Ok. Lessee here, the worst-case outcome would have been the same had the police not been called. With a good chance of an improved outcome, again, had they not been called.
Yes, I know, there are good police. But you can’t tell the difference by looking.
I have a friend who is a cop. He states that between 40% and 60% are total scumbags. Thiefs, rapists, druggies, wife beaters and the kind who will beat the bejeezus out of a handcuffed person they arrrested for having two beers and driving home, just for fun.
