Agree with this - calling the cops on him is a harmful action even if the intention was a positive end result. If this is in the US, you just pointed violent people with firearms at your friend, and asked them to use violence against him. I would never trust someone again who did that to me.

Hang on, op didn’t call the police, they called a crisis team who are trained professionals.

Those professionals, for better or worse, chose to include the police.

we all know cops come with these situations, it's effectively the same thing, it's more that the crisis team came with the cops.

I thought the same thing, why not calling family first and let them provide help...
