Maybe he was cuffed in the front instead of being cuffed to the back.

First he was giving them his IP address and now they have him in custody after pulling an "automatic" on him?
Why?
How is he being able to post this on Twitter then?

They didn't arrest, maybe? Put him in back of car while they searched, then released him.

His Twitter is connected to his Facebook via Facebook app/plugin. When he posts on his facebook wall, his Twitter automatically updates. He posted to his facebook timeline via his phone.
his ip spelled "FUCK DA COPS"

He probably refused to drop his mouse.
He's asking how he typed it while in handcuffs.

I love Pokken!
why i'm feeling this is just a whole scam for this guy to get some attention?
You can type with voice nowadays fairly easily too?

The maturity rating here is still about a 2/10, but the drama level is through the roof. The net result of that's is generally still pretty boring, though. It's not easy for people to call the police and just randomly talk them into being serious enough to hold someone in custody and doing a fourth amendment-questionable home search on their property.
Thus it sort of reeks of a hoax but the DDoS did still happen which muddies it up a little. There's either a really great or really awful story behind this all, with not much room in the middle.

Sounds like he is taking the chance to advertise himself (after all that's what streamers look for).
Is imposible that the police goes into his house with automatic guns, only possible reason for that is that these guys are giving false denounces to the police about drugs / hostages / terrorism... And in that case those assholes will be in jail for a longer time than just for the DDoS attack.

was a false hostage situation claim

bind did you see this: http://www.wwe.com/videos/tom-phill...we-app-wwe-app-exclusive-dec-27-2013-26172845
Yeah, that's the impression I'm getting too. This is all ridiculous.

I consider myself to be below average intelligence and ddos pretty much comes down to something like
iptables -A output -p tcp -d <ip> -m tcp --tcp -flags SYN,ACK,RST -i drop
followed by
hping 3 --faster -S <ip>
I've only seen it done live in person once.

There is no way the guy has access to a phone while the house is on lockdown and he is in the back of a cruiser. Pretty fucking sure the cops aren't going to give you a means to communicate with anyone but them while they suspect criminal activity.
I'm calling bullshit.

Playing Swapper opened my eyes. Those puzzles, bro.
Even in that case is mostly impossible that they break into the house.
Is not like the SWAT is moved to the scene without confirmation... first some agents would confirm the situation by getting close to the house, having a look and calling to the door. And if a hostages situation is confirmed then the SWAT unit would be called and it would take 30-60 min to form it up and reach the location, even in states with permanent SWAT units like CA.
This sounds like this guy looking for more fans.

Im not saying its not possible but its very unlikely that a guy who sole job is streaming to risk his reputation and credibility on the line for a one time gig. Are you telling me he is willing to throw away potential sponsor, risk a ban from twitch, and risk a ban from riot all to make some one quick time CPM money?
That sounds incredibly stupid. He was already a successful streamer that had plentiful subscribers and donations.
I would agree with you if PL wasn't already famous in the LoL community. His job is to stream games, and by doing so get sponsors, donations, subscribers and etc. He isn't going to get shit if this is one big lie.
edit
In the long run, I don't think this is a big hoax. It would be incredibly stupid to risk your career (and for him it was a job) over something so trivial as a one time fame.

Not if the officer was hoping to play a little LoL to unwind after a long patrol.
Streamers do this kind of job because they like the fame. There are many cases of TV people or journalists doing crazy/stupid stuff just for their 15 min. of fame. Is in their personality, they want atention (I'm not saying that is something terrible, just that not everyone is like that).
additionally the officers may not have approved of phantomlord's occasional toxic behavior in the fields of justice
here we see the tribunal being translated to real life as the cops point guns in his face and shout menacing things
"ur banned", they whisper as they shove phantomlord into the car

Police show up, knock on door, he answers, complies to a search of the home, they cuff him per normality sake, remove him from home as per normal, sweep, clear, release him, he posts

No, streamers do this job for plenty of reasons. Not just because of fame. There is no one reason why anybody takes any particular job. Are you that naive?
Lets just pretend this is a hoax. So twitch will probably ban him, if not twitch riot will because they don't want something like this associated to their brand and hurt "esports". His whole job would need to be re-adjusted all for a one time thing. seriously?

That was an accident thats why. They already address that. if this was a hoax it would be intentional. Way different
What happend to the guy who forgot to turn off his webcam before having sex with his girl?

'Forgot'.
In that picture why do the police need agents with automatic guns?
I'm not saying that everyone be like that, but in this case that's how it looks like to me (if he is the one behind this).
I should have put "many" in the beginning of the sentence sorry.

I did this same thing on /r/atheism. I said I was a kid running away from my religious alcoholic mother who grounded by for owning a science book. She took my cell phone and I have no way to call family. I was running away in the middle of the country area, miles from civilization.
After several "this is why I hate religion" posts, someone with common sense stepped in and asked how I was on Reddit running away from home. I don't know why it took 10 minutes for someone to catch that...
TL;DR - Trolls be trollin'.
Pretty sure people would riot if that happened.

This can't possibly be true... Can it?
Does this Twitchguy actually have his personal information public? How could the DDOS guy have his street address unless his personal information got compromised ?

Did he get swatted or not?
Information can be gotten extremely easily.

I don't really care if this is true or not, I just want to play ranked today 
Power of the internet. Swifty (WoW nut) for example got also the cops called to his house by some pranker, it was even on stream. You could see how the cops came in and asked him questions.
or Sodapoppin got a few pizzas delivered to his house. Pretty scary stuff.
