I think they are intending for crimes previously committed to reported online. On going crimes have the ability to escalate. For this purpose alone I would imagine they might want to respond to an ongoing crime. Just my thoughts. Put them with a dollar and you might afford a candy bar.
In my hypothetical example, you won't necessarily be on the phone with the police at the time of discovery (perhaps you are already outside in your driveway). Also, by the time you were to be able to call them, the scumbag has walked away with your stuff. This is a decision that would need to be made in a few minutes, possibly only seconds.

Seems no different if they plan to respond or not in you example dirtbag would already have moved on anyway. Would it matter at that point if you got someone in the flesh or on the phone?
No. The question is, what does a person do on the spot (now knowing that the police (at least in Dallas), are not responding to this particular example)? In my hypothetical example, the owner of the vehicle is already watching the scumbag prying open the door of his truck.
Really? You are saying that from Gonzales. I drive through Uptown, Downtown, Gentilly, and Mid-City every day. I see a lot of proactive enforcement by NOPD in those areas. Most notably I see 107 stops at least twice a day.
The NOPD is under staffed thanks to The Statue Hunter. They are actually doing a good job with what they have.

I’m pretty sure if it’s an ongoing crime they would want to respond. If you are afraid they might not fit the word gun into the conversation with the operator.
Crimes in progress are fluid it would but dangerous not to respond in person. I don’t believe that is the intent of Dallas PD or whoever that was in the link. I think the intent was to decrease expo and down time created by going and collecting a statement from a person who’s car was burgled the night before.
I have personally worked alongside NOPD officers and know that they are overworked and under appreciated.
The life they live is often quite difficult due to their job but they willingly do so and add a hell of a lot of value to everyone’s lives in general society because of their actions.
And I feel the same about all those who choose to enter law enforcement.
Sure, there are turds but by and large they’re great people and I truthfully am grateful they do what they do.
Just my .02¢

Please don't falsify public record so the police will respond to your radar detector being stolen over a person in legitimate danger. This isn't a joke.
LA R.S. 14:133. Filing or maintaining false public records
A. Filing false public records is the filing or depositing for record in any public office or with any public official, or the maintaining as required by law, regulation, or rule, with knowledge of its falsity, of any of the following:
(1) Any forged document.
(2) Any wrongfully altered document.
(3) Any document containing a false statement or false representation of a material fact.
B. The good faith inclusion of any item of cost on a Medical Assistance Program cost report which is later determined by audit to be nonreimbursable under state and federal regulations shall be an affirmative defense to a violation of this Section.
C.(1) Whoever commits the crime of filing false public records shall be imprisoned for not more than five years with or without hard labor or shall be fined not more than five thousand dollars, or both.
(2) In addition to the penalty provided for in Paragraph (1) of this Subsection, a person convicted of the provisions of this Section may be ordered to pay restitution to the state if the state suffered a loss as a result of the offense. Restitution shall include the payment of legal interest at the rate provided in R.S. 13:4202.

Not my intent.
1. I always have a gun so there is no need to lie.
2. The need for gun and the immediate need for an officer hinges on the confrontation. Another words if they run away, I ain’t giving chase. I hate running and prefer to use that skill for avoidance and not pursuit.
In his hypothetical he seemed to be concerned with a burglar potential to attacking or feeling the urge to attack the burglar, and there be no police response. My point was if you call regarding an on going situation I don’t believe they would refuse to respond. Mentioning in the call that you are armed and are about to confront the person would make it pretty difficult to not respond.
BTW fuzz-busters as many call them will help you earn more tickets than they are worth. Speaking from experience here.
Also there is nothing in my truck worth shooting someone over, but that doesn’t mean I hide inside and allow someone to tear my stuff up either.

It's tough to reasonably see any other intent. If there's a gun involved, it will come up in the conversation organically. The only reason to "fit the word gun into the conversation" is if it's not relevant.

Well some folks want to keep things like that to themselves. I’ve never made a 911 call for a burglary. Of the times I’ve made those calls, guns were mentioned once and it was about a neighbor who was blowing stuff up and simulating automatic fire way too close to my house. I didn’t feel the need to mention I was armed. If I intended on confronting someone you best believe that’s part of the conversation.
My point was if you think it’s serious enough to warrant an immediate response it wouldn’t be that hard to achieve it. Any time I may have to confront someone committing a crime you best believe I want back up so I’m telling them everything that could be relevant.
Not trying to give advice or anything... but are you familiar with the term, ‘Rooftop Koreans’? The owner of the vehicle could go Rooftop Korean on their ass.
I’m thinking the Rooftop Korean option is a viable one.
That's alright. Your point was quite obvious. It doesn't matter what else is going on that the police need to respond to, if you feel like the police should respond to you immediately, add some buzzwords to make sure the police respond right them.

Ok so I’m a self centered a-hole because I can’t stand by and let someone burgle and vandalize my ****? I’m not causing the problem I just want help with it. I’m glad to wait patiently if something happened over night and there ain’t anything anyone can do but file a report...
