When is it time, and not time to call 911?

1 Answer

Answer :

I call 911 whenever someone is kicking my ass, attacking me with an ax, or if someone has just fallen out of a tall building. Other times might include when a rabid dog bites your leg, or when you find a large amount of money and don’t know who it belongs to. If someone said they were going to kick my ass after school, I used to always call 911 before leaving the building.
