It's that easy to overload 911 in the USA.

I live in a neighborhood that is urban and being gentrified. We have a
vigilant crimewatch. Our hoodlum neighbors (now gone) had a small riot
in the alley. A full-on brawl with about 15 people. SO many neighbors
called 911 (about 20 at once) some of us received busy signals.
