Drove past my daughter's school on the way home from Costco... Saw an older women being accosted by a pit bull mix....
Threw the car into reverse... The woman got out of there... I called the cops and then proceeded to warn 3 more groups of parents with children to turn around...
After 5 minutes (you can drive around the entire city in 5 minutes) I call back and the Fresno county dispatcher (they are notorious for being idiots) asks me whose dog it is... I say I don't know, it's running around a travel trailer... She interrupts, "sir, you just have to say yes or no"...
And so, I lost my sh*t.... She didn't ask me a yes or no question... She ignored me when I did answer her, and when I attempted to provide her with pertinent info, she interrupted... She got huffy and tried politely hanging up on me but I beat her to it...
Dude who owned the dog showed up before the cops... I fairly calmly let him know what his dog had been doing and that the cops would be there in a minute and he needed to hang around to talk to them...
And I think he did... Which was really smart... Cops in this town will generally just talk to you if you talk to them... If you try to get away from them, it's a small, boring town and they like a little excitement...
