@drewdevault I wouldn't lump medical emergencies together with threat of violence, as I think threat of violence requires specifics insofar as the police are offered as a solution, considering the police pose one of the greatest threats of violence to many vulnerable peoples in many countries around the world (black people in North America in particular and in Europe, for example).

Ive done hacker workshops in Europe with anarchist coops where a large number of the residents and participants are refugees, and the last thing you would ever do is call the police, because many people are on the run from immigration police and it could cause them to be deported to terrible conditions of torture and often murder in the countries they fled from (incidentally due to crisis spurred by western interventions)
