Oh boy! I just called the cops on my neighbors. [View all]

I was watching a basketball game, and I thought I was hearing something else. I cut the volume down and then I knew I was hearing something that didn't sound good.

I wasn't sure so I went to the laundry room which has a wall adjoining their apartment. I could hear yelling, screaming and thuds. It didn't sound like somebody was playing. I went out to their front door and I could really hear whatever was happening.

I dialed 911 and told them what I knew. There is a 5th grader and an 8th grader who live there with their parents. I believe there is an older sister too. I told 911 that the scream sounded like a young person but that I didn't know who was actually in there. I hadn't heard a gun but I can't hear a knife.

The cops showed up after it seemed to have calmed down. They didn't open the door until the cop knocked three times. The man who they talked to said he just got there which is a lie because I was looking through my peephole. He might have come from behind the apartments though.

The man and a woman assured they had everything under control. It was some kind of problem with one of the kids. I don't know if the cop asked to see the kids, but gawd I hope he did.

When the cop was talking to them, he said that several neighbors called so I don't think it will come back on me. If it does, I'll handle it. I don't play when it comes to kids. At least they know people will call the cops.

I need a drink. This shite upsets me.
