if police were not such predictably untrained, mindless goons.

The police are not at liberty to speak freely, apologize, etc. Because people are always trying to sue them, even when they do nothing wrong.

Whenever the person really is shooting back the cops duck and hide.

I think these are both examples of police being too fearful to competently do their jobs. When someone doesn't have a weapon, police will shoot to prevent even the remote possibility they might get one. When someone does have a weapon, police will run and hide rather than engage.

Seems like they need a video game with various scenarios to work through. Swatters should work on making that if they want to make games real it should be for helping train cops.

@@marcspark4393 so would everyone else only a idiot would stand still while getting shoot at

Because they are cowards. They are only tough when the person is unarmed, mentally ill, elderly/frail, etc. like when they tackled and dislocated the shoulder of an elderly woman with dementia who almost shoplifted from Walmart. When the cops show up she’s walking and they yell at her, she’s smiling and keeps walking. Obviously not a threat but they were literally laughing and showing other cops the video of the assault of this 90 lb woman saying “Wait for it… POP!!”. Then laughed. She sat with no medical care for 18+ hours. They then tried hiding the video and saying she got hurt by another inmate. Or the mentally ill teen who had the cops called on him for “yelling “ as he walked down “her street “. Tased 70+ times in under ten mins then when paramedics came they said they didn’t know what happened. Must have been drugs. 👌🙄

I cant understand how a video game could get someone so mad to do something like this

affecting

Yeah The police are just as much at fault though... Probably more at fault in my opinion because they're the ones who have the responsibility to handle this properly, even if the person calling knows what they're doing

@@Johnny-tq9no yes, i am amazed they didn't put 500 bullets into him. i mean they can as well take the chance to let loose once it starts.

@@charlesgerety1403 childishness. As a general rule, these boys have no father, and if they do, he's been psychologically emasculated. So there is no man teaching boundaries. When there's no man teaching boundaries, there are no boundaries. So I lost a video game, and my share of a dollar fifty, and I throw a tantrum. Some uninvolved party gets killed, but because I've never been taught personal responsibility, it's not my fault.

I saw that. THAT was an execution… I still don’t know the context but seeing the body am alone was chilling

That was an execution

" Daniel Shaver at Mesa hotel (2016) case" ? Yes, It've been one of the most controversial, disgusting and unjust cases of killing an unarmed / innocent man. The cop and his supervisor should have gone to jail for the murder. Cops should be accuntable for their action !!!

That story gets worse. The killer cop managed to secretly get rehired for 42 days, applied and was granted accidental disability, and was given unanimous approval for medical retirement so that he gained access to pension benefits.

@@BruceLeedar As you already know, the cop's name is Phillip Brailsford, 26 years old when he killed Daniel Shaver. Coincidently, Shaver was also 26 years old and left his wife and two young daughters. Brailsford managed to recieve about $2,500 per month due to PTSD. Shaver's wife and his daughters should have gotten the money plus more, in my opinion. The case is just as disgusting and preposterous as murder of George Floyd. It should have gotten much more media coverage and follow up to be known world wide.

Add into those cops in training to NEVER allow themselves to become a swatters weapon.

Some people like they way law enforcement operate. People of color have always been distrustful of the man.

@@ChicanoOne760 I will completely agree with you in that.

Most of America worships the ground police walk on.

How about police don’t act like such rabid animals that a random fake call is a death sentence?

@@Matt-xc6sp how the fuck are the police supposed to know fake from real calls unless they get there?

@@sylviamaresca8852 By not immediately running in and shooting anything that moves? They managed to show plenty restraint while children screamed and died in Texas. Get rekt bootlicker. Not even the republicans are on law enforcement’s side anymore.

@@Matt-xc6sp Most of the time when it happens they're on a power trip and know full well they won't have any consequences whatsoever. If I need assistance, they're the last one I will call. They usually are useless and more dangerous than anyone else. They should stay on the road arrassing people that go 10km/h over the limit or have a burnt flasher instead of shooting innocent people.

Indeed. I guess they are fully aware that they won't have any consequences. Unless the media does a show about it. But if the guy they shoot is white it won't happen because people don't care about it.

