Part of the movement to destroy America so they can “build back better”

You’ve been robbed? File a report online.

The police have become like every other old franchise restaurant chain that doesn’t deliver to its customers any longer. Think McDonald’s and Burger King.

Still exist but you go elsewhere.

They don’t realize it, but it’s because we no longer have God and country to hold us together. And barely family.

If the police are so unimportant in keeping citizens safe, why do we need armed security for the politicians?

Of course, it only becomes an emergency after you shoot the son-of-a-bitch.

Aim well or fire enough times to make sure he is dead and then there is no emergency. It’s not like someone will die if the police don’t get there quickly.

Actually a little worse in Washington state.

If you call 911 for a shooting, robbery or assault and the police arrive, they will not pursue a culprit who has left the scene.

I just love how politicians - and especially liberal politicians - pick innocent-sounding names for really bad ideas.

So, in the People’s Communist Gulag of Austin, if you are still being shot at by criminals, the police will respond.

But if someone calls to say there’s a dead body on the lawn and the shooters are not around, the police will not bother to show up. Instead, a “civilian crime technician” or someone from the coroner’s office will be sent to bag up the body.

Police officers in one of the largest cities in Texas are no longer responding to calls that are deemed non-emergencies as of Oct. 1. In situations including when there is no immediate threat to life or property, residents and others in Austin are being told to submit a report online or call 311 because a call to 911 will not yield a response.
~~~~~

This article is just a lie, and I don’t appreciate a lie being paraded as a conservative value. 911 is supposed to be reserved for emergencies only. A police department announcing that it will no longer respond to non-emergency 911 calls is stating something which should have already been policy. If it wasn’t then the policy up to the announcement was wrong, and needed to be corrected.

More abandonment of actual government duties to pursue other, more important things.

There are some pretty lame 911 calls that need ignoring. But I’ll definitely admit that I’m glad I don’t have to screen them.

I don’t necessarily have a problem with this. 911 is for emergencies - serious injuries, threat of life, fires etc. But switching numbers may not be the right solution. 911 operators can transfer the call. With all the technology it’s not like we’re in 1920 with cable cord switchboards.

But this story does remind of the Trump ad where the caller dials 911 and gets voicemail.

Murder too, presuming the victim is dead and the perp didn't hang around. After all, what's the rush if the victim is dead and the perp has fled. Robbery, assault unless the perp hangs around no big deal.

Should have noted they’ll probably respond to a self defense incident since a surviving victim is a potential threat.
