I called 911 when I found my ex after a suicide attempt.

One of the cops that responded tried to blame me.

Not sure why you're being downvoted. Your experience isn't unique, sadly.

The closest I've ever been to being arrested was when I had to call the cops because I got robbed while at work.

They had footage of another person entering the store and then sprinting out, but the 17 year old nerdy kid was a much easier target.

Never again.
