In reply to rayjeh.

I was recently in a situation where people wouldn't listen (a man was fighting his girlfriend) and I threatened to call the cops cause I didn't know what to do. They were parked in front of my property.

I told them I called but I really didn't. If I were to have really done it I'm not confident it would have helped. Matter of fact I'm pretty sure it wouldn't have.

This was probably her thinking as well. I didn't want to be responsible for another senseless death by the police so I didn't call. They ended up leaving finally with that threat though.
