1. K&R He should be fired and the cops and the dispatcher should be sued. |

6. I'm pretty sure the cop and the dispatcher are the same person. |
|
That's the way the reporter told it, it's only the TYT woman and their sound guy who said they were different people. I wish they'd let the original report finish so I could have heard what the police chief had to say about the situation--and if that asshole cop was facing any repercussions for his actions.

8. I would have like to hear all the tape, too. |
|
It would have been very interesting to hear what the chief said.

2. motherfucking piece of shit! he's probably a religious fundie whose |
|
sensibilities were offended by that awful (oh my!) language.
When I had to call 911 for a really traumatic case, you fucking well better bet my language was off the hook! It wasn't directed at the operator, and they knew it, but still, I was cussing up a fucking storm because of how upset I was.
Fucking idiots!!! :grrrrr:

I know his kind. Hypocritical chauvinist pigs.

4. The only good thing I can say... |
|
...is that at least he eventually called an ambulance for the guy. Of course, he tried to cover his ass while doing so -- probably realizing all of a sudden that those calls are monitored, and that he had hung up on someone twice without ever finding out what the situation was.
He should not be doing 911 calls, and he should be suspended without pay for 3 months or so, and then demoted by at least one pay grade. That's my call.
Oh, and of course, the city should be sued and the family should get lots of money for such ill-treatment at the hands of authorities who had the power of life and death over the dad.

5. Sexist fucking assholes. |
|
They disapprove so strongly of "foul mouthed girls" that they will ignore their actual responsibilities as emergency responders to police the behavior of uppity women.

19. Do you think the problem is sexism? Or do you think the problem is laziness? |
|
I would guess #1 Laziness #2 Sexism #3 Anal retentive "sticking to the rules"

14. OMG! A 911 call answered by a Republican... |

As usual; not getting the true gist of things; trained to think not swearing is some sort of god virtue...

15. The reporter asks what were you thinking? |

Au contraire, he should have asked, "What the FUCK were you thinking?!"
