>Not responding to a swat call is not really an option with the way the system is setup.

This is 100% not true in the US. The police have no obligation to show up what so ever as decided by the SCOTUS.

>ne day could get criminals breaking in another

And like in every large city they'll get put on hold when calling 911 and maybe the cops show up 30 minutes later.

> not show up in actual reality with actual lives at stake?

As they say, when seconds matter, help is 15 to 20 minutes away.
