Not that my kids would do it (I get always praise how well behaved they are, I'd be actually happier especially if my son was more wild), but pissing people off is completely legal and not police business. Just because you don't like something doesn't make it illegal.

For instance buying apartment next to basketball playground and then complaining about kids playing there basketball and making noise is not police business but idiots call police on kids having fun, apparently they should be better staring at phones at home, so old people can then complain kids nowadays don't spend enough time outdoors.

So how do suggest responding to someone when they're pissing you off?

Then now add the scenario where it's probably socially unacceptable to interact with other people's kids

Go speak to the kids and if the parents come out because you're speaking to them, awesome, now you can talk to the parents!

shitty kids that needs to be spoken to listen to you or reason with you? or now your the guy yelling at kids? kids dont even totally developed empathy. and parents are totally reasonable about their kids?

Not talking to people is rarely the solution for resolving conflicts. You also have made some assumptions that someone pissing you off is now a shitty person. You've also set an unreasonably high bar of totally reasonable. I think most people are mostly reasonable about their kids. If you start off with "Hi, your shitty kid is pissing me off" then sure, you're not likely to get far, but if you explain legitimate concerns then most people are likely to respond reasonably.
