ImperialHal’s background was heard and police told him to raise his hands and get to the floor. He was heard complying with the law enforcement officials and soon afterwards went back to the game and said that it was all okay.

Law enforcement already knew that it was just a false call when they realized that Hal is streaming playing video games. They advised the streamer to set up a VPN to prevent these kinds of incidents from happening in the future.

Hal said that the police didn’t do anything crazy and that they were pretty civil about it. He explained that it was just a misunderstanding explaining that it wasn’t truly a serious call and was just someone trying to make fun of him.
