Instead of calling 911, I grab this.

No, I just didn't quite understand your post, or what libertarianism has to do with the comment you replied to. I was hoping you could clarify.

1) Classic lib response!

You're an idiot.

In Warren v. DC, police didn't show up after 30 minutes of repeated assurances from a 911 operator to two women, calling to report the screams of the victim downstairs, that the police were on the way. When the screams stopped, they assumed the intruders had left and went downstairs, and were then captured and sexually tortured by the intruders for another 14 hours along with their roommate, and in their subsequent lawsuit against the DC police, they lost.

Can ANYONE explain HOW they lost the case, if the 911 tapes showed the dispatcher reassuring the victims REPEATEDLY?

and in their subsequent lawsuit against the DC police, they lost.

Ah...I now see, the jury was stacked with LOSERS!

The court said that it is a "fundamental principle of American law that a government and its agents are under no general duty to provide public services, such as police protection, to any individual citizen."

If there is no "fundamental principle" to provide public services, such as police protection, to any individual citizen...what the $%#%&*^%$#%%^ a ARE WE PAYING TAXES FOR?!?!?!

If that is REALLY a Court decision that stands, then we as Citizens have a LEGAL STANDING to REFUSE to pay taxes...since there is no guarantee of service for said payment!

The service the police provide is not the protection of any specific individual, saith the court, but the protection of "society in general" by taking reports of criminal activity, gathering evidence, and seeking out and apprehending suspected criminals for delivery into the court system.

One police chief was honest, at least - he said if you want individual protection, get a gun.

"... the first of three squad cars dispatched arrived last, 17 minutes after the initial call. "

If you have ever been to a White Castle you know this allegation is BS. They would have waited in line at the Castle for at least 20 minutes for their order. It doesn't add up.

[mvpel]

So when did the other squad cars arrive?

Dial 9mm instead of 911

I have a Chicago PD shirt that says "We protect and serve--when we feel like it." I got it at one of the uniform shops they use.

They have a ton of shirts like that... "School patrol: you fail 'em, we jail 'em" and public housing: "if we come up you go down"

Carrying is a hot button issue with all of us Freepers in the People's Republic of Illinois

Just being able to own a gun is a concern if you live anywhere near Crook County.

Sliders are horribly wonderful.

[Viking2002]

Yuck. They blew off a 911 call to munch White Castle smegburgers? They opught to be charged with poor taste as well as negligence.

Donahue, newly-elected to his position, said his union wouldn't object to installing more sophisticated satellite tracking gear that can pinpoint every squad car at all times. Blakley's sources told him that in the past, the FOP opposed that, claiming it was "a big brother" intrusion.
Now THAT is the funniest thing I've read in a loooooong time!
I wonder at the technological improvements that must have come along from the days of the "paper wheel" indicators for monitoring a vehicle's speed but simply aren't used. Maybe this case is a good reason why. Kind of hard to explain away documented, irrefutable incompetence.
I knew "big brother" techniques before many others were even aware such things could be done, having been directly under the scrutiny of instruments such as the old "paper wheels".

Last summer my parents' house was struck by lightning which started two fires in the attic.

My mom called 911 immediately.

She told the 911 operator/idiot what had happened and gave the address.

The operator continued to ask questions, and so my mom told her a second time that the attic was on fire and gave her address, requesting a firetruck.

The operator continued to ask other questions, infuriating my mom, who gave her the vital information for the third time, but without her previous self-control.

The operator then agreed to send a firetruck.

In the meantime, my dad went into the attic with a fire extinguisher and put out the two fires, saving the house.

Looks like a good book.

You're correct. I think the latest stats show that most felony busts (and capturing of fugitives, occur during routine traffic stops. Most cops I know burn out pretty quickly, as police work is probably one of the most emotionally draining professions in the world. My old man was a cop for several years. When I asked him why he quit, he said he just got tired of getting up every morning knowing every person he talked to was going to be lying to him.

BUMP for later read

[cyborg]

BTTT not the first time I heard stories like that :(

[cyborg]

:sigh: okay but stopping for BURGERS on the way to a 911 call? Would they like something like this to happen to their family? But then I reference rolee's post to see their stupid mentality anyway.

[NotJustAnotherPrettyFace]

I have a friend who is "addicted" to White Castles. Maybe these cops are too?
