That's not even the question. You need the back story. ie. how "known" to police were the victim and perp , how busy was the police at that time, and why did they not attend. those are the questions that need answering. which is now in the SIU's hands

domestic disturbance

In a lot of places, nobody can cancel these. The cops verify everyone present is of good health before fucking off.

I accidentally pocket-dialed 911 the other day, and was able (much too easily, I thought) tell them that it was a false alarm. I was bounced to the cop line, but they just asked a few basic questions and let it go.

I was relieved, but on another level, concerned about the damage that a good bullshitter could do.

It's also a general policy that a domestic violence call will always receive a visit. Even if there is a call to cancel it. The risk is too high of an abusers influence for the police to not visit and clear the scene.

So it's good the SIU is looking into what happened here.
