I'd give statements and they'd put in unpaid overtime filling out reports...

The police... they try their best, but they can't even take posession of him until they've collected statements and are prepared to make an arrest on specific charges. Meanwhile my neighbour and I are trying to keep him pinned as he regains consciousness without doing anything that might get us arrested too, like breaking his goddamn legs, while the cops just stand there and watch with utility belts full of handcuffs and zip ties.

Once they finally get their act together he's arrested, checked out by a paramedic, driven to the hospital, then spends a few hours in a cell before being released on $500 bail. The arresting officer literally spent more time on what was supposed to be her day off collecting evidence and writing reports than he did behind bars. I'm just glad he didn't have the balls to come back armed and stealthy, like he could have in the first place.
