What happens in other countries when the police receive an anonymous report of an ongoing violent crime at a residence?

What do the police in those countries do differently?

You are asking other people to explain your associations and assumptions.

If you want to discuss a topic in a productive manner, the first thing to do is to honestly say something about what you believe and why.

What actual observations of the world led you to your generalizations?
