I mean that less-busy-than-others guy was standing by his car talking to a radio, ABLE to write something - there were five of them around. he can get in trouble for that because what if there was a fire, would they let me write who's in there? or anything they need to know. when I gave up, walked to next cop who was interviewing a woman - he then realized I live there! passed me the card, pointed my car, "go." he just didn't put in much of effort for people like us.
I understand you were upset but I had to respond to this. If it was urgent enough for the police to have had out their firearms, then they certainly wouldn't have had time to write down anything. And it wasn't because they were rude or lazy, it was because of the urgency of the situation. The officer talking on the radio could have been relaying suspect information, etc. Sounds like it might have been something like a robbery or a home invasion. Getting info quickly on crimes like that is very important. The more time that goes by, the more the chances the suspect won't be caught.

I'm glad all your animals are safe. I know it must have been upsetting.
