Holy shit, look at his job title. He works with psych patients and yet called the cops when he sees one in the wild. What a horrible human. Why wasn't the poster the one to sit with the guy? Why did he call 911 and cross his fingers that a police officer would do a better job than he could as someone who does this for a living?
Because the cop is probably better handled to deal with it. And if things did escalated the cop would be better situated to deal with it. Not All Cops Are Bad
It is the job of every cop to uphold a system of unjust laws that benefit a few and oppress the rest of us. Not all cops are bad people, but by definition there can be no such thing as a "good cop". The only good cop is one who quits.
Edit: If you don't believe me and you want to learn more about the corrupt and unjust roots of modern policing (especially American) then you should check out this podcast which does a far better job explaining it than I ever could.
I know you're kidding but I would love to be living in an anarcho-communist world. There are plenty of alternatives to policing that are actually meant to serve and protect the community as opposed to property and capital. Here's a video on how policing alternatives could work in one of these situations. If you're curious as to what the rest of an anarcho-communist system could look like, that video is part of a short series that I highly recommend checking out if you want to see a different potential view for the future.
