    This is why calling cops to solve family disputes is a bad idea. They peddle violence, and to a hammer everything looks like a nail.

      I disagree. Had to call the cops a few times to settle family disputes, they were always the best course of action.

        I remember a woman from the US called the police because her son was having a mental breakdown and threatened to kill himself with his shotgun. Multiple police arrived and found the woman talking to his son who is inside his vehicle. The police saw the shotgun and promptly shot the son multiple times with the mother just outside the car in close proximity.
