Why is this called a hack? This is nothing from hacking nor what the connotation of hack means. This is just social exploitation and misuse of public services for the safety of people.
People who are genuinely considered "hackers" will not try to spend the time to send a police convoy to your place, since most of these incidents involved some people who had the least of a clue to hide their identity while doing so, getting themselves in legal trouble afterwards. "Hackers" would most likely, with their skills, target something vast more important and hard hitting than to send a police convoy. SWATing is just an scary and agitating inconvenience since mostly they will find nothing to convict you of.
