India, Aug. 5 -- The Miami-Dade Sheriff's Office (MDSO) said deputies responded to celebrity blogger Perez Hilton's Miami home after receiving multiple reports of a TikTok livestream allegedly showing acts of self-harm. After assessing the situation, deputies chose to "tactically disengage."

Officers spoke with family members outside the residence and confirmed Hilton was alone inside the home. Deputies claimed that instead of making contact right away, they "tactically disengaged" while keeping an eye on the situation.

The phrase left many wondering what it means and why officers sometimes choose that approach.

The livestream was later removed, and TikTok suspended Hilton's account.
