Anyone notice how so many people are quick to call the cops for any little thing? Hell I've heard of people threatening someone or talking shit and calling the cops after they get their ass kicked. Women love to play this game of talk shit and hide behind the cops when they see the other person isnt playing. There's a thread somewhere with a fat soccer mom calling 911 because a school teacher is arguing with her in a parking lot wtf! I don't know how or when this started, but people are out of control since they have easy 911 access. At this point, I'm more worried about someone calling the boys in blue if something escalates than getting in a fight or anything like that.
Why are Americans so anxious to call the cops?
It is because people don't want to responsible for their own lives.
Parents run off to school and berate teachers for not doing X, Y or Z to help their kids when the parents should be the ones doing that for their kids.
Feminists run off to politicians to seek special seats, just for women, on corporate boards simply because they don't have the ability to achieve that outright on their own.
Americans are trained to be this way. This is what the system wants. Permanent dependents so the system gets to self-perpetuate.
This has to be broken for America to continue on a going-forward basis. I don't see that happening, though.

We have been trained not to take actions into our own hands and that we must rely on the government rather than ourselves... even on our own property in a lot of cases.
Feminism has replaced the dominant male household figure with big government (cops, welfare,etc) to take care of women, protect them, and keep them in line. It replaced the typical patriarchal system--Husband protects wife/father protects kids.
Think of all these instances where childish women call 911 for trivial reasons---they really just need a strong rational male to help them sort out the situation, but thanks to feminism they are one phone call away from utilizing massive and overwhelming police state power. Feminism 101--always be dependent on the state because you don't need a man.
Smart cunts know how to milk the new system to their benefit. Anytime they don't get their way they at least threaten to call the cops (usually works). If that fails--escalate the (non)situation by yelling and screaming, call cops, begin crying incoherently, and then blame the man when the cops arrive. Best of all--no negative consequences for these little drama queens. They never get in trouble for crying wolf or wasting police time. That is why women do it with such reckless abandon.

Taking things into your own hands can get you into a lot of trouble.
Right or wrong, such action is often deemed vigilante justice and is commonly treated by law enforcement as criminal.
Calling the cops protects your ass from both the person threatening your safety and from being thrown in jail for action out of concern for your safety.
In a good chunk of the western world, you can old "take responsibility for yourself or your property if you are boxed into a corner." In those States where you are entitled to take extreme action to protect yourself and your property, you still have to prove post-incident that you weren't the actual inciter.
Example: Three individuals attempt to hold up a vehicle with two individuals inside, both of whom are carry legally concealed weapons.
The result is a fire fight, in which no one is killed, but several individuals from both sides of the altercation are injured.
The police take a report and arrest all five parties. They press charges. The case goes to trial and the jury needs to make a decision with three witnesses arguing one side and two witnesses arguing the other side.
Regardless of who started the incident and who was actually defending themselves, who is the jury obligated to believe, assuming that there is no physical evidence collected by the police that indicate who created the situation?
Living in a supposedly civil society has it's challenges.

Some comedian said something along the lines of this but in America at least, the "motto" is "To serve and protect", when in reality, the attitude of most cops is "What the fuck are you looking at?". American police generally don't take it upon themselves to attempt to solve a situation, when generally, at least 30% of situations could be solved with a reasonable police officer coming in and using logic to look at a situation and come up with a solution. Usually, they'll look to exert their power over who shows the least respect and make an arrest and let the courts handle the rest. People that use the cops as a back pocket weapon against others are at probably aware that it's a great inconvenience to have to deal with the police, even if you know you've done nothing wrong.
It might also have a lot to do with cops coming out to stupid ass phone calls. do you think the police would respond if they were called to a home because a neighborhood bully(I hate that term by the way) beat their kid up if they were in oh I don't know how about mexico because of it's proximity. The kid would have to be dead first over there. Then people see that their whole lives and think that's how they are suppose to act.
Civil law is the same way but with big financial gains. I remember in the 90's when some old lady won a million dollars from McDonalds because she spilled coffee on her self. The argument being that the container didn't indicate the coffee was hot. How fucking stupid did she have to be right? That shit would have been laughed out of court anywhere in the world even today we'll say Viet Nam for arguments sake.
So now a totally natural social interaction like a small scrap goes like this state side.
me: I'm about to beat your ass.
bitch boy: Yea and I'll call the cops and sue your ass.
Then I have to make a choice. Does this guys threat supersede mine?
Now transplant this to somewhere like Poland. How do you think this would go down? Blows would be thrown. I might win the day I might loose but we go our way a bit richer each, from the experience.
I fear a lot of the 1st world is going this way but the US is certainly leading the charge on this one.

