From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

How is "someone called" enough evidence to enter peoples homes and arrest them?
These officers should lose their job,
This is such an obviously dumb take its unbelievabe anyone would come up with it. Ofcourse the cops need to respond to a call of someone claiming to be assaulted/abused/murdered. There is no issue with this at all. The issue that CAN arise is that bad police training might lead to someone getting actually hurt in a raid like this. But thats an entirely different issue.
Yes, but then there's the matter of HOW they respond.
Which is what i adressed in the comment...
If you have reason to believe someone is in mortal danger, your response shouldn't be to mail a letter giving them 30 days to respond.
You send police to the scene where they secure the potential suspect and make sure there's nothing going on.
