In light of your changes, my neighbor will not call the police the next time he sees me outside my apartment with a locksmith. Even if he does, at least the police the will respond more moderately and transparently.&quot;<p>I&#x27;m not trying to be inflammatory. I&#x27;m trying to illustrate that your suggestion does not address her concerns about police transparency and overreaction. Try not to dig your heels in. Consider that in this case you may have focused on the wrong thing.
