The Smoking Gun

An amusing website that scours public crime records for odd or dramatic crimes. This one was forwarded to us along with a comment wondering if this would be more appropriately handled by social workers rather than the police:

  • Domestic disputes that require police intervention are never a laughing matter.

    Unless, of course, two siblings are threatening to kill each other over “who ate the last sticky bun.”

    Police responded Monday afternoon to a Williamsport, Pennsylvania residence to handle “a domestic in progress, no weapons, no intoxication,” according to dispatch audio.

    Officers were told the confrontation “is between siblings over who ate the last sticky bun. Now they’re threatening to kill each other.”

(Keesing Bandit warning)

Homemade sticky buns are awesome. Our grandmothers and great grandmothers had recipes that have (unfortunately) been lost to history with their passing. The sticky buns in question for this case appear to be mass produced items.

But the question posed by our emailer is legit - no weapons, no intoxication. Are police even needed for verbal threats that aren't going to be prosecuted?

Well, yeah. How else are you going to win the ghetto lottery without causing police to take action over your silly bullshit.

Maybe someone wants to sign complaints?

I used to tell these bs domestic accusers to go to domestic court and get a warrant with their bs story if they are so serious about getting someone arrested.

Maybe if one of the involved parties was arrested the Keesing Bandit and can be called in to testify as an expert witness on the deliciousness of sticky buns.

Are the police needed?! At my suburban department, we write reports for every verbal Domestic, “just in case”. I love it, gathering everyone’s information because the father and daughter were having a legal verbal argument.

Send in a marriage counselor or a family counselor.
Then figure out how much they cost: per hour, medical, pension, furloughs, cars, liability…
The figure out if a Cop is cheaper.
There’s your answer

Would that include unpaid and possibly uncollectable pension payments?

Are cross-complaints still in use? If so, locking up both idiots negates a return for round 2.

Many of those so-called counselors are young liberal females fresh out of college who want nothing more than to break up good families.

(Yes, some but not all, do need to be broken up)

Send in these EAP fools. They can arrive on scene of a domestic in Englewood and discuss breathing techniques and going for a walk every day or even meditation.
Went to them once years ago when I was struggling with the bottle. Bunch of psychobabble about going for a daily walk and breathing in through the nose and out through the mouth. Thank goodness for micro dosing shrooms and knowledgeable resourceful friends.

I remember my partner and myself got a job that the 10 yo wouldn't leave the TV off. I pulled the cord out of the back and said, "There ya go, no TV."

Early 70's, 015, we responded to a "man down in the apartment" along with the beat car. Man sitting at the table, brother lying on the floor with a knife in his chest. I asked, what happened, response: "it was my wing". I looked into the pot on the stove and there was a chicken leg. I said there was a leg in the pot, and the response was the same: "but it was my wing". Thus, it ended with one brother dead and one in prison. Actually, not surprising, even to the brother.

That would end up in a homicide - "He disrespected me bro.."
