I'm going to call the non-emergency number on a panhandler.
Why do you want to call the non-emergency number on a panhandler?
II feel sorry for him and want him to get help.
It is wrong to call the police in a non emergency situation. You can ruin their life even more by calling and having the police harass a poor person.
I shouldn't ignore someone who is in need of help. Maybe it's a cry for help.
Maybe, but if you really want to help them, calling the cops is the last thing you should do.
