A Series of Unfortunate Events

Hey all, it's been a wet last few days in the city.

Sunday it was good to get back on the streets after a little vacation. My athletic shoe store that got robbed a few months back called 911 to say they had a weird teen in the store. The teen apparently was under the influence of lean (codeine, sprite, and sometimes alcohol) and was acting like he might rob the store. They asked him to leave but he brought back a group of about 10-15 teens and they just hung at the front entrance. They locked the doors and waited for me to get there to clear them out. It didn't take much. I arrived, put the blue lights on, and just posted up. They didn't want any attention and started to wander off.

Yesterday, my first call of the day was a domestic dispute. This lady and her sister were transplants from Hurricane Katrina to my city. She can't afford an apartment but her sister gets Section 8. Her sister started to date a guy who recently beat a charge for shooting a guy 8 times. and is a known drug dealer. She started to ignore him for about 2 weeks and he clearly didn't like that. He blew up her phone all day as she slept in. She awoke to all the messages asking him to leave her alone. He replied he was on his way to beat her up, calling her a "dirty bitch".

He arrived at the apartment and both sisters met him at the door telling him to leave. He pushed past the partially open door and punched the sister he wasn't dating. He then, with the help of his buddy, wrestled the girlfriend to the floor and began kicking her repeatedly before they took off. He's a dangerous guy and has multiple warrants from a neighboring state with extradition. The older sister (the one not dating the guy), is trying to find everyone a place to live because she has kids but she's afraid of finding a shelter because she was sexually abused in one post-Katrina. She's also afraid her baby daddy will find out because one of her baby-daddies is an NFL player who would take the kid away in a heartbeat if he knew his kid was in danger. It's a shame because the older sister is trying her best but the little sister is making all the bad decisions.
