MILWAUKEE (WITI) — The Milwaukee County Sheriff’s Office released a new public service announcement regarding gun safety on Thursday, January 24th that is getting attention for its bluntness. In the PSA, Sheriff David Clarke says, “With officers laid off and furloughed, simply calling 911 and waiting is no longer your best option. You could beg for mercy from a violent criminal, hide under the bed, or you can fight back. But are you prepared?” He goes on to say, “You have a duty to protect yourself and your family. We’re partners now. Can I count on you?” CLICK HERE to listen to the PSA Jacob Schneider is a firearms instructor at the MGS Group — attached directly to the Shooters Shop in West Allis. He is happy someone has finally spoken up about the need to own a gun. “He is saying we are responsible, in a lot of cases for our own personal safety,” said Schneider. “If he does not feel he is capable of doing this, and he’s not qualified to take on this role of public safety, he should resign and he should do it today,” said Jeri Bonavia of the non-profit Wisconsin Anti-violence Effort. Bonavia says Clarke is asking citizens to become vigilantes.

Mickelson really showed himself to be a spineless twerp, but he’s not the only one.

“I’m Sheriff David Clarke, and I want to talk to you about something personal: Your safety. It’s no a longer a spectator sport — I need you in the game. But are you ready? With officers laid off and furloughed, simply calling 911 and waiting is no longer your best option. You could beg for mercy from a violent criminal, hide under the bed — or you can fight back. But are you prepared? Consider taking a certified safety course in handling of firearms, so you can defend yourself until we get there. You have a duty to protect yourself and your family. We’re partners now. Can I count on you?”

One city councilman acts like a fool about guns, but the Mayor puts him in his place.

Calling 911 is so someone from the city will come and haul away the dead meat. Dead bodies are heavy!

Without giving away too much of the movie.

I like the scene in safe house (1998), guy who played the capt on star trek NG, calls 911, and says, there’s a dead body in my kitchen .
911 wants to know his name, but he just repeats the same thing then hangs up.

Another reason I like this is, I had to call 911 once, then “They” hung up on “me”!
