I responded to a domestic dispute; a husband and wife were arguing with each other. They had both called 911. Upon arrival I
note in the driveway not one, not two, but three crappy boats tarped over. That’s a sign this couple does not have their shit
together. Turns out he is a professional mental health counselor. And she is, uh, also a professional mental health counselor.
They are not getting along. They need…counseling. Because they triggered each other when he suggested she might be on the
autism spectrum and she, getting all super indignant that he is suggesting a diagnosis, threatened to report his ass to the
American Psychological Association! For making an unqualified diagnosis! The other officer suggested they go find a marriage
counselor. I suggested they go find a divorce lawyer.

A woman called 911 and wanted to talk to a police officer. My partner called her back and I listened in on the speakerphone in
the office. She wanted to report a man in her church congregation was supposedly a registered sex offender in another state but
maybe not in this state and it was not cool at all that he was in church now, where kids were present. My partner, slightly
flummoxed, pointed out to her that if the church leadership was okay with him being there, then they could do that. This made
the woman quite upset that the police were clearly not going to help her. She then hung up.

Me, on patrol. Day shift. It’s snowing heavily, and it caught a lot of motorists off guard, including a gasoline tanker truck with a
double trailer. The driver got stuck on the highway because there was just enough of a slight uphill grade, combined with new
snow, for him to lose all forward traction. To make it extra interesting, everytime he tried to get going, the spinning wheels
moved the trailers just enough for them to start sliding sideways a few feet. Myself and the other officer on duty realized that
he was going to have to stay there until the snow plows and sanders could show up, which they did after a couple of hours.
