So if you were in a position to help someone would you? If you a saw crime committed would you do anything to stop it, or even call the police? Isn't it the right thing to do?

I have a friend and a few months back he was driving on the freeway and saw the cops flashing lights coming up behind him. He quickly exited the freeway and turned a corner and slid into a gas station. he managed to jump out of his car and make it almost to the door when the cops made the corner. Everyone standing outside of the station noticed his behaviour and pointed to him, one guy even blocked the door. The cops took off down the road and it turned out they were not pulling him over at all. He was pissed that people were pointing him out when they did were not involved. Why was he trying to avoid cops? He has traffic warrents that he has not paid yet and he was driving on a suspended licesence. I personally was proud of the citizens that were looking out for their community. So what if his crimes are petty,  it is our jobs to look out for each other and for all anyone knows he was running because he had committed a major crime

My neighbor hood had a problem when a rival gang moved in and started tagging the fences threatening our local residents. It only lasted about two months. Everyone started keeping theirs eyes open for suspect behaviour and when someone was out of place either chased them off or called the cops.

My point is doing nothing helps no one. If you see someone getting attacked run to their aid or call the police. Don't be apathtic to the cry for help. I think most people would do the right thing but to those who walk away i say would you not want help when you need it. Do the right thing.
