Dial 911 and Die

Over 40 years ago, Jeff Cooper coined the word “hoplophobe,” meaning a “mental disturbance characterized by irrational aversion to weapons.” I’d like to coin a new word, pertaining to the irrational dependence on protection orders, restraining orders, and the 911 emergency system. There needs to be such a word for people who think that a court order is going to stop someone who is bound and determined to kill them, or that all they have to do is call 911, because the people there will always protect you. Not.
