re: At what point do you call 911? When is it frivolous to call 911?

All the sudden we start hearing screaming and shite that this dude had passed out and was choking. We see this dude on the ground who ain’t looking well and looks unconscious.

You did absolutely the right thing in calling 911. However, it's not necessary for everyone in the bar with a cell phone to call 911 (not saying that happened in your case but in general).

It's better to call 911 if your not sure than to not call. However, there are things to consider. Make sure you know where you are. 911 can't track cell phones. They can get within a certain general area sometimes, but be able to tell them where you are. Listen to what they tell you and follow their instructions. Don't keep yelling "Just send somebody!" They already have- the 911 operator isn't the one coming, but they still have questions to ask and instructions to give.
