The 911 “Emergency”
“I used to work as a 911 dispatcher and I once took a call from a lady who was complaining about a black man walking down the street. He was doing nothing wrong…except, as she put it, ‘He’s black and walking down the street.’
She insisted an officer be dispatched to speak with her and we had a policy that we must always dispatch.
Soooo… I sent the only black officer on duty. It was out of his area, but a computer message to him and the supervisor made it obvious why he was going. When he arrived she went nuts and called again screaming that there was now a black man knocking on her door. I said, ‘yes this is the police officer you requested.” – Reddit user nlderek
This should have thought her a lesson, but instead she went an extra mile and as Reddit user nlderek noted, the woman threw a fit on the phone, asking for the supervisor and not opening the door to the police officer! Here are other examples of people “asking to speak to a manager” and getting more than they bargained for!