Who hides behind sovereign immunity to never be a defendant in a class action lawsuit or have criminal charges brought against him, for doing things like ignoring rioting in Liberal cities.

@@frankpaya690 ?

Cops shouldn't get treated any better than a regular member of the public but time after time they do resulting in those thugs getting away with murder and enjoying the protection of prosecutors. The system needs a huge overhaul with the human rights of citizens being central to the discussion.

He was denied Qualified Immunity, but the City of Wichita was removed out of the lawsuit. I can say a lot about Justin Rapp which is a topic itself but Tyler Barriss is a very sick man. The estate of Andrew Finch can sue Barriss, but he doesn't have assets. He's responsible for $5000 in restitution, but that's not enough. City of Wichita is the only party with the money because assuming a no settlement happens and City of Wichita wouldn't pay Rapp's legal expenses, the family isn't going to get a lot if Rapp files bankruptcy.

@@jordanking6939 Good point he won't have the money to pay if he loses.

Ehhh, he was pretty judgmental and passive aggressive when describing major league gaming. "people get paid to play video game, yes it's actually a thing it's like being a professional athlete without having to worry about the health benefits of being in good condition" and other jabs. He's human just like you are me.

Ignore the troll.

@@mikedrop4421 It's just dry humor, like I joke about vegans but I honestly couldn't care less about people's dietary practices.

@@kwaaaa hey I get it I'm just telling the OP to remember he's judgmental too so don't beat themselves up.

@@mikedrop4421 That's a dry humour joke.

The niece who took her own life, her boyfriend followed suit after losing her. The body count is 3

Agree!!

@@susien7323 Wow. That's insane. That cop should be jailed but he have a ptsd allowance instead. Justice is corrupt in the US.

Thanks for mentioning it. I've never heard of him at all.

on netflix? What is the show called?

@@Plant_Parenthood”Web of Make Believe”

@@nacho_business thank you! I will check it out tonight

TheQuartering got swatted twice last month.

@@MadeByChinkee I am not sure who that is. That is horrible! What do those people do about it! It’s to the point where the bullies are infringing on our rights as viewers! The creator I am talking about move to Twitch and they follow her there just to falsely report her and her supporters while they chat!

Great comment, I agree with everything you said, and also laughed at the same part- while still being horrified at the overall tragedy, like you. I love Dr. Grande's style in his videos! And you're so completely right about both the officer and about how Tyler deserved an even much longer sentence, especially since he'd already been locked up a couple times for doing the same exact thing. Clearly not a man who learns any kind of lesson. Anyway, just wanted to give a shout out and say thanks for this great insightful comment! ✌️💖

