What gets me is that they bitched at the gallery staff for the art.

If you think a gallery should consider making different display choices, I'm pretty sure the staff is someone you might reasonably choose to talk to.

Cops don't get to curate art

They do if it leads to unnecessary 911 calls and use of emergency services.

I agree to an extent.

Doesn't there have to be a limit somewhere.

Like if there was a publicly displayed art exhibition that looked so realistic and depicted a situation requiring police intervention?

If this becomes a common issue then there should at least be a process where police and emergency responders are notified of such an exhibit.

Maybe I'm just not thinking about it through the right lense, but this isn't a case of police saying what can be done in a gallery.

The argument is that this is a waste of resources and could lead to actual crimes in this area not being taken seriously, right?

Yes, but there is no need for lecturing about it. Which is what the article says happened. If that is the case, that was inappropriate. Making a comment that it would be best if changed is one thing, lecturing is uncalled for.

If you have someone who looks passed out on display then I think a lecture seems pretty fitting? You mucked up.
