BBQ Beef poboy from Goula’s Pool Hall on Thibodaux.
BBQ sauce was memorable.
Forget the brand but they went out of business.

I had to call 911 a little over a year ago after witnessing a really bad car accident, and they asked me 20 fricking questions before routing me to an ambulance service company
I was literally on the phone for probably 3 minutes answering who, what, when, where, why, how? at some point, I was like, there’s been a bad car accident just send an ambulance and a police officer.
How fricking complicated is that?

As a 911 Board member, I understand and share your frustration. Please know there is a purpose for all the questions and the details / accuracy of the situation. The dispatchers would like to hang up quicker also, however, they follow National Standards dispatcher protocols.

Most emergency agencies are on the same dispatch software system, meaning, the information you provide over the phone and entered into the computer software, is seen in real time by police, Fire and EMS dispatchers.

Once a confirmed address is verified, resources are dispatched. Again, accuracy is paramount. Nothing worse than sending resources to the wrong location.

Additional info helps determine what else is needed such as, extrication, utilities for a down power line, safety issues, pre-arrival self-help medical instructions, etc.

While frustrating, that ‘useless info’ you think you are being bothered to be asked, actually has a purpose. In many cases, it may not be necessary. However, tele-communicators must do their job gathering information the same way for minor incidents and major detailed incidents.

While this answer may not satisfy those who think the process is stupid. Hopefully, you have gathered an understanding of the ‘why 911 asks so many questions’, so that if you need help, hopefully the person who calls 911 is able to assist the response by providing the requested information.

We sailed the Jubilee sister ship, the Mardi Gras. It was fantastic. A ton of people but never crowded. So many dining venues to explore.
The primary Cruise Director on the Jubilee, Kyndell “Fire” was a great host when she was on Mardi Gras.
You saw here everywhere, very energetic and personable.
Good luck and happy sailing with the wind t your back.

20 family members with pic of graduate on shirt…..

Preparing for when their graduates aspiring rap career takes a violent turn for the worse because someone got disrespected.

Stale Cracka Two Step salt free all purpose - 0 Sodium
Very good flavor

It was a no-win position for the cop.
She is tactically deficient. No situational awareness as her pistol was exposed (not protected) as evident by the male standing behind her with his hand on her back above the pistol.
She was not taking anyone into custody.
Outnumbered.
One prep with crutches against 3 others.
Taze the crutch dude - and the other 3 beat his arse more and she can’t stop it.
Taze one of the 3, she can’t take him into custody if the other 2 turn on her. If successful, what does she do next.
Do nothing? Crucified by public opinion as seen in comments above.
Simply be passive aggressive in an attempt to appear you are actively trying to calm & stop the fight.
Another issue is the mob mentality as others got involved.
At the end of the day, protect yourself, Hope backup arrives soon and live to fight another day.
Maybe crutch dude was the a-hole aggressor and deserved the best down? :dunno: :dunno:

I didn’t see my high school graduation as anything to get excited about.
:dunno:

Reminder - judge them by the content of their character.

On the other hand, those 50 dipping sauce containers could have been used as a good defensive attack weapon. Grab a handful and throw like a semiautomatic.

I know both of them well. I think highly of both of them.
I have heard stories about both that would reflect negatively on their character, however I personally never experienced anything like that.

Fontenot appeared to come from a positive place, and supported his position with verifiable facts in an in person videoed interview.

Cooks has only gone on social media and that resulted in mud slinging, name calling and getting people emotional. That is what you do, when you don’t have facts to defend your position. This appears to be a common sense fiscal bill and nothing more.
Unfortunately, the current political climate does not always have the stomach to do the right thing. We will know by June 1st.

The bill does not reduce nor eliminate any services or enforcement duties for the Marshal’s office. Only the funding. You decide which side you feel is right.

Who supports the bill? Cities, Parishes, Sheriff’s Association, DA’s

Who opposes the bill? Marshall & Constables Association

This all falls under the category of WGAF.
They are consenting adults doing what they want to do.
Only need to answer to their families.
Outside of that, it’s none of our business.
Similar situations exist at many work places - probably in your own backyard.
