> I don’t really understand what you want the police to do in these situations where they receive calls about gun crimes in progress. They can’t just assume it’s a prank and wait around to see if anyone dies before they choose to send some police to investigate. If they assumed it was a prank, there's a chance nobody would die, unlike in this case where they did make sure somebody would. Is that the point you're making?