@ Shay B- wow- thirsty much? Lol- settle down there, honey 🤩

@@brandycarter9829 Actually, I just had the same exact thoughts as the original commenter here, and as I was strolling through the comments, I replied or commented on a number of people's comments, and this was one of them just near the top that caught my eye this time. I was SO confused what you were ever saying or meaning by this at first, then I just felt insulted and embarrassed once I figured out what you meant. It's so opposite of what I had in my brain when I left the comment that it truly took me a couple minutes to even understand what you were meaning or talking about. Dr. Grande is the only RU-vid channel I ever really watch or comment on, and there are several people who we've all been commenting for a while and will just say hey or say what we appreciate about each other's comments sometimes. Just to be clear, those "regulars" I often look through the comments to see their thoughts and then comment or reply are all women. And my comments to THEM are even more complimentary or kind (or in YOUR mind thirsty and slutty I guess). If a comment stands out or is funny or says things that make me think or that I strongly agree with, often I will say so. I never even pay attention to WHO made the comment. And I end EVERY comment or response to 98% of EVERYONE, regardless of Gender, Age, etc. With the emojis ✌️💖 (Peace and Love). I end a lot of my texts to my friends and family this way also- it's just a positive vibe/message I like to put out in the world. I guess I'm just naive, but I don't understand how me just saying a few kind words to someone about the comment they left, or how I agree, is being so "WOW, Thirsty much?? Calm down!" Etc. If I leave a comment and ANYONE responds with some kind words, it makes me happy and feel good, just human to human, so I do the same. I didn't even remember anything about this comment or poster except what my thoughts were about the comment, which I put above. So you're implying I'm trying to like hit on this guy, be creepy, over the top, get his attention in a (ahem) certain way I guess. Maybe I'm overly complimentary or positive or kind to people in general and online, bc I think there is a lot of negativity out there, esp online sometimes, and I'd like to send a very different feeling or vibe, just who and how I am, and I'm sorry you're so bothered by that. I'm just a naturally kind/friendly and positive person when interacting with other people. It doesn't even make any sense why I would do something like you're saying HERE anyway, on a RU-vid thread- you can't even DM anyone or have any way to have any private conversation or anything like that, so there would be no point at all and nowhere for that to even go, makes no sense. I wouldn't do that anywhere online, but if that was my aim, this would be the worst possible platform for being "thirsty" or trying to weirdly hit on someone. How is it ME being "thirsty" to compliment someone ELSE'S opinion anyway? I wasn't asking what anyone thought of me or trying to say anything about myself at all, wasn't looking for or expecting any kind of reply back of any kind, just thought I was doing what people DO in these comment threads, being a decent person and sharing my opinion on a comment I appreciated. I'm a Mom and I work from home, so maybe I don't get out enough lately and the things I'm saying are somehow coming across as inappropriate or sleazy or whatever you're thinking or accusing me of here, but I don't see how just a nice friendly comment pointing out that I liked and agreed with someone's comment and then ending it the way I end EVERY comment or reply to anyone could be considered being so thirsty and inappropriate. I didn't say one word about his looks or be flirty or inappropriate in ANY way, not that I can see anyway. I really do have a thing about respecting other people's boundaries and I NEVER want to make ANYONE uncomfortable, so I'll apologize to him if I'm missing something and he found my comment inappropriate or thirty or stalker-y or all the mean things you pointed out. Maybe it's just sad you can't just see kindness and positivity towards another human as JUST THAT, bc that's all I was trying to do. Go back and read my comments to many other people on here that are similar if there's a way to do that, you'll see that's just how I treat people, most of them are female. If it's a woman SOMETIMES I even say "Great comment LOVE! Really loved your smart take on this" or if someone says something nice in reply to my comment, I'll say something like "Aw thanks sweets! That really made my day! ✌️💖". What a thirty sleazy hussy I am to use such language to people I guess! But hey, thanks for putting me down and embarrassing me just for being myself and for sharing a few kind words and appreciation for a comment I just happened to like and agree with. I also said how much I liked Dr. Grande and his style in my comment there, guess that means I'm thirsty and after Dr. G also, you should probably go warn him! Maybe it would do you some good to be a little more kind or positive (or in YOUR words, "Thirsty" or desperate or whatever), instead of doing the opposite like you do, which is judging people, shaming them, putting them down, and embarrassing them, when you don't know one thing about the person or their actual intentions. It's best to just assume the worst and call them mean names and insinuate cruel or hurtful things about their character, right? If I have the choice between our two "methods", I would rather be "Thirsty" and creepy and needing to "calm myself down" every day of the week than to make crude assumptions and shame people and put them down. CLEARLY you never grew out of your High School Drama "Mean Girl" phase, but I'm not about ANY of that crap. Just something to think about. Hope you have a fantastic day Brandy. ✌️💖

Mathew, I would just like to real quick sincerely apologize if you felt I was being "thirsty" or inappropriate or needed to calm down etc., or if I came across as ANYTHING like that with my comment to you about liking your comment. I just liked and appreciated your comment, and I'm just a friendly and positive person, to anyone I interact with. Apparently it might have come off as creepy or thirsty or inappropriate in some way and I just didn't realize it. If that was the case AT ALL, or if I made you uncomfortable in any kind of way, please accept my apology. I end every comment or reply I write with the emojis ✌️💖 (Peace and Love), end a lot of my texts like that also. It's just a good positive vibe or message I like to put out into the world I guess. Anyway, I feel embarrassed, and I was only trying to compliment your comment here, bc it was near the top and caught my eye, and I had literally just been thinking all the same things you expressed in your comment. I commented on several other people's comments in similar ways, didn't even really look at who was making them. I was told I needed to stop being thirsty and that I needed to "settle down" though, by a woman who read what I wrote, so I thought there must've been something I missed that came across as creepy or weird or inappropriate, maybe?⁰- I really hope you didn't get that same vibe, as the other person who commented, and I hope I explained myself ok. This may seem like a weird comment/message (it does to me too!) but I truly have a thing about respecting boundaries and never wanting to make anyone feel uncomfortable, so felt I should just say that and explain that's just my personality towards everyone I Interact with, annoying as it may be or apparently is. Lol Anyway, hope you have a wonderful day, and I still stand by my original comment, and just really liked and agreed with yours, and that's all. ✌️💖🙂

Yeah they did a bang-up job with BTK, how many decades was he free again?

