Call 911 And Die (locally)

911 Operator Says Kidnap Victim Was Wasting His Time

Be sure to watch the video on the article page linked above.

quote:
A 911 operator is under investigation after he took a call about a kidnapped woman and more than once the operator lectured the victim, saying she was wasting his time...

...However, police didn't get on the case until a half hour after the 911 call and the victim ended up dead. Police found the woman four hours later. Officers said they found the woman dead as well as her kidnapper.


Here is a quote from my earlier commentary found here:

I agree that there are variables from county to county and state to state in regards to the level of law enforcement efficiency in an area. There are also variables between 911 operators, their call systems, and their personal level of competence/incompetence to put it together and forward it to the correct responders, as evidenced by this incident that occurred in Plantation Florida. You can hear the 911 call here and read the transcript of the call here.

Gun Shy also stated this in the earlier commentary:

If someone is trying to kick in your front door, Gun Shy believes that you should call 911, after you have you readied your weapon(s) for the perpetrators eventual entry into your dwelling. Make sure that you inform the 911 operator that you are armed, so that information can be passed on to the officers who will eventually arrive on the scene because their job is dangerous enough without receiving friendly fire.
