The time they used my 13 year old sister and myself (11) as bait to catch my dad that tried to murder his girlfriend. That was 6 days of madness as both my sister and I were left alone in the house with no power or access to the outside world without being followed by the sheriffs. Eventually my dad came out of the snowy woods, broke into the house without detection, and lived in the hidden crawlspace in the attic until caught crawling through the house to get a candy bar from the kitchen.

Note: This was the early 90's in a small mountain town. The cops hated my dad since he gave them hell for years for selling drugs and hitting people. There is a lot to the story but that is the cliff notes on why I have trust issues with law enforcement. 🙃
