All I'm saying is that once LE is called, they will come in and take over and the outcome might not be what the caller wants or expects.

Cops are human. They have human failings. Domestic disturbances scare them. Domestic disturbances are inherently emotional, chaotic, and unpredictable. Cops get killed responding to domestic disturbances.

Does that mean we shouldn't call 911 if we think someone's life is in danger? No, that's not what I'm saying. What I'm saying is that once you make that call you've turned over control. Should it be that way? No. Ideally, LE would include only highly skilled officers focused on deescalating and given the resources to do that, but things aren't very ideal around here lately.
