On March 16, Teri Bice awoke to the sound of someone trying to break down the door of her home in New Orleans.
She did what most Americans would do: dial 911. One big problem, There was no answer at the other end. From wwltv.com:
She documented her calls for help: two to 911; two to the NOPD's non-emergency line; and one to NOPD's Second District. The final call was answered and Bice confirms an officer showed up two hours after the attempted home invasion.The problem appears to be a lack of operators for the 911 system, and too many non-emergency callers using the system. In this case, Teri believes that the family dog scared off the home invader(s). Fortunately, Teri's right to defend herself and her family are recognized by both the United States Constitution and a recently ratified amendment to the Louisiana State Constitution.
Problem was if had said this in Los Angles would have been
out the door is 2 seconds.....
Detroit is so screwed up can say it and get away with it....
There are plenty of city council members throwing a tantrum about it but the people love him and he actually has the police department working again.
Is there any reason for him to become the next mayor, assuming that he is not corrupt?
“Hello, 911, how may I help you?”
“Someone is trying to break into my home.”
“Do you need the police?”
“Well, eventually, that’d be nice. But you’d best send the Medical Examiner as well.”
He’s certainly off to a good start with the people. I don’t know where he stands on other issues but in a perfect world a city should just about run itself with minimal public services and most services privatized.
That comes the day after.
