    Someone calls an emergency number and says “My husband has a knife and he’s threatening to kill me!”

    Should the operator say “nothing we can do until you provide provide me with some evidence, ma’am” ?

        Well the cops might be taking pics of a dead body the next day. So then they could say “yeah we probably should’ve responded to that one last night, but we just couldn’t risk that it might’ve been one of the 0.01% of these calls where it turns out it’s an internet swatting thing.”