You can work stupid, but you can't fix a fat body.
I think it's also because dealing with people in general is becoming harder. They're not polite, they're selfish and they get angry fast. They're unpredictable and they're liabilities. So I would understand why someone would want to get out of a discussion as fast as possible. They just don't want to deal with it.
I call the police a few times a year. I pay enough in taxes, so they should do their jobs, right?
I haven't called 911 in years, but I call the non-emergency number to report incidents. The other night, I was driving behind someone who appeared to be driving drunk. A month or two ago, I noticed some guy at 1am on a weeknight on the street working on (under) my neighbor's car -- potential thief? Then I've also reported cases of broken down cars that are obstructing traffic or causing a hazard.
In the case of my neighbor's car, I'm not going to risk my life to go out and investigate what's going on -- maybe it was a criminal and maybe they were armed. I'm also not going to stop what I'm doing an direct traffic around a broken down car. It's dangerous for me, and it's likely to cause more problems than it will help. The police are there for that type of thing.

Somebody did that to me a few weeks back. I know it was a female, so the overwhelming odds are that she was some horrible, bottom of the barrel, D.C. area loser. Basically she called 911 and gave the police my tag number. The police tracked me down to my gym where I had just started doing some cardio. I saw the lights outside the gym and went outside to see what was going on. The one officer recognized me and pretty much left me alone. The other guy either didn't know me or was playing dumb and seemed convinced that I was drunk. First off, I don't drink when I'm here. Second, the fact that I was in the gym getting work done should make it clear that I was sober. The guy decided to administer the ngstagmus and I guess he didn't observe any clues and they let me go.

Hot Coffee Lawsuit context
There are many cases of frivolous lawsuits but this is one is a very common myth unfair to the plaintiff in the case. McDonalds brewed their coffee at an extremely high temperature, higher than normal and past the point where contact with the liquid would result in burns. She was just looking for hospital bills reimbursement.

Very interesting, didn't know that. But medically speaking, why is 180 fahrenheit (87 °C) liquid so much more dangerous than the one at 150 (65 °C)? I thought both would cause severe burns if a person was drenched in a significant amount of liquid that hot.

Ya, the only way to know for sure is to go ahead and give it a shot and work up a datasheet for us. At worst, it'll be something fun for those of us with the high IQ curse to bust out at dinner parties, thinking that we'll get laid because of our informative bite sized bits of fun trivia.

I think the major reason has to do with the ongoing pussification and feminization of America. It also has a lot to do with the attendant lack of interpersonal social skills that people have today.
Instead of trying to work out their problems, people just pick up the phone and call 911. Hell, if there is a Big Brother out there, people are going to call him.
Women love to pick up a phone and call "Daddy". The ready availability of the Telephone White Knight means that woman now know they can use it whenever they want.

They lie when they call too. Sometimes people report "shooting" or "gun shots" when kids are shooting off fireworks
so they get an instant response. It's bullshit.

Some white girl online said some racist things after I said "what's up" or something innocent like that. I told her I'd slap some sense into her if I ever run into her and she said she's gonna show that to the cops for harassment ![[Image: mindblown2.png]](http://www.rooshvforum.network/images/smilies/mindblown2.png)

I see nothing wrong with reporting drunk drivers. I happened to be behind the car for a few miles, and watched the swerving and crossing the double yellow lines numerous times during that stretch. The others in my car agreed it was probably a drunk driver.
Honestly, I've always been under the impression cop-calling was pretty frowned on in the states.
Might just be where I'm from though.

I think this may vary based on where in the US you live. I live in a pretty good part of town, so the cops in my district don't see much real action (mostly property crimes, even 1 murder in a year is an anomaly), so they are happy to get some "work" to keep them busy.
Last year, there was a rash of cars being broken into at night. Well, even "broken into" is a stretch, as most people in my neighborhood just leave their car doors unlocked like idiots.. but anyway, the cops actually set up a stakeout one night and did catch the criminals. Think of that -- a stakeout all over a few stolen GPSes and sunglasses.