It is all the swatter's fault.

I think in he social media realm, when officers are involved in major high profile cases, they're not going to be in threat agency for an longer based on the circumstances.

I've been swatted before due to my ex husbands stupidity ( and my stupidity for marrying him ) I was in bed when 7 of the Sacramento Swat team charged into my room screaming "hands up"!!!!. I sat up and lost my balance and it looked like I was reaching for a gun under the bed. They almost shot me dead at that moment I was told I was lucky to be alive That being said I would NOT have blamed them for shooting me. LEOs cannot let their gaurd down for an instant and this was NOT the officers fault. Nor was it in this case. I wish that kid had kept his hands up. 😥 Dr. Grande should go on a ride along or do a scenario training before making such judgments. I like him and love his dry humor but he shouldn't speak of things he knows nothing about.

@@PB_324 People who are unfamiliar with LE often make harsh judgments against it. People are often certain, when they should be uncertain, but media casts its spell on the populace, and they go for it hook, line & sinker. There is power in uncertainty.

Exactly I don’t feel bad

the police get called to first auditors with cameras all the time. if you get robbed tell them there is a shady figure with a camera they will send up to 8 police units.

The abundance of firearms, as you call it aren't the reason for police paranoia. Actually they aren't the cause of yours. Leftist hype on the other hand, plays a significant role. Please stop it with the leftist hype, we're talking about cops gunning down an innocent unarmed man because of it.

@@chuckrobinson599 Chuck, no. First of all, I'm not in a leftist hype, though you somehow seem to believe that you know me. Which shows a lot more about your agenda than anything. Second: I'm not part of your red vs blue people. As a matter of fact, I'm very glad to be far away from a country where there's too much of a risk of either being shot by a random person with a firearm they could get at the shop next door without a problem OR by a cop that shoots before even asking for your name. And to break every effing problem down to left vs right is pathetic. It doesn't solve any problems.

The police are not suppose to shoot unless they see a gun . Him lowering his hand is not reason to shoot

@@Charmander009 Well of course not.

What do u think will happen when scared little piggies with happy trigger holding onto a gun. Any sudden move and you are dead.

That's really true. Many years ago, I was in a relationship with a man who was almost completely deaf. He wore a hearing aid in one ear but mostly relied on lip reading. One night, he was driving and a cop pulled us over. I don't remember why... just a routine stop for some reason. The cop was asking him questions, including where are you from? My BF had a very mild accent because of his deafness that used to confuse people. He sounded like he was from somewhere else and would often get asked that. Besides that, I soon realized that he wasn't answering his questions properly and the cop's demeanour was starting to get more serious. Because of his position sitting in the driver's seat and it was dark, it wasn't easy to read his lips. He also had a habit of faking it and not admitting that he was hard of hearing because people often would start yelling which didn't help at all and was embarrassing for him. I immediately told him that he better explain to the cop that he couldn't hear him, which he did then everything was okay. This was just a routine traffic stop and I was there to help but it was very eye opening.

I believe you

Good for him...and I understand your attempt at humor...cause it sure can get fast crazy...best to keep one's wits...

@@MelaNone My hard of hearing ex said he doesn't wear them at all anymore. Likes the silence. He still loves music though (collects old records... don't know how he can hear it) and driving classic cars. He married a deaf woman and has since learned sign language. Their son has normal hearing.

