Hell, I called in two groups in a forest lawn parking in what I thought was a very serious/dangerous situation. They were towing a guy's car up on to a flat deck and the guy was yelling and pushing people and then jumping up on the ramp, getting into the car as it was being pulled up. It looked like he could easily get seriously injured or killed.
The guy was screaming that he was calling in more of his people to come down, so the other guys (presumably from the shop) were actively calling more of their friends to come down, then everyone got heated and in eachother's faces. It almost looked like a huge racial fight starting, with more on the way.
But even with that, the dispatcher seemed almost annoyed at the call, asking if there was more than what I was describing and if I could see weapons, etc. It was almost like "Yeah, thanks for the call, maybe we'll send someone to a brawl in forest lawn, but probably not!".
