Depending on where you live, the police might already have more than they can handle just dealing with violent criminals. Even if they’re just sitting around with nothing to do, what do they gain by helping you out with this? It’s not the 1940s anymore, the average policeman works it as a job, not a calling, so even though you’re totally in the right and that person is a criminal.. if they do nothing, nothing bad happens to them, and if they go after the guy, they could get hurt or sued. On the other hand, did you ask a lawyer? That is a person who stands to potentially gain from helping you out. I feel kind of gross typing this out, but I’ve been trying lately to more often “say the quiet part loud”.
