I’ll say this...if the event had occurred in Little Rock or Nashville....cops would have approached with pistols drawn and asked Paul to step out of the house, and this hammer-dude probably would have been given one chance to get on the floor.
Your description is spot-on correct. That is how the book says it should be done.
Yep- makes you think it was a ‘delicate’ situation, considering the SoS’s husband was involved.
If would have happened in Nashville or Little Rock the cops would still “be on their way” and the “tryst” long over.
Years ago my alarm system went off twice in an hour in Atlanta well after midnight. I don’t remember why the alarm company dispatched the second
The officer basically came assuming we were in trouble. When my wife and I answered the door, his first instinct was that she was in trouble.
Hand on gun, he asked her to lift her sleeves so he could see her bare arms. I assume he was checking for bruises.
He decided we were both sincere and suggested we leave the alarm off for the night.
But - he was ready to draw on me if she showed any signs of distress or I moved an inch.
Whoa... excellent point!
I decry their lack of tolerance toward the hammer play community.

If it had happened in San Franciso, the cops would have shown up 6 hours after the call.
Well, that's if a "regular citizen" called 911.
