Yeah, unfortunately the best solution would be for people to stop acting like jerks. That's not going to happen anytime soon.
In the kind of situation you're describing, with someone in immediate danger, I'd consider it totally reasonable to call the cops. I'd be at least as likely to intervene directly and likely end up getting beaten up at best--not that I'm recommending that approach, mind. :)
