About a year ago I was trying to get hired as a 911 operator, since then I have changed my mind. I could not give such poor advice as "stop shooting him and put the gun down" or "return to your house and wait for the police."Paladin wrote:"...used her phone to call 911.
Dispatch tells us to wait outside for the police and return to the scene. Hell no, we weren't returning. Especially after we watched the man leave my house, literally walking out the front door. "
911 operators seem to be giving the most dangerous, horrible advice I can imagine. It's like they want innocent people to be hurt or killed. They need to get help on the way and just keep their advice to themselves.
My gut reactions would be "Is he still moving? Shoot him again."
