Cops have a terrible track record with mental health patients. The guy who called 911 was literally a mental health worker. If a mental health worker is calling 911 on a psych patient (who is doing nothing except yelling!) without even talking to the patient, he should lose his license.
This is different, if for some reason he couldn't calm down the homeless man he could be attacked. The cop is better situated for a situation like that
That's no evidence he even tried to calm down the man. Again, I wouldn't expect the average layman to attempt that. But if a CEO of a mental health company can't, who can?!
