Donald is running a campaign ad on TV, showing an Old lady calling 911 because a burglar is breaking into her house!
911 answers saying due to "defunding" of the police, no one is here to take her call.
For robberies dial 1, for burglaries, dial 2, for all others leave a message and you will get a reply within 5 days.
Next shown is door broken in, and then a falling phone hits the floor. Scary to say the least!!!
Today I just read in the news, where "60" 911 calls were unanswered in Portland Or!!!!!
Due to police responding to riots! Sadly, the ad has merit!
That sounds a little fishy. The 911 centers aren't manned by police, they have their own personnel. I guess they mean the cops didn't respond after being notified of a 911 call.
Also, "defund" the police doesn't mean eliminating them, it just means less militarization so the huge amount of money spent annually on tactical gear goes toward mental health workers for callers threatening suicide, etc. I thought "defund" was a stupid buzzword for this, it confuses people and gets them riled up and it gives the Rs a great way to scare the voters.
