6-year old calls 911; dispatcher thinks it's a joke

Hahahaa, we're into too much of a shit hole to do that. Tons of city works just got done getting laid off not too long ago and our Mayor just had a conference the other day explaining how he had to pick between laying off even more cops or eliminating trash pick up. Besides, so many fuck heads prank around with things like 911 around here, that I actually don't blame the operator for thinking it was a joke.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Just wondering, where's the 1 in 4 statistic from kat?

I'm all for saying that the women didn't handle the situation the best way she could have. But, something tells me that due to the issues that all city workers have been facing lately, that management/the system is what's really more to blame. Especially since this incident isn't isolated. There was another incident that got popular because of this. A lady was shot in the head, lived, called 911, and the dispatcher thought she was fucking around. (Did this make nation news too?) Pretty hard to tell she wasn’t faking, considering how monotone her voice was. I bet that management gets on these people ass about it, for money/resource reasonings. While at the same time, I bet they offer little to no help, training, or assistance.

There's nowhere I can't reach.
