Last time I called them, it was because I got home late and my backdoor window was shattered. I had recently broke up with an unstable person, so I phoned the cops the next day just to make a report.
They called my ex, who initially denied it at first and tried to say I was a meth dealer or something. Eventually, the cop said she admitted doing it and asked if I wanted to press charges. I declined.
I reconnected with her years later in 2021 during the pandemic. It did not end well yet again, but at least no one got hurt and no property was destroyed this time around.
Oof, I think domestic disputes is the worst thing to involve law enforcement.
Like, a burglar is much a simpler situation. One is homeowner, one is not. But domestic dispute is just a random stranger in a position of power (that's essentially what a cop is) of judging who is, in their opinion, the worse partner. Basically a 50%/50% roll of dice of getting yourself arrested, or shot.
