is why the cops didn't shut this shit DOWN. Any other dept. I can think of would have done so pronto and many would have charged HIM with being a nuisance and a vexatious caller. Why they didn't do that and why they didn't consider his history before letting him go and GIVING HIM BACK THE MURDER WEAPON is simply beyond my understanding.
