Strange happenings last night.

Not trying to hurt feelings here.

I just remember my friend who was a city prosecutor (presumably a knowledgeable person about what happens on the other side of police encounters) state flatly that he would never call a police officer to his home for any reason ever. Since this is on topic with people bashing the OP about not calling the cops meaning he is the douchebag here I'm going to have to push back.

OP - good on you for not calling the cops. Sorry to the vast majority of cops out there who are helping out and acting with honor and integrity for the fact that people feel that way, including myself.

I think you've read into some of the responses, here.

The OP asked for comments. Clearly, we're all armchair quarterbacking and we weren't in that situation. Nobody suggested Sideshow Bob was a douchebag- this isn't an either/or scenario where everyone is saying, "You're wrong!" because they would have done something differently; people are explaining why they would have called the cops or not called the cops.

Your response appears to imply anyone that would have called the cops in a situation where there was gunfire in a residential neighborhood are somehow less capable than those that would never call them, kind of suggesting that people don't care about police officers. Was that your intent?

I'm just not quite clear on your meaning. I'm not trying to nitpick or start a fight- I'm just trying to understand.
