It’s pretty simple. People have been groomed to look to the state as the solution to all their problems.
I think it's part of BO's new Mommy state. When you encounter one of life's problems, call the government.
I think it’s OK to call 911 if someone throws something at you. But I’m glad the dad didn’t press charges. A DV conviction will really mess a person up and I’m not sure the situation called for that.
There was a 911 audio clip making the radio rounds several weeks ago.
The female caller was very upset because THERE WERE NOT ENOUGH SHRIMP IN HER FRIED RICE!
Here it is:

I don’t see what’s wrong with this guy calling 911. His large adult son was in a rage, throwing things and threatening to do violence directly to his father. What’s his father supposed to do? Leave the house to go get help, while his son continues to trash the place? Stay put and try to fend off the huge son? It’s not like the son was going to leave if the father just asked him too. Hopefully the father will have the sense now to stop trying to “help” his wayward son, but he had every right to call 911 when he had someone in his house doing property damage and threatening assault.
