Why call the police?  It's not against any law for an employee to be at his 
appointed place at his appointed time and to continuously play a record. 911 
is for emergencies only.  It was hardly an emergency.  No one's life or 
property was in peril.

It happened on the last day of the country format so no religious propaganda 
programming was affected.
