The cop could have politely declined, chided her for five minutes about misusing the 911 system, and given her a desk appearance ticket so that she could get some court-ordered counselling. That was probably all that was necessary IMHO.

You would not believe the things people call the cops for.
Lost their keys
Chocolate Chip Cookie Recipe
a person walking (where they are legally able to walk)
they are lonely (not suicidal)
Whatever you do, do not call 911 and tell them the cops are in a fight, beating up your brother, son, daughter, sister, uncle, cousin, step-relative, auntie, friend etc.... Because when that happens they send a lot more cops.
I think I have posted this before, but it is so fitting for this conversation.
