I say this as an American: maybe start making friends with the other countries because we are not gonna be okay whatever happens.

Your family is in our neighbourhood and in this domestic dispute I’m just wondering if I need to call the police or the abundance.

In America, you can’t call just one—you’ll still get police if you just ask for an ambulance.
Source: am American, have tried calling for only an ambulance before.

We call an ambulance we get fire dept first responders, then an ambulance if you need it. Never got the police, and we have done it many times with my father in law with heart issues.
… And I live in Tulsa

Did they charge an extra $10k for the police?

Indeed, the person in the ambulance went bankrupt. I’m not even kidding.

Who’s driving that ambulance?

Both? One of these guys is a convicted felon turned robber baron and the other is a retirement home escapee who has lost the light in their eyes.
