Terrified Chicago mom rings 911 during home invasion - only for dispatcher 'to tell her to phone politician instead and ask for more police funding'

That 911 dispatcher needs his/her ass handed to him/her

[Williams]

They shouldn’t have said it, but isn’t the real story the lack of police funding and the long response time?

[dfwgator]

911 is a joke.

[rockabyebaby]

Dispatcher has a point

[ChildOfThe60s]

Is peak absurdity finally within our reach?

[TheWriterTX]

Not by me in the burbs. They are on it.

[SteelPSUGOP]

This is where the Fox chick, Soros DA, won’t allow officers who pull folks over for traffic issues to look for other crimes, drugs, guns because of racism.

Don’t call the police, call a realtor and move

[AndyJackson]

Why? Is it a lie. The dispatcher can’t dispatch a nonexistent police officer and the victim here is part of a voting public that is getting what it wanted.

[Rastus]

Maybe in yo town.

[dfwgator]

Yeah Boieee!

[Freedom4US]

Why?

Damn fine advice if you ask me.

I remember that song (rap):

So get up, get, get, get down
911 is a joke in yo town
Get up, get, get, get down
Late 911 wears the late crown
Get up, get, get, get down
911 is a joke in yo town
Get up, get, get, get down
Late 911 wears the late crown

[Freedom4US]

Why shouldn’t they say that? Would you rather they play elevator music, periodically interrupted by a “Please Hold. Your Call Is Important To Us” or what?

[TermLimits4All]

Yea but they’re correct. They need funding to curb the escalating violence in this country. Then you get into the police state concerns so I guess there’s no easy way.

I strongly disagree. It isn't the dispatcher's fault that there were no police to send.

Everyone who calls 911 and is told that there are no police available to send should be told why. Elections have consequences. Democrat voters need to choose more wisely.

What’s funny is Duran Duran did a cover version.

There was no 911 call until after the poor visitors ran away. They get a police REPORT that will be totally investigated SOME DAY.

he just told her the truth...

[VideoPaul]

Chicago and the State if Illinois are far too busy spending hundreds of millions of dollars on illegal aliens to fund police.
