      But wouldnt that mean that the police would have to consider themselves to be murderers…

        Yes but unironically. They will pull the trigger and murder an innocent person then blame the person who called 911.

            And possible self-harm moments. It’s all about making sure that nobody is liable for letting things fall through the cracks and not about helping people to have better lives.

        I guess when they’re in a country where mass shootings happen frequently, they respond as if they’re going to get shot at. Not that it justifies their actions all the time. Not even close. But the guy was sending reports knowing that the chances of someone getting harmed were high, that’s pretty much pushes him into terrorism territory tbh.
