Good eye and good catch!LikesShinyThings wrote:Whoops... my "don't call 911 if it isn't an emergency" training just bumped into the logic of "call 911 so you get it reported". I'm having trouble mentally justifying the call to 911 (as opposed to non-emergency) after "the threat is past". Once he's back in his truck and gone, how can I justify the "this is an emergency" call to 911 and justify taking up their time when someone could be having a heart attack but can't get thru because I was calling?\terryg wrote: Yephere. If calling 911 would pose even a minimal distraction, I think it would be best to wait until the confrontation is over. Once he climbed back into his truck, then dial the three digits.
I'm a little sensitized because of recently reading about how people will call 911 when it isn't really an emergency. After the guy is gone, I'm no longer feeling the need for the police to show up, so what would 911 do? Or am I being over simplistic in thinking this would no longer be an emergency?
Thoughts?
