I dunno, I watched my neighbor crack his skull on an iron railing and called 911 for him and the lady I spoke with immediately confirmed my address and dispatched a fire truck with some EMTs the moment I told her what happened, then proceeded to get more information from me about my neighbor and what happened to relay to the EMTs while they were en route.

I was not told to be calm once.

I use to manage a call center for my company

It was 90% black women. Let’s just say I 100% understand why black men don’t date black women

If you want to hear a dicky 911 operator, listen to the Britney Murphy 911 tape. Dude was a douche while the mom freaked out.

I would rather a complacent dick on the other end of the line than an either frantic or compassionate nimrod wasting precious time

The “assholes” on the other end of the line are either used to bullshite calls, either numb to the trauma, or actually trying to calm down a hectic situation. Either way, I would want someone with no emotion trying to get an ambulance and/or police on site ASAP

By all means, if you think you can do their job, go for it.

Oh your one of those people who say I can’t comment on something because I haven’t done it?

I’ve never killed anyone, but I know murder is bad just as I’ve never been a 911 dispatch, but know being a dick to someone having a bad day is bad. Obviously used an extreme example, but you get it.

people don’t call 911 when things are going well. They seem so inconvenienced


Yeah, like the time I went through the Burger King drive through and when I got home I realized they had gotten my order all wrong. I felt like killin’ a bitch! 911 operator had the nerve to tell me to CALM DOWN.

If you’re a black woman, most likely at a Walmart cash register.

It’s an opinion. It’s also a valid statement.

Racism has nothing to do with it.

They get paid like $10/hr to answer calls about something bad happening, typically from the dregs of society.


Pay varies. I know in Oregon it's a good paying job, good schedule, and great govt bennies. Have to know someone to get that job.

The same reason TSA employees at airports are jerks. They're glorified security guards / telemarketers trying to show off and make you think they are powerful.

Their job is indeed important, but anyone with an IQ over 90 can do it.

I was watching something where a woman called 911 because a guy was trying to break into her house.

He eventually got in and she went quiet because she didn’t want him to hear her, but the 911 person who already had enough info was still trying to ask her questions.

She was murdered.
