On Saturday evening when I called the police about the public urination, several of the kids exclaimed, "You called the police?! When are the coming? I'm getting out of here!" The message they were giving is that police are bad news; I'd heard this before from the same kids. I assured them that the police weren't going to question them, they could stay on the porch, and they didn't have to talk or be any where near the police.
When the officer came, I went to the sidewalk...right behind me were three of our boys - enthusiastically giving descriptions of the offender and incident! On the porch again, one commented, "That wasn't bad".
