Seriously, make sure you go over and knock on the door first or make multiple attempts to contact them first. These are actually dangerous calls for police, they have no clue what they are walking into, too many times it is a dead body or a person out of control. The scenario the neighbor gave could have easily had a rapist or murderer still in the house.
She was probably armed and knew there was some guy snooping around outside. I often defend cops but this is ridiculous. She has every right to be armed in her own home without getting shot. Makes you think twice if you arm yourself while someone is snooping around outside your windows in the dark. He panicked. Cops have a tough job but he needs to pay for this.

Actually.. if a gun is pointed at you you should comply no matter who the person is.. for your own sake.
Why? So they can do whatever they want to you with no resistance? If I'm going to be killed anyway then it's better to go out fighting.
