On Aug. 3, 2022, one officer sent a memo to the acting police captain requesting the couple's home be marked as a "swatter house." The captain declined, saying it could cause a "complacency issue for responding officers.”

In bodycam footage from one incident, shared with CBC by Tomlinson's lawyers, an officer can be heard saying: "This guy keeps getting swatted."

Nevertheless, Tomlinson says, the police kept showing up, sometimes multiple times per day. ... The city has made no changes to policy and no officers have been disciplined for violating Niki and Patrick’s constitutional rights. That’s hard to believe after the taxpayers settled for over a half million dollars.
