Do not call Police unless it is unavoidable. They seldom make the situation better.

Some of them are extremely skilled at filling an 8-hour shift with a grand total of 2 written reports. A bit of overtime never hurts either.

Ever wonder why the squad cars sit on the side of the road forever with lights flashing just to issue a preprinted ticket? Slow penmanship, intentionally or otherwise, just to tick boxes.

Amen.

My downstairs tenant got pranked by his wife. She called the police and said he was missing.

They broke the screen on his window, stumbled in, knocked things over, saw he wasn’t there, and said something along the lines of

“who gives a @#$@#$ if he’s dead, he’s not here”

great.

You are both absolutely correct.
See my posting history...I came within 1-2 seconds of getting myself shot simply as an innocent bystander reporting a minor fenderbender right in downtown.
All thanks to an extremely aggressive officer packed to the gills with anabolic steroids.
Police must make true community policing an essential component of their jobs.
Now that they have become successful at alienating law-abiding WASPs, it indicates they have sunk to a new low.
