It’s actually a sane strategy. He who calls the cops second, loses. Paul Harrell had a video on the subject, including plenty of personal anecdotes and police input. Might be this one:
But yeah, no matter what is happening, YOU call 911 FIRST. In example after example he shows how the first caller is presumed to be the aggravated party.
Doesn’t matter if this offends anyone. Doesn’t matter if it’s just. It is. Criminals know this, and we all should as well.
EDIT: Everyone should watch the first minute or three to see what an unbiased, educational presentation looks like, no matter the subject. He starts by outlining how complicated the subject is and states, “My opinions are based on my education, my training, my experience. Different people have different experiences so they have different opinions (emphasis mine). I make NO claim that my opinion has it’s origin in the mind of greatness.” LOL, it’s a rather famous disclaimer among us fans.
Classic teaching outline. He tells you what he’s going to tell you, tells you, and then summarizes. And no matter the “obvious” conclusion, he invites the viewer to draw their own conclusions. I’ve seen the man defend the craziest ideas, and yet show both sides of the argument. As dad always said, “If you can’t argue both sides, you don’t understand the subject.”
If you are in a position to teach, please learn the art from Paul. RIP my man.
You know you’ve had a privileged life when you start the altercation and then call the police yourself. That’s some entitlement.
