"There was someone down the street from my spouse and me just the other day who was exhibiting some troubling behavior. It was the way they were fidgeting, wildly flailing their arms about. I think they were going through withdrawal from substance abuse. I decided to change direction, keeping my eye on the situation from afar. I alerted an officer around the corner, and just as I was bringing the matter to their attention, they troubling person attack another couple walking by. The officer quickly intervened, and called an ambulance for the suspect, getting them the help they needed."
