To be fair, it’s often difficult to judge a situation over the phone. Some crazy people sound like regular ones. And even more so in the opposite direction. Normal people might sound crazy in emergency situations. So there isn’t really a reliable way to tell them apart. And they then need to dispatch someone to find out.
Plus with good cops you’d rather have them one too many times then on too few.
Yeah exactly. I mean it takes some balance and they absolutely need to be sensitive. But it is like this in some professions. Once you put in the effort to put away your lunch, drive somewhere etc, you’re then going to engage. At least talk to people and try to assess the situation. Same for firefighters, paramedics and even some technicians. And it’s the right call in lots of inconspicuous situations. At some point the stop giving a f… and just bother people because the alternative is they’ll occasionally have to return to the same situation several hours later and it’ll usually have become worse in the meantime.
