My guess is, people don’t call the police for stupid reasons in other countries, but that aside… When the professor called the police, he should have been asked what the issue was. A knifing? A fight? And the answer of “a student won’t change seats when I tell him to”, should have been referred to university administration.
Wouldn’t the professor have been required by the school to call campus police first? Was this the real police? If so, he should be fired. We need our police force focused on real issues. Pathetic.
