Re: FL: Dispatcher sends police to wrong home 9 rounds fired

Surgeon wrote:On a late Sunday night/ Monday Morning some years ago, I had a similar event. Someone screaming in my front yard, my dogs barking and woke me from a sound sleep at 1:30 am. Wife called 911 and I looked out with gun in hand. This nut job still screaming and yelling. My wife tells 911 what's going on and that I have a gun trained on the this clown telling to stay where you are and get back. She hands the phone to me and the dispatcher tells me "put the gun away"....
Seriously? I said I would as soon as the police show up. It's dark, poor lighting, late at night and this guy is bloodied and keeps looking back and forth to his right....I'm holding onto my firearm. No less than 2 minutes later six of Baytown's finest show up. I put my firearm inside and tell dispatch.
Turns out he got in a fight for refusing to have sex with some transsexual at a truck stop nearby. They caught the other umm "guy" but no one pressed any charges and thankfully no one got shot. The LEO's here are outstanding in my opinion.
I've had some very mixed run in's with Baytown's "finest". Don't get me wrong, they have some outstanding individuals on the force, but a few of them are giving alot of them a bad name (IMHO).

My understanding from the article is there is an internal investigation into the matter, just not the dispatcher for some reason.

Re: FL: Dispatcher sends police to wrong home 9 rounds fired

No shots were fired by the homeowner.
I do believe I would have been returning fire. If nothing else but on pure instinct, esp at 1:30 in the morning.
