No, what I'm saying is that a "completely unknown situation" may present itself with a reason to "start shooting to kill at the slightest suggestion of danger". You just don't know. I'm saying that it is difficult to be "responsible" (by what I'm assuming you mean taking in more information before dispatching) in balancing appropriate responses when it's much safer to err on the side of danger and reduce response time.

I'll admit I didn't think too much about the whitelists (I assume it's just a list of streamers kept somewhere, not people sending their names in if they're a streamer to be placed on the list). It is a good idea because streamers are most often targeted by swatters (citation needed), though it obviously can't solve the problem since not all people swatted are streamers. I apologize.
