It should be obvious, but just report criminal activity. And, in the first instance, to MPD, not Reddit. I’m not talking about someone smoking weed where they’re not supposed to or rolling through a stop sign.

I work in a federal building. Last year, I saw one kid hand a gun off to another right outside. I asked our guards to call the police; they wouldn’t since, I guess, right outside isn’t their job. Another employee standing outside suggested not bothering because “they’re all the way down the block by now” and “not hurting anyone.”

So I called, police showed up in about two minutes (I guess because a gun was involved) and they were arrested. This was downtown and I don’t think they were planning to use that gun to knock over soda cans.

It might not be your problem today, but it will be some other poor person’s (and it might be your problem tomorrow).
