This is a national sport in SSOI, calling the police on people. I have a friend who was a day late on his rent. His landlord called the police.
I was once playing whiffle ball with some kids. We had a nice game going, a whole playground with two teams. Then some teenagers came with a soccer ball and started kicking it around hitting the kids. When I asked them to stop, they screamed at me. At one point I grabbed the ball from them and they threatened to call the police.
I know a guy who married a girl who was around 18. I don't know her exact age. But a neighbor called the police on them claiming that she was underaged (according to the law), as if that mattered in his life. The policeman knocked on the door and threw him to the floor, kicking him. They then hogtied him and carried him to prison.
A person in my neighborhood called the police on an outdoor minyan during the COVID craze. These men were outside and at least six feet away from one another. One guy was in the middle of the Amidah when the police came and he kept davening. They arrested him. Nicest guy in the world.
A social worker called the police on another guy I know. Are you so and so? Yes. Smash against the wall. Knock to the floor. Handcuffs. On Shabbos. While he was in the police station a woman was brought in with handcuffs and leg shackles. I guess she was really dangerous to the big, tough policemen. They wanted this guy to sign a paper on Shabbos. He refused and the policeman took the guy's hand by force and made him sign. That's Israel.
Ten year old boy forgets to swipe his card on the bus. Two checkers get on (I have commented elsewhere that there seem to be more checkers than drivers in this police state) and finding with their little smart phone scanners that he didn't pay, start howling at him and threatening to call the police.
Guy in wheelchair is being helped on the bus in the back door of a very crowded bus. The driver didn't see him because of the throng of people that are often on the bus and started to close the door. A long-coated guy (one who should know that it's a sin to call the police on a Jew) runs up, starts howling (that's the other sport in Israel) and threatens to call the police.
I know a guy whose daughter was getting relentlessly bullied. He tried numerous times to speak to the neighbors to get their sons to stop. They refused to even come outside to look. One day when the bullying was particularly bad, he knocked on their door to talk to the father about it. The man closed to the door in his face at which time he reacting by pushing the door away (so it wouldn't smash into him) and hitting the door twice in frustration. They called the police on him. These are yeshivish people.
In all my years in America, I only heard of one Jew calling the police on another Jew. It was a crazy lady who kept claiming that her ex-husband violated his restraining order. The police used to apologize to him when they showed up at his door. In Israel, calling the police leads to a beating, shackles, interrogation, and 24 hours without being allowed to take a p..s (use the bathroom). It can also result in years of dealings with judges and lawyers as happened to another person I know for the most innocent of misunderstandings, but I can't get into that here.
This is all a way of bullying somebody, of punching them via somebody else. It's cowardly certainly. I propose that its origin is in taking the land by force against the decree of the Gemara. That led to having to or choosing to police another nation that is equal in size to your own. That turns you into a bully. There's a Midrash which says that you shouldn't speak lashon hara about gentiles because you will come to speak it about Jews. It's the same with violence and bullying.
