Washington D.C. 911 Controversy

[10-Buff-4 0]

Ordinarily, I would not even think of posting this. I am also very keenly aware that the Broadcast Media may not be telling the whole story. But, the allegations seem severe and disturbing, and I wanted to bring it to your attention and hear your thoughts.

the ghetto of 911 dispatch

You guys are surprised by this?? DC has been a mess for years. I happen to think uniform purchases are far from questionable, though. Especially since I just got one. I don't necessarily like it, but that's another story for another time. Thank heaven someone is at least blowing the whistle on the problem.

Now as for the traffic stop, all that dispatcher had to do was ask the cop to call after the stop was completed. The officer was right, her statement was irrelevant. Or, she could have sent the cop a message via MDT. I guess subtlety isn't one of her strong points. Can't wait to go visit this place on my next little trip.

Thats a complete disgrace. Does Washington DC use a trunked system?

I agree with you Buff that the whole, "truth", story isn't being told. Once again the media telling us what they want us to hear. And very interesting that the mayor of DC can't look you in the eye when answering th ereporter looks off to the left. That's how my parents knew I was lying. And a reply for the second video, you get what you pay for. If you did that anywhere else you would get yanked off the board if I'm not mistaken Right??
