Don't you know what "play fighting" is?
A lot of times when some of these teens are pummeling one or two of their friends they are just "play fighting". If someone gets hurt it wasn't intentional. It is just "play fighting"!

I saw the ambulance on Paulina when I got off the train. NO, it was too cold to wander up there. If it was the 7700 block, it was possibly one of the 'problem' Northpoint buildings, according to the manager and their security....

Or it may have been some nice children over the age of 12 playing in the HW Playlot...

Also, a squad with flashing lights was on Howard past the Greenview/Rogers/Howard intersection.

A few of those calls turned out to be bogus. Someone said something on here not long ago about fake 911calls.

Not a smart thing to do. Technology has advanced to the point where calls can be traced. If someone is doing this nonsense to stir up tension, which already is a problem in RP, they need to cool it.
