IMO if you call the cops on anybody over anything less than a murder or mass-shooting or something, you’re an asshole and you’re partly responsible for whoever they kill. Ultimately the pigs pull the trigger, but people need to smarten up at some point or another and realize that calling the cops is – for all intents and purposes – calling in a death squad.
My rule for calling the cops is “Would adding an unhinged maniac with a gun to this situation improve things?” Which means pretty much exclusively active shooter scenarios.
