I thought I answered that in the sentence immediately following the one you 
included.  I'm not ruling out the possibility that somebody could think that 
when calling the police, but I don't think very many do and I don't think that 
is a reasonable or realistic mindset when calling the police.

I'd like to think I have a bit of expertise in this area having been a 
prosecutor for 4 years, prosecuting nothing but domestic violence related 
crimes.  I'm relatively familiar with the training police get and what their 
response should be in home invasion situations.  IOW I'm not just pulling this 
stuff out of my ass.

Mike.

Less chance *anyone* will be killed.
