But seriously, if the woman had not been screwing around there would have been no killing, no ones fault but the ones involved.

The dispatcher was probably texting her boyfriend at the time.

Suspended *with* pay. Nice.

Well, there’s a new wrinkle. Turns out the police can always “get home safely” if they just respond to the wrong address.

I am speculating too why the miscommunication occurred. Did the person who called in speak in English or was it some sort of dialect like Ebonics? That may sound racist, but it does need to be discussed.

I once had a black women come into the medical lab to have some blood drawn. She had two little girls with her, and when she spoke to them, it was totally unrecognizable as English. Add that fact to the stress anyone calling 911 would be under, and it could be that miscommunication happened.
