They aren't so great about wellness checks - I once saw two homeless guys in an all out brawl, blood was drawn, cars dodging them as they fought on the sidewalk and in the street...  I called the homeless hotline and told them what was going on, they were like "and what would you like us to do about it" - I was pretty damn frustrated after constantly hearing "don't call police on them" so I told the hotline operator "I only called to give you a heads up so that if you actually care, you'd send someone to try and intervene, because if nobody does in the next 5 minutes, my next call will be police."  I ended up calling police.  Fck it.[/quote]
