Dear police: you cannot check the welfare of someone by shooting them with your gun. Thanks, ACAB.

Actually you can... It's just that the welfare check will result with "dead".

Schrodinger could have shot the box a bunch & figured out the cat's welfare...

Reminds me of that joke about the hunters in the woods.

"911, what's your emergency?"

Help, my friend got bit by a snake and I think he's dead!

"Keep calm, and make sure if he's actually dead."

BLAM

Okay, he's definitely dead
