HOUSTON - A 911 operator is accused of hanging up on people calling for help.

Investigators say that Crenshanda Williams had thousands of "short calls", lasting less than 20 seconds.

In one call, a security guard reported drivers drag racing. Moments later, investigators say that Williams hung up. The recording captures her saying "aint' nobody got time for this. For real."

Williams reportedly told investigators she often hangs up on callers because she didn't feel like talking with anyone at the time.

On the “plus” side, just imagine the high volume of calls she was able to dispose of quickly. Probably got a productivity bonus!

If it went on this long then somebody above her wasn’t doing his/her job either.

Exactly. In the San Francisco Emergency Communications Department, supervisors at a higher level monitor groups of call-takers and dispatchers. They can jump in at any time if warranted while monitoring the call-takers. Seems that Houston supervisors are not doing their jobs.

YES, I always do, and it's about time that EVERYBODY did....this nonsense can only go on for so long and it has FAR outlived its possible existence. Peoples lives are at stake as with police officers, and these nitwits are pretending that they are equally able to handle the jobs . This has been going on since I was a kid and I'm 77 years old and this is getting tiresome.

This is what the DOJ will be completely filled with if Hillary wins.

BLM militants with their own brand of justice.

Crenshanda. Knew without looking.

If people died due to her negligence, can she be charged with homicide?

Add a few more “greats” to that. She’s many more generations removed from slavery unless she’s a recent African or ME import.

In one case, Williams allegedly hung up on Hua Li, an engineer who called to report a robbery in progress on March 12. Li said he had been buying lottery tickets at a RaceWay convenience store on FM 1960 West at Mills Road, when a gunman entered and tried to force his way through the door of a glassed-in security area behind the counter. As two clerks attempted to block the door, Li says he ran from the store and heard several gunshots on his way out. When he got to his car, he called 911 for help.

“They just said, ‘This is 911. How can I help you?’ I was trying to finish my sentence, and we got disconnected,” Li said.

Police said that Williams was the 911 operator, and that she terminated the call within a few seconds.

Li called a second time and got a different operator. By the time police arrived, however, the store manager had been shot and killed.

You never want to believe the worst. But sometimes you see a name and the mind starts filling in blanks based on past experience.

Then you read more and It’s confirmed.

Higher-ups knews she was a piece of work. Those that knew of/suspected her bad if not criminal behavior, should also face charges.
