Joker swatted on live. Was this reaction justified?

I originally posted this on "r/ImTheMainCharacter" but apparently it wasn't MainCharacter-ish enough for them. Lmk where I should post it next.

First thing the cop does it push over the camera so it cant record them stealing things from the garage and breaking shit

What does this have to do with "the joker"?

Apparently the streamer is a "self-proclaimed" joker.. whatever that means. It's also the only relevant "cringe" subreddit that would actually take this video. Feel free to read the description before commenting; would probably help you out a ton!

To the ones saying "not joker related" here's some context.

He's known as Toronto Joker.

I would definitely prefer to have my arrest recorded. Really I would like a recording of any interaction I have with police.

Edit: spelling

I don't see what this has to do with the joker. Fuck the cops though.

Here, I'll just copy and paste what I wrote to this other dude who asked the same question.

so many questions...

why the horizontal shovel. what was its purpose and why did he need to take it down.

did he know he was about to get raided and said, let me go out to my garage and setup a camera. A good swat team is going to enter and clear a house in less time than it takes to setup a camera and pose.

Did they not have a warranty and so couldnt enter, but he decided to setup the camera and open the door under his own free will?

The shovel was probably being used as some sort of door jam, in theory anyway. That motor is probably stronger than the average hood rat trying to break in.

Kinda like when you jam a old, wooden chair under a door knob
