How are the cops, or anybody, supposed to ascertain that a 911 call is bogus?
They don’t know who made the call and, are the cops supposed to really go away upon somebody answering the door saying that it was a mistake?
That’s a good way for a murderer to throw off the police, by answering the door and saying that it was all a mistake, so the cops can go away now.
The officer escaped without a scratch.
Two Pit Bulls lunging and trying to bite a person and neither one of them put a mark on him?
That’s a miracle. This oficer was certainly a lucky man.
Story says it was a 911 hang up call. That would mean the 911 operator could call back to see what happened. But if the dog made the call, the phone would have to be off the hook to dial and how how could a dog hang up the phone, anyway?
The 911 operators can see the phone number where the call is made. I've had them call back on "hang-up" calls, for example, when I was working at a 7-11 and someone used an outdoor payphone to call 911 and immediately hung up.
Didn't the operator try calling back in this case?
911 operator: "What is the nature of the emergency?"
Caller: "Woof. Woof. Woof. Woof-Woof"
