  1. Sad…my baby accidently called 911 trying to open my wife phone to take her picture. My baby ofc cant speak well.giving her age sis t say anything. They called my wife back 2 or 3 times with no answer. An hour went by without the present of an officer. Really messed up for them to not come and see if anything happened.

  2. This is why police officers quit in droves or outright avoid patrolling black communities everyone and everything is on eggshells if you sneeze you’re a racist and need to be fired no wonder the Buffalo shooting happened people get sick and tired of being sick and tired God Bless

  3. AHHHHAHAHAHAHAHA 🤣🤣🤣

    "Sir I have more pressing matters than your orchestrated false flags"

  4. Don't fire someone who made a mistake or promote a bandwagon to see someone fired for a easy mistake, that's cancel culture gone mad.

  5. This dispatcher should NOT be fired!!! They SHOULD BE ARRESTED AND TRIED FOR NEGLIGENT HOMICIDE!!!

  6. This dispatcher should NOT be fired!!! They SHOULD BE ARRESTED AND TRIED FOR NEGLIGENT HOMICIDE!

  7. Just release to the public. I'd really like to hear that.

  8. And these are the types of issues that America needs to worry about and not what's happening in Ukraine.

  9. It's too obvious this was set up he didn't only plan this someone else helped it's just odd how some of the people represent so much history for so many African Americans! This is very heartbreaking I am so disgusted, it's just not making sense they should have shot him on sight!!

  10. If you got ran over during a parade… you ain't black

  11. Lawsuit for everyone who was shot or killed ,could the call have saved a life?

  12. it's like a horror movie where no one believes you – time must have last forever for the poor woman laying down listening to that nuts footsteps walking around the grocery store and the 911 phone operator hanging up on you

  13. This is horrific. If that was the only 911 call made then everybody in the store would be dead. The dispatcher should go to jail.

  14. Piece of human waste 911 Dispatcher MUST be fired immediately!!!!

  15. No excuse for this happening, and I'm glad that this operator is being fired. I'm not entirely surprised though. In Buffalo 911 operators make about $19 per hour on average. A McDonald's store manager in Buffalo makes about $21 per hour on average. You get what you pay for, Emergency personnel and first responders get paid crap for doing some of the most important jobs in the community. It's shameful.

  16. It's the city workers. Fire the operator and black list them for life

  17. Geesh Who's Is Monitoring These Dispatchers This is unacceptable Because There Lives Was in Danger You Wouldn't Would Someone To Do That To You If Your Life Was in Danger I'm Talking about The Dispatcher Geesh Do Better please

  18. This is why the 2nd amendment is important. Why put your faith in the system when you can take charge of your own protection?

  19. Fired, and should face jail time.

  20. She need to go to jail

  21. Flava Flav said it best. 911 is a joke in your town

  22. Get it right administrative so called leave (WITH PAY) like the majority of times a Leo or someone in those capacities are put on.

  23. If something happened to that woman would we even have heard about the hang up?? Woman would've been dead & that 911 heffa would be sleeping peacefully in bed not knowing she cost a life.

  24. “She hung up in my face” lol

  25. It only takes a second to die…..every second counts!
    911 calls are taped, monitored, so hopefully that dispatcher doesn't get another chance to hang up on anyone else in desperate need again.
    Such a horrid thing that happened Sat.. My heart goes out to the families, friends of those killed, as well as the horroric trauma the survivors must still feel. 💔❤💔❤💔❤💔❤

  26. Sounds exactly like American lol. Full of attitude.

  27. Wow. So much revolving around the shooting.

  28. Two weeks later…then nothing happen to the dispatcher. Going right back to work. 🤣🤣🤣🤣

  29. With all due respect,america is becoming a joke.

  30. It sounds like they probably couldn’t hear her, but they still shouldn’t have hung up. 😕

  31. Release the 911 conversation.

  32. Being from buffalo our city of good neighbors has been torn to shreads by a coward with a sick warped plan to divide us. HE NOT ONLY TORE THE SOUL OUT OF OUR NEIGHBORHOOD BUT DESTROYED SO MANY OF OUR FAMILIES AND FRIENDS FOREVER. TRY SHOWING SOME COMPASSION TO THE DISPATCHER WHO IS ALSO NOW A VICTIM THAT WILL HAVE TO LIVE WITH THIS THE REST OF THIER LIFE. ARE WE REALLY SO COLD AND SO FILLED WITH HATRED THAT WE HAVE TO DESTROY ANOTHER HUMANS LIFE. WERE BETTER THAN THIS AND OUR COMMUNITY HAS BEEN THROUGH ENOUGH HATRED TO LAST FOREVER. GOD BLESS ALL OF YOU, AND TRY TO OFFER YOUR HEART INSTEAD OF YOUR HATRED. I HOPE WE CAN HEAL😪

  33. Why don't. BLM. go storm. 911
    Operator's house. ???
