Robin....whether or not the dispatcher remembers the call or not...the situation changed because of the lie about the gun. they acted on the gun report. and I'm sure there is more than one dispatcher

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


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]

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.




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


We have individual numbers, call local ofc for non emergency situations and 911 for emergencies.

"If this is an emergency please hang up and dial 911"

frustrated they did handle it properly...they told the moron that he called the emergency line. the idiot should have then called the non-emergency line after that instead of lying about a gun. he basically called in a bomb threat

and if they would have done the job as described that call would havev never been made

it is not the dispatcher job to say we will not dispatch it is their job to take the call and dispatch someone when an officer is available

and i never condoned the use of that phone call but the inaction of the dispatcher caused the to be made as much as the person that made the call

many states and cities do it different. here...anytime someone needs to report anything (even something like this) they call 911. but other places have separate numbers

simple question

do you think these three people will ever vote yes on a law enforcement levee

if you do not think they will

then it was handled improperly

whether it was by the book or not

hi sunshine,

now are you saying because this man
1 - didn't get his order straight from an McD's employee
2 - he didn't have the non emergency number
3 - he was verbally abusive to a city/state employee
4 - he didn't get the response he wanted

it's the dispatchers fault he reacted that way??? rofl

he reacted like that because he is a fool - he acted foolish (no one to blame but himself)

instead of dialing 911 all that time call 411 and get local number

do you think any of those three voters involved will ever vote for a law enforcement levee

whether they do or do not vote in any particular way, does not condone nor excuse their foolishness - that is a personal choice - no need to guess

tongue2

he acted foolish
all on his own
regardless of anyone's behavior or lack of accommodating his wants
he is responsible for his actions

and not to mention being stupid enough to call in a false 911 call that one I didnt touch...

Noooo, of course not! Let's not be silly! I don't carry a phone book around with me wherever I go. However, the business establishment has one of their own, I'm sure, and I'm also sure they would've had no problem loaning it to this moron so he could make his ridiculous report to the police.

"Hey, yeah, I want to report that I'm at McDonald's, and I didn't get my burger. I tried calling 9-1-1, but the fool dispatcher said it wasn't an emergency, so I was forced to waste my time by actually looking up your phone number so I could report this catastrophic situation. I'm a taxpayer, and I demand my rights."

Worst-case scenario, most establishments, including McDonald's, still have pay telephones, which also have telephone books attached to them. If they're not attached, are missing, or may have been stolen, this would be another opportune time to call 9-1-1 and report them as missing, too.

Incidentally, if that guy had such a hard-on about not getting his burger, why would he leave the scene?

Who cares? The other two took off when the police came, they probably had warrants for their arrest. Do they need every single person to vote in their favor? Would they be that much better off with these guys voting for them? Are these the kind of guys who would even vote anyway?

hang up the phone (disconnect cell phone call made to 911)

dial 411

no need for pencil nor paper as they can automatically connect you
