If they stopped responding, then fake SWAT calls would end being a great way to stage a violent assault. Just make a dozen fake threats to the same address, wait for the cops to lose interest, then attack.

Incredibly risky because no matter when you attack, your presence will almost certainly leave physical or digital footprints.

Much easier to terrorize by proxy via false swatting.