@@somethingelse4424 It's really difficult when in a group and everyone is talking at once. It would be hard to tell when it is directed at you. It's hard enough for a normal hearing person! I can imagine as a woman she must have felt very vulnerable in those situations. The problem with people knowing your hard of hearing is when they start talking extra loud. My ex hated it because to him it would sound distorted and was much worse than if they just spoke in a normal tone. I have kind of a low voice so he had no problem understanding me. My best friend at the time, who he nicknamed Squeaky, would raise her voice when talking to him and sound very shrill. With a hearing aid, it just amplifies the shrillness and it becomes unbearable. People don't understand that hearing aids don't give you perfect hearing like a normal person. It just makes everything louder... there's no filter. It was a constant source frustration for him.

In many states, it takes longest to become a licensed hairdresser than it does to become a police officer.

@@briangarrow448 Are you serious? Well,that explains a lot.

That and a lack of accountability. They don’t often worry about their conduct when there are few consequences.

@@majav.4887 I’m deadly serious. This isn’t true everywhere, but in far too many areas becoming a police officer requires no post secondary education or a bachelors degree. Frankly, I built power plants and was in a 5 year apprenticeship program, along with required courses every year afterwards. I spent far more time getting educated than my neighbor, who was a police officer. And he carried a gun and had the option of using it.

@@briangarrow448 Ok that doesn't sound great. And do cops in the USA earn good?

Agreed, I couldn't have said it better myself.

@@answerman9933 I do have friends and family in law enforcement. I have a great deal of respect and admiration for them. Maybe the odd cop here and there. But... that's about it.

@@neighbor4772 Ha ha very true!

A lot of youtubers been swatted quite recently. LOL! VPN is worthless if those crazies can get hold of your actual adress.

@@neighbor4772 VPNs won't help much because swatters will probably dox their target to get their address. The only way to protect yourself is to have no personally identifying information anywhere and hope that the person trying to swat you isn't committed enough to hack an account of yours to find your address.

I've known of this phenomenon even before I turned 26. These "swatters" are sociopaths, they don't care what the consequences of their actions would be what they commit this heinous crime. All these selfish people care about is what makes THEM satisfied in that moment and they have no empathy or remorse when the worst outcome occurs, even when a death such as Andrew Finch's occurs as a result of their actions.

Bottom line.... Police are humans. They come with ALL the natural flaws of any animal. Reaction is a simple part of the equation. I've been beaten by cops and was charged with "resisting without violence" I wasn't resisting, I had a full grown man on my back, punching my right side of my face and right arm he already had! Yelling STOP RESISTING!! I was laying in top.of myself atm so I screamed!!! "Officer im not resisting you!... GET OFF MY BACK!!!" So yes they're wrong!! LOTS OF TIMES!!! Especially on what was said in that case. Another case where I was ran over and the person drove away. I was walking with friends, they knew what was up. Cops said "he was pushed or jumped from a moving vehicle!" No, I wouldn't have been walking ON THE ROAD TO GET HIT! But, they're human so they make mistakes

Yeah blame the police instead of the “prankster.”

@Estelle, I live in the Los Angeles area, so unfortunately, all who live here heard about a lot of swatting incidents reported on the news even before the chuckleheaded Tyler Barris became involved in doing this. It's too bad he didn't learn his lesson after going to jail for the ABC studio bomb threat. Somehow he didn't get the message that doing things like that is a pretty messed up. It's so sad Mr. Finch and his family, especially his niece, had to bear the burden of his obtuseness and callousness. In the years before Tyler got the dimwitted idea that swatting is a "fun and exhilarating" thing to do, there were many celebrities caught up in this, including Justin Bieber, Tom Cruise, Miley Cyrus, Ashton Kutcher, Kim Kardashian, Clint Eastwood, and Paris Hilton. In just one week alone in 2013, Selena Gomez, Justin Timberlake, Russell Brand, Ryan Seacrest, Sean Combs, and Rihanna were all targeted. In 2012, there were conservative politicians and radio hosts who were victimized, and in addition to all the hundreds, if not thousands of gamers who were swatted, it's a minor miracle that more people weren't accidentally killed.

I think SOME officers understand this. There is an old video on RU-vid of a Maine state policeman doing a traffic stop and remaining calm as the driver screams at him, curses, and rips up the ticket. The officer stays cool. “Sir, pick that ticket up or I will also charge you with littering.”

They did determine that

he said he hadn't
