Re: [ST] BAD Cop.......

["Denis Liakos" <denoose@xxxxxxx>]

  No, I don't believe there are any circumstances when a call to 911 should 
be handled with anything less than professionalism and urgency. The cop blew 
it, period.  He was entrusted with a specific task and couldn't complete it. 
"Extenuating circumstances" may have contributed to the victim's death.  How 
would you like to be the person making the call as you watch a friend or 
loved one dying, and be told "too bad"?   What bullshit, must we all fall 
prey to being PC about everything?  Get real....there's no explanation for 
his behavior.
