I was awoken last night by a couple having a loud fight somewhere outside my window. Probably the next building over. For the ten minutes or so until it ended, I wasn't sure whether I should call the police. If no violence was going happen, I'd rather not make potentially huge trouble for them, especially since they're Black and I worry they'd be treated unfairly by officers.

Then, it happened twice more, with breaks between that lasted almost long enough for me to get to sleep. It sounded pretty ugly sometimes, but so did a lot of fights my ex and I had in the last year or so we were living together. It did finally stop, somewhere around 1:45, so I got to sleep again. I'm still up almost two hours later than I wanted to be, though I have just needed some sleep too.

How do you decide when something like that happening in your vicinity merits a call to the police?
