That poor boy will be scared for life. Not only did his mommy die, but he tried to save her & was threatened & didn't know what to do. poor poor poor child


As for the bunny case, I have mixed feelings.. it being a 911 call no. a police matter YES! I've called 911 before & asked to be transfered to the local police as it wasn't a life & death situation, but an officer was needed.

13yrs ago, I called the local police (there was no 911 in my town). I told them there was a raccoon in the neighbours yard & it didn't look right. They rushed 2 officers over. A lady officer was let into our yard & the male officer asked to go into the yard 2 houses down. They saw the raccoon & also felt something was wrong with it. the lady Officer watched the coon, while the male went to the 3 houses to let us all know they were going to shoot it & to keep all kids & pets indoors, until they gave the all clear. 16 shots later the coon finally died.

I'll explain why it took so many rounds. These Police Pistols (really the cartridge) are not designed to kill animals. The bullets are traveling so fast that they go right through the small animal & do not cause enough damage to kill it (when an officer shoots a person the cartridges are also not suppose to cause a gory mess, if the suspect dies ohwell, but the chances of survival is decently high). Also you cannot shoot the animal in the head if it is suspected of having rabies (they need the brain to test for it). They also wanted to make sure it was 100% dead before they went near it. Any twitching could mean its still alive (not likely but why risk it). My folks were very helpful. they supplied the officers with large trash bags & a box to make carring the body easier & less messy. The police were bad people (hells angels) but atleast they took good care of us when we needed them! Regular cops normally wouldn't deal with this stuff.

Heard about that, too.. what a load of crock. What's the point in calling 911 anymore?

My brother works at Canadian Footwear here and one day some drunk guy came in with a snow white rabbit threatening to throw it on the ground and squish it's brains out if no one bought it from him for $20. A co-worker called 911 and they said "We can't come, no human life is in danger". WHAT THE HECK IS UP WITH THAT?!

That is just crap!
And what happened?

Heard about that news story. So sad. However, after the stories Andy's co-workers have told me, I'm sadly not surprised.

One co-worker had her car stolen. She then spotted it in a driveway a few streets away. She called the police and they asked her if she had an extra key. She said yes and they told her to go steal it back!

Exactly!!! That operator is definitely guilty for serious neglect!! I know some kids play games with the phone; but a help-call from a 6 year old should ALWAYS be taken seriously; They should at least have checked this!!!

Poor boy

OMG!

that reminded me of what happed last year (I think I posted it). A BABY & little girl were outside alone. The little girl was trying to get into the house but couldn't.. both kids were crying for 30 mins. We kept an eye on them & then called the police as enough was ENOUGH!

The police went over to the house (the kids were finally in the house, but the mother left the BABY outside for an extra 15 mins alone!!!).

The damn police officers walked RIGHT to our house!! (thats all we needed was for the mother to know who called the police on her) They YELLED at us!! & said the kids were out ther for no longer then 5 mins & that we should have gone over & delt with it!!!!
We argued back telling them it takes 30 mins or more to get the trailer out of the garage, fill the tires, fill the trailer, test the trailer, cover the trailer, hook it up to the car properly, & park it outside the house. The kids were outside crying LONG before we went outside to deal with the trailer (I have no idea just how long the kids really were out there, before we spotted them).

The next day the grandfather came over to our house (the mothers father, they live nextdoor to eachother). I thought it was going to be a war, but he was just VERY concerned & wanted to hear our story before he judged anyone (he sounded like a caring man). We told him what we saw & how long the kids were alone for. He was quite angry (not at us), he said he hasn't seen this behaviour before in his daughtor, but will NOW keep an eye on things & thanked us for being caring neighbours!

Oh ya, after the 2 police officers left I called their supervisor REALLY pissed off (I tried not to yell at him). I asked that the 2 officers need to be spoken to RIGHT NOW & to NEVER treat anyone with such dissrespect ever again! Nor to walk up to the house that made the call & yell at them!! I said that experiece is almost enough to NOT call the police for anything & when who is to blame if the kids were hit by a car?? (besides the parents of course).

Like I said before, its pretty darn bad the the hells angels Police Officers are FAR better officers then the regular police officers.. Its also kind of scary too.

I heard about that on the news. What has this world come to?

That just makes me sick... that's just HORRIBLE. Imagine what the little boy thinks of himself now... poor baby.

To reiterate, it was the 911 operator who told him to stop playing around, NOT a police officer. They played the recording over television not here but in other cities. In fact, the operator actually threatened to "send a police man to the house and you will be in big trouble!". Well TECHNICALLY even if they do get a prank call, they are supposed to send an officer over to the house to investigate just in case!

Thanks for pointing that out! And we get prank calls all the time but never is a call ignored. I was so shocked when I heard about this. That poor boy.
