7. Life isn't fair
Having said that, the police had an obligation to make sure that you weren't about to harm yourself.

They were doing their jobs.


If the woman who "harassed" you, or someone else, called the police to report what looked like a very disturbed person, then the police would be derelict in their duties not to respond and ensure your safety.

I'm sorry you don't see it that way.

Instead of being annoyed about not being able to act terribly disturbed in public without being "harassed", you should be grateful that someone cared enough to stop and make sure you were alright.


May you never feel the pain of knowing someone who acted the same way you did, and nobody stopped the person and the person went on to do something awful to him/her self. People in this country bitch and complain that nobody cares, but then when someone does care enough to stop, even that's something to complain about.

Damned if they don't, damned if they do.
