You are SERIOUSLY trying to get me to buy into your argument that because this idiot didn't use his God-given common sense, mis-used the emergency telephone service because he didn't get his BURGER, then subsequently LIED about somebody holding a gun to his head, that he has every right to sue????

they did not use the idle accusation till the dispatcher did not send an officer (after repeated attempts to recieve what tax dollars pay for) for the reported theft of his money for lack of receiving product he paid for

if a store or restaurant calls the police on a customer that takes a product without paying the police show up to investigate the theft

why is it any different when the customer calls about paying for the product and does not receive it

and your personal attack as to the pipe


is uncalled for and against mingles use agreement

Because that is NOT an emergency! It is NOT a life-or-death situation! It's MIS-USING the very thing that you are b!tching about us paying tax money for!

like I said earlier....the cities that have dedeicated emergency lines...those are for emergencies ONLY. but lying the way the guy did is lying about a crime that didn't happen. the operator was right in telling the guy it was a non-emergency. and instead of lying and continually calling 911....the guy should have had the sense God gave a turnip and called the right number. it wouldn't have taken any less time to call the correct number

The difference is that the stores do not call 9-1-1.

i do no condone the use of 911 for this call

but the fact that the multi use comes from ignoring his call to begin with

that is hat lead t the multiple calls from the guy to begin with

so he should have been givin the non emergacy number at the time of the first call

after said first call upon being givin the non emergency number then yes he should be charged for misuse

but the nonemergancy number is usually not readily available to the general public

and to be honest you have no idea how much of an emergency the business stealing the customer's money is to that customer

the 911 dispatcher should have adised the caller of the non-emergency number advised the caller an officer will be dispatched as soon as possible and any further calls should be made to the non-emergency number

it really is that simple

*sigh*....no, it's not.

His original call was ignored because the situation was not a life-or-death emergency situation. The man was calling because he

didn't

get

his

BUR-

GER

!!!!!

As far as that is concerned, with his situation not being an emergency, and not being life-threatening, he should've known that there's a great new invention called a "telephone book", which lists phone numbers. Obviously, since he didn't have the common sense to realize that he shouldn't have called 9-1-1 for this ridiculous situation, it comes as no surprise to me that he didn't have the common sense to realize there was a different number he could've looked up if he wanted to file a report.

If the matter of him not getting his burger was really that big of a deal (as it appears it is to you), I will GIVE him his 79 cents back out of my own pocket! Really, it's okay! I'll figure out some way to muddle through.

Bottom line, the moron should've used his head, and like such is the normal fashion in today's world, chose not to. As a result, his stupidity landed his @ss in jail.

the point is

they dispatched an officer anyway

yes he should have used the nonemergency number (i am sure mcdonalds would let them use there book to call the police on them)

the dispatcher spent more time on the line (thus tieing it up from more serious calls) b1tchung the guy out than would have took to just do their job

govt tax dollars at work

Oh, good grief!

yep the govt employee kept the line tied up and ended up sending an officer to the very place the first call requested

all that time and money wasted

because the dispatcher needs more public relations training

i am pretty sure those three people will vote against any law enforcement levee they get a chance to vote on

so yes thought should be givin beyond here and now

but that is impossible for some and they consider those that can as paranoid over thinkers

the cops were dispatched because of the threat of a gun. they may have been needed at a real emergency and this could have waited

You make me laugh hysterically, I hope you know that.

The line was kept tied up by this moron repeatedly calling for his foolishness, and a police unit was finally dispatched to arrest him for it.

But I digress. That's okay, you just keep on thinking you're right. Whatever helps you sleep at night. In fact, go ahead and ask any police official or attorney what they think of the situation, and then get back to us with your findings. Fair enough?

We'll be waiting.

if the dispatcher would have done their job yes it could

the dispatcher wrote the call off and refused to dispatch a unit

that is why the unlawful call was made


like i said earlier ---------

i do no condone the use of 911 for this call

but the fact that the multi use comes from ignoring his call to begin with

that is hat lead t the multiple calls from the guy to begin with

so he should have been givin the non emergacy number at the time of the first call

it really is that simple

wow - don't we all have non emergency numbers to reach police??? If one doesn't know the number, whose fault is that??? Make it a point to know it. Wow, I hope no one needed or had a real 911 emergency while these morons were complaining about McDonald's service.

Gotta love delusion.

wait all you want



i am glad you have the feeling of being correct

i have family in law enforcement

and have studied a little law (just enough to be wrong i guess)

when you need a cop and the dipatcher will not dispatch remember this conversation

as always it was almost a pleasure

actually the dispatcher did their job. they are dispatchers for emergency calls only. and the guy should have had some sense to call the non-emergency number instead of repeatedly calling 911. and probably would have been resolved quicker if it was done right the first or second time...AND the idiot wouldn't have gotten in trouble. what he did is no different than calling in a bomb scare

How lucky for me that I'm intelligent enough to never need the use of attorney counseling services from those such as yourself. Go ahead and ask your relatives then. Let us know what they say.

Also, if I need a cop, I have enough brains to know the difference between an emergency situation and a non-emergency situation. As a result, I know which phone number I should (or should NOT) call.

As always, it hasn't been a pleasure.

actually here in Arlington...(unless it's just a general question) all calls to report anything go to 911. but we have it set up to prioritize the calls as well. emergencies come first

so the dispatch worked harder to not dispatch than it wouls of taken to do the dispatch to begin with


you check you numbers the non emergency number rings the same phone as 911

it just prioritizes the calls the same dispatcher could have received the same call regardless of which number was used

so yes the 911 was the wrong number to call i agree but the dispatcher could have handled it diferently and saved a lot of hasle for everyone

they are supposed to be trained on how to handle these things and it was hanled improperly (at least on a public relations aspect)

as far as know the non emergency umber (can you tell me the non-emergency number for the county seat three counties away from you

you do not know if the call was made from the town the caller resides in or not

and if it was handled as i suggested above none of this would have taken place (and they may have voted yes on the next law enforcement levy) [i doubt they vote yes on it now]
