  • I'm sorry, Dave. I'm afraid I can't do that.
The hapless crook must be from NYC or something and thought the police would arrest the victim.

Politicians and bureaucrats are considered productive if they swarm the populace like a plague of locust, devouring all substance in their path and leaving a swath of destruction like a firestorm. The technical term is "bipartisanship".

Well some of the comments are interesting.

My first thought was that this was in England and that the home owner was arrested.

Accompanied by two German shepherds, the homeowner asked Chapek what he was doing in the house.
The homeowner found him taking a shower and had two shepherds.  Why was he worrying about a gun?

I gotta check this one with my lawyer; if I shoot a burglar while he's calling 911, does the TX PC Section 9 affirmative defense to use of deadly force to stop a burglary also protect me from a charge of interfering with an emergency call?   ???

Well, at least it appears the right people got a painful lesson.  They have another chance also though I suspect it isn't the first or second.
