Smart lady! Would the idiot 911 operator be willing to take responsibility if the old lady had been killed by the burglar?!

What did this 911 operator think putting the gun down was going to accomplish?

911 operator: minimum wage, minority, could care less about some old w**** woman??
My, I sound cynical.
To: Oberon
What did this 911 operator think putting the gun down was going to accomplish? It would keep any Trayvons in the vicinity safe from harm.

The British have had a lot of experience with this type of law enforcement advice. If you are being mugged or robbed, don’t resist, give the thug what he wants, then call the police later. Its a view of the population as passive sheep who not only need to be taken care of, but should be discouraged from taking care of themselves.

Didn't want the burglars to get hurt, or the poor woman to shoot herself. Or something like that.
Guns are BAD, dontcha know.

Wouldn’t want to be a danger to murderers and rapists, would we?

Who was the dispatcher, and does this dispatcher still have a job? (And, if so, why?!)

It was so the police would feel safe.
Wait a minute - when I was a kid it was the job of the police to make the PUBLIC feel safe.
When did that turn around?

Women her age are raped and murdered by feral Obama voters. Only a moron (an Obama voter) would tell her to put down her only means of protection when an intruder is in her home.

Maybe the 911 operator gets a kick back from a fencing operation.

Dispatcher was worried it was her brother or just another brother on the other side of the door. The h-ll with the victim.
To: BitWielder1
Guns are BAD, dontcha know. Yeah. Got it.
One would then like to ask the operator why she was sending in cops with guns.

You fight back and you’ll be the one arrested for assault.
