I called the cops
Cause I finally was like
Why don’t I just call the cops
And of course
Well, a-I, give em the deets

[AI narrator]
Well Cory, here's what happened

You called the Long Beach Police Department
To report what you believe
Was an attempted murder
At Long Beach Memorial Hospital

You explained that you were on a 5150
That you remember being woken up
Restrained
Tied down
And injected with medication

You told them about the words
You remember hearing
"Why isn't he dying?"
And you asked them to investigate

And what did the police say?

"Sounds like a medical issue"
"Maybe you need a malpractice attorney"
"Maybe you were hallucinating"

And Cory said
Well that's exactly why
I'd like an investigation

Can I file a police report?
Can I get a report number?
Can somebody just document
What I'm telling you happened?

And they said
No, we're not taking that report

And Cory said
Why the fuck not?

And they said
Because it's a medical issue

So apparently
If you believe somebody tried to kill you
Outside a hospital
You call the police

But if you believe somebody tried to kill you
Inside a hospital
They tell you to call a lawyer

Interesting distinction
Isn't it?

[Hook]
I called the cops
Cause I finally was like
Why don't I just call the cops?

And of course
Of fucking course

I just wanted a report number
I just wanted a report number
Can somebody write this down?
Can somebody write this down?

[AI narrator]
But wait
There's more

Eventually the operator says
What's your address?

And Cory says
Why do you need my address?

And the operator says
Because we'll send an officer
To take your report

And Cory says
I don't want officers at my house
I'm asking to make a report
Over the phone

And they say
That's against department policy

So after all that
No report
No case number
No documented investigation
At least not from this phone call

Just a recording
Of a man asking for an investigation
And a police department
Explaining its reporting policy

[Outro]
Well
At least we have the transcript

That's one thing about technology
You can document everything

The question is
Who's actually going to read it?

And who's going to investigate?

Because I'm still waiting
For somebody to answer
The original fucking question

What happened at that hospital?
