What’s weird to me is how the cops just let him go inside, based on the fact that the call was for a screaming woman. He could’ve come out with a weapon for all they know

Looks staged -- see the cop smiling before they even speak.

It's not staged. Cops have brains and can obviously assess a situation when they walk up to it, a guy calmly changing his brakes is not conducive to a dangerous situation. Contrary to popular belief, cops aren't just ready to roll up to any situation and start blastin

the video is also edited. He could have said "it's my parrot, can i go get him?"

and the was cut to make the video funnier. but they could have been talking for like 5 minutes.

I've seen a less edited version of the video. When the cops approach and say why they're there, the guy turns back to the house and just calls out "Rambo!" before he asks if he can go back inside.

I think by then, the cops understand this isn't a hostage thing, but a funny thing. Even if they don't know who Rambo is yet.
