Ignored 911 call leads to death of innocent person

[MyndFyre]

And it causes incidents like this to happen.

No.  We are always taught that, no matter what, 911 calls are always considered seriously.  Every time 911 is pranked from my building's payphone, the police show up.

Any time there is such an emergency service it will be abused.  There's no way around it.  We just need to be prepared to respond to them.

Completely agreed.  Like I was saying earlier, this is a lot like bomb threats.  Even if they "know" it's a prank (Ie -- 4/20), they always respond.
