"She asks the policemen precisely what she needs to do to prove she hasn’t just been murdered. Holding out her arm, she sighs as they take her blood pressure."
What? Seriously? I mean, yes cops are incredibly stupid, but they're not this stupid. I don't believe this happened. And if it did, the cop should be fired. Can someone really be that stupid to think that someone who is standing up in front of them is not alive? I call bullshit. Even a cop cannot be that stupid.
EDIT: Why not just ask for ID, since now all the cop's proven is that someone is alive, not who that person is. Ridiculous.

- rwhitman 11y agoWhen you call 911 the police usually show up followed by paramedics / fire dept or vice versa. Depending on the city this is standard practice. The medics typically take blood pressure before leaving, not sure why but assuming this is a policy about confirming everyone is ok before they leave. The writer likely simplified the scene by omitting the fact that EMTs arrived with the police.
