One business owner talks about confronting two intruders on his property, cutting up steel and trying to steal his "stuff" out of a yard. This happened last night. He says he "kicked the guy's" behind, because he ended up in a wrestling match with the intruders. He says he has a right to bear arms and confront people on his property, but he is tired of getting ripped off. (This business owner did eventually call 911 and file a report).

SPD response: a burglary in progress is "nirvana" for cops because they want to come and help people - so call in and report it to 911 on the spot. It's important to call in and let police come out and do their job. If a burglar gets run off someone's property, the burglar is likely to go somewhere else and break in again.

Mayor Verner: what I'm hearing is that people don't report incidents because they don't think anything is going to happen? (correct, business owners say) Verner explains that she gets "Aim Reports" from the SPD that show what the police department is focusing on. "We need a feedback loop, we need to find a way to get that information back to the community, so people don't think their reports go into a black hole."
