isn't that part of the duty of the cops when they come to the aide


This supposes that they are nearby and not 5+ minutes away working a traffic stop or wreck and that's if its inside the city limits. It gets even worse if its one of the places in the county with city limits on three sides and the county line is the fourth.

they arrive to a scene . . . bagged and tagged and handcuffed


Showing up what sounds like more than a couple minutes after the shooting where people are obviously rendering aid to the victim would seem to require a bit more investigation.

Yes in the work place. Unless the guy was working the hootowl shift, he has a good case for arguing that he was not at work since he also lives there and it was 2am.

they were ticked that he didn't inform them properly in due course of the incident


Like they were going to accomplish what at 2am? confused I'll agree that he should have notified them when they first got in the next morning & they shouldn't have had to call him to the office.
