911 CALLS

[Duchess]

I'm sometimes surprised by the response of those taking 911 calls. We've all heard some of the responses. This teenager called 911 after her friend was shot. Like anyone who calls that number she expected to get some help for her dying friend.

That 911 operator is a prissy asshole.

He gives no instruction to the caller and then flatly refuses to help because she says "fuckin'" and expresses frustration?

The dude should be forced to find a new line of work, if he hasn't already.

The 911 operator resigned the minute the audio became public.

Here's the story behind the call -

When 17-year-old Jaydon Chavez-Silver was shot at a party in Albuquerque last month, one of his friends did what anyone would do under those horrible circumstances: She called 911.

“I’m doing CPR as we speak,” Esperanza Quintero told the dispatcher. “I’m keeping him alive.” However, that 911 call ended abruptly when the dispatcher hung up on Quintero, after the 17-year-old caller cursed at him in a moment of frustration.

“Okay, you know what, ma’am?” the dispatcher said to Quintero as her friend was dying. “You could deal with it yourself. I’m not gonna deal with this, okay?”

That dispatcher, Albuquerque firefighter Matthew Sanchez, resigned Tuesday night, according to the Albuquerque Journal.

Sanchez had been placed on administrative leave before his resignation. The June 26 incident is under investigation, Albuquerque Fire Chief David Downey said in a statement. “As the chief of the department, I am taking the allegation very seriously,” Downey said.

“It was his job,” Quintero told ABC affiliate KOAT. “I don’t understand why he would have hung up.
