Summary

My husbands mother called police in south boston, c-6, to come pick my husband up on a warrant. They came and arrested him, and let him go a half hour later. I called the police station, on West Broadway, to ask why they let him go when he had a warrant. The officer was so rude to me, it was disgusting. He was completely blowing me off, and wasn't even attempted to help me. He then put me on hold for what seemed like forever (maybe 3 to 5 minutes) and i heard somebody pick up the phone and hang it up! I called right back, confirmed it was the same officer i just spoke with, and he told me that he CAN give me the information that I'm asking for, but he's just not going to.His exact words were, "There is a way for me to look that up, but I'm not going to do it for YOU, over the phone." I asked why, and he gave me no reason. Then, he rushed me off the phone. My husbands mother called right after, and got the same officer. He treated her the same way, and then told her, "He's probably getting fingerprinted." and hung up on her. He was already out - definitely not getting fingerprinted. My husband is living on the street, and addicted to heroin. One of these days he is probably going to end up dead, but if I can do anything to make sure that doesn't happen, i will. That officer did not try to help me at all. I understand there could be other people with more serious emergencies going on, but every phone call and concern should be taken seriously! Especially with everything thats going on with the police vs the public! Here I am, rooting for the police, praying the madness stops, and this is how i get treated when I'm asking for help?! Not to mention that somehow my husband keeps getting let out to be free on the street, when he does not comply with anything the judges or probation officers ask him to do, and at least 3 or 4 different times, they just keep letting him go, and because of this, he is going to put himself in a grave. He needs help that he will not get on his own, and BPD cant even help him by keeping him in jail, or a locked facility for treatment?
