When I was a call center QA, I audited several people like this. Management played favorites, so they almost never got punished. And every time, I thanked God that they were only responsible for the callers’ phone bills, and not anything more serious!

When I grew up, there was no 911. Instead we all had the phone number of our local PDs. Sounds like this is a good reason to return to those days. Try 911, but be sure to have back-up phone numbers at the ready.

Poor Crenshanda, her civil rights have been violated.

While we can probably safely assume she’s also been fired, a real reporter would have divulged to us her current job status.

Don’t worry. Starbucks will hire her. That’s after they send her to college, though, and maybe buy her a house.

Crenshanda, I hope the person that hired you and the person who didn’t fire you immediately follow you out the door.

10 days jail time. Oh well, in today’s world, that’s not too bad for a female African American. A white male would have got ten years.

If the worst example they could come up with is a highway speeding complaint, she was probably hanging up on those who shouldn’t have been tying up 911 lines. She should have transferred them to a non-emergency line if she had that capability.

The calls included one where a caller tried to report a violent robbery, and another where a caller dialed 911 concerned about two drivers racing in an area on Interstate 45 where people had been killed speeding just weeks earlier.

Harris County prosecutors said the county had an obligation to hold public servants criminally accountable when they break the law and the community’s trust.

“The citizens of Harris County rely on 911 operators to dispatch help in their time of need,” said Lauren Reeder, a Harris County prosecutor.

How about hanging up on a murder in process?

Is that also something that "shouldn't be tying up 911 lines"?

How about spouse passed out from a blood clot? Does that meet your standard?

Because those were just two of the ones she hung up on.

No, we cannot safely assume she has been fired. Not today.

This one has a chip on her shoulder the size of an Oldsmobile. Hard to believe their hire people like this just because they're black.

Race of professional victims. Black female will just get a pat on the hand. She’ll get another job easily by the guilt ridden liberal whites.

“...44-year-old Crenshanda...’

I had no idea that stupid made-up names were invented that long ago. I mean, for people. Cars and stuff, sure.
