Well, that’s my take on it.
Never call the cops in a family dispute unless you are cursed with a crazy inlaw who is actively trying to kill you.
And if that’s the case, they’ll almost certainly arrive too late, anyway.
Definitely.
I’m reminded of several situations where the cops were called in to “help” in family situations. One, where a deaf and developmentally-disabled guy was wielding a RAKE in Detroit, and another where a family member was freaking out in the kitchen.
I both cases, the family met the cops and explained the situation. In both situations, the cop charged in and killed the guy. They called the family for help and the cop escalates the situation through confrontation, resulting in a shooting.
