*mouth still agape*

lol respect to the cop

there has to be a news story to accompany this... oh well i work for the state... and well... yeah most people are idiots.

myself as well, kommie ... and it takes a lot for a state employee to be fired!

here's the follow-up news story: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/7492902/

Sort-of related, in case you haven't heard it yet: the amazing Burger King 911 call:

http://www.ebaumsworld.com/bk.html

how is the burger king call "sort-of related"?? *lost* it's not like the dispatcher offered to send an officer down there to shoot the manager!

Maybe if the stupid breeder had used the same sternness with her offspring she reserved for Mike, she wouldn't have brats for bastards.

Of COURSE it was in Texas. That's the Good Ol' Boy system at it's finest.

If it had been a woman or a minority, this story would have had a different ending.

Some people have no sense of humor... LOL

How do you get the job of answer the calls? Do they put the lowest scored people on this job? What a dolt.

I like Mike.

Unfortunately, the title of this post "How To Lose Your Job...." doesn't reflect the actual actions in this instance.

According to the msnbc story that LadyBug linked to... Mike-the idiot dispatcher-only received a scolding, while his boss said that NEXT time would result in termination.

I never cease to be amazed by the idiocy and incompetance too often exhibited by the police. UGH!

Yeah, I like Mike, too. Poor sap. Doesn't he know that you're supposed to make those jokes *after* you hang up? ;-)

If she needs to "physically control" her kids, she's probably not a good parent anyway...
And if a cop went over there and the kid was to attack the cop, he could shoot her couldn't he?
Just from hearing a few seconds of her talking, she doesn't sound like a person I'd want to meet or have as a mother.

The lady is a moron. She can't control a 12 year old? the 12 year old is as big as her... That child must be a monster... or she is a pathetic mother... your choice. The dispatcher made a bad joke, but that was all it was a joke.

poor mike, poor poor mike.

12 year old kid? Fucking smack her... wtf kind of pussy ass parent are you?

If you ever act on an impulse to inflict physical violence on your children, you've already failed as a parent.

i was brought up to expect a belt or a switch to the buttocks if i was real bad. i turned out just fine.
if you don't ever discipline your children (at all, i mean cmon, at least discipline them verbally) then imagine an entire planet of Paris Hilton's.

"at all, i mean cmon, at least discipline them verbally"

That's where discipline begins and ends in my opinion. When you get physical you cross the line into intellectual redundancy and child abuse. Who really wants to give their kids a violent role model?

Apologies if my comments ruffle any feathers but I just don't think hitting children is acceptable for any reason whatsoever, however desperate and lost the parent might be.

kicked a hole in the door and she calls the cops? what a pussy mom...

Only excuse I can come up with; single mother... a lot of other stresses on her mind, and no father to help instill a little fear of reprisal for misconduct.

What a comedian. This guy should be on stage.

Although we don't know the exact situation it doesn't really matter whether or not the parent should have called 911 or dealth with the situation herself.

911 recordings/transcripts are used in court and a comment like that at the wrong time could even create confusion in the wrong situation. The comment may have been funny, per se...but not in that situation. He's not a bloody inbound phone rep for life insurance...he's a 911 operator who should be thinking more clearly.

Like someone said, make the joke to your co-workers AFTER hanging up.

Notice how she completely forgets about her 12 year old kicking a hole in the floor and begins her rant about how she is going to file a formal complaint. Not just any complaint-a FORMAL complaint! Some parents use the police to threaten their children and the kids grow up to think police are their parents. Like on COPS. Probably a step mother.

What I would have said: "Yes, would you be so kind?"

It seemed like he was saying "okay, what the hell do you want me to do about it?"

This is 911, not a daycare hotline.

Imagine the outcry if he'd have said "Okay, did you want us to come over there and taze her?"
