    Wow. American police really are just an execution and cleanup crew. Just have a chat and compliment someone who is accused of being a danger on their weapons, ignore the victim begging them to stay and help, and then blame the victim and lie.

        Sure although someone was supposed to call in the cleanup crew and as police do determine when a crime scene stops being their topic, maybe they should be informing everyone about that or at least help with communicating that transition. It’s not like we’re comparing communication as the same as cleaning it up.

      My friend’s neighbor shot himself in the bathroom of the house he was renting. After the police left, my friend and the landlord that owned the two properties had to clean his brains off of the bathroom walls and mop up a puddle of blood. My friend got a free month rent for helping the landlord.

      This is America.

        … Only a free month? After cleaning up brains? I hope there was also some pay for therapy.

          Over a thousand dollars to wipe up a biohazard ain’t bad. Also gives them a month to find a new roommate without having to worry about covering his share of the rent.
