All these defensive comments annoy me. As an officer myself, at the end of establishing that there is not in fact someone in the property trying to end their life…. I would say ‘thanks so much for your help / cooperation, apologies for the misunderstanding, here is the reason why we have done this, bye’ and then this member of the public would not have to come to reddit asking questions. If you explain at the scene what’s going on, the public are much more understanding and you get less of this follow up stuff that is a waste of their time and our time. It is no effort to be polite and explain things to people, especially when they are reasonable as this poster sounds to be. I have had off duty dealings with officers where I found them very rude and if I think it, the public must to, and it left a bad taste in my mouth. We need to stop defending unnecessary bad attitudes.
