It usually takes several minutes for an altercation to escalate. Remember,
now there are only fists involved.

According to a recent article in the Atlanta Journal Constitution,
Atlanta police were the slowest to answer high-priority emergency calls
among police departments from seven similar-sized cities. The results
were part of a survey of police response times. In Atlanta in 2010 it
took, on average, 11 minutes and 12 seconds from the time a
high-priority 911 call was received until an Atlanta police officer
showed up at the scene. The response times reported by the El Paso
(Texas) Police Department were only one second quicker than Atlanta¹s,
with an average of 11 minutes and 11 seconds.
The Denver Police Department posted a response time of 11 minutes flat.
According to the Journal Constitution story, police in Tucson, Ariz.,
responded, on average, in 10 minutes and 11 seconds.
In Nashville-Davidson County, police recorded average response times
below 9 minutes.

This is WAY longer than it takes to escalate altercations unless
someone calls the cops the first time one guy eyes another.
