I don't really think someone you don't know attempting to break into your
home is domestic. Someone could get killed during something like that, but
then that's just me. I don't have much respect for the law enforcement, at
least in this area, so nothing they do or don't do surprises me anymore.
Take care.

It's actually not all that uncommon in large cities for officers not to be
sent to what is deemed a domestic situation. It's a dirty little secret.
