- Everything we know is wrong (to some degree)
Only after the fact? So, in every case when a cop is called, there is a potential situation requiring violence? That sure sounds wrong. And biased
Actually this is good idea. If we could just teach potential abusers to announce their intentions in advance, then poof, we wouldn't need the police meanies. But it's not clear how we get them to announce in advance. What is your idea here?
Since it is difficult to convince potential abusers to announce their plans in advance to the police, I would suggest hiring psychic 911 operators. If they 'sense' that the disturbance is a mother and son loudly arguing about the son cleaning his room then they can dispatch a social worker to negotiate a resolution. If they 'sense' the disturbance is a home invasion then they can dispatch the police. (Or maybe a very persuasive social worker that can convince the intruder to drive himself to the police station and turn himself in.)
