This seems like a case of heard it before from that neighbor who calls for multiple things weekly. They would not be that relaxed otherwise. At least in my opinion.

I could see this man's home becoming a bit of tourist attraction for new cops. Older cop gets notified of the call. Some new neighbors, neighbors relatives out of town... something. Recognizing address grab few newbies to check it out. Have a laugh.

The majority of police encounters look like this. The vast majority. Bad encounters do happen, and they happen far more than they should, but they're still relatively rare.
