"A woman calls 911 during a burglary and the 911 operator doesnt sound completely convinced that their really is a burglar until the husband shoots him with his .38 revolver."
I love how pleased with himself he sounds at the end.

911: "Does he need an ambulance?"

Definite thumbs-up to Leroy!
I'm pretty sure I heard "yeah, I shot him in the back".
I made no mention about preventing crime. It was all about RESPONDING. The 911 operator was totally insensitive at the very least. The fact that 911 operators are not police is irrelavant. Any job has requirements. A 911 operator has a very important job; if a person is not qualified then they should not have the job. But unions and left-wing politics have nullified this logic.
Incidentally, I don't rely on the pigs. Come screwing with me and you'll my buddies Smith, Wesson and Ruger. It's very sad, but as you say, "the police aren't there to prevent crimes". I just wish they had brains.
911: government-sponsored dial-a-prayer.
I was somewhat certain (but don't quote me on this) that it's legal to shoot someone who is breaking into your house.
I know I've heard plenty of stories of tax-cutting republicans (including the gov of my home state) significantly underfunding police, fire, and other public services, but I've never heard similar accusation leveled at dems before. If there is a legitimate trend or history of dems (or left-leaning politicos in general) harming law enforcement I'm curious to hear more about it.
The union argument I could at least partially see though. They do tend to make it difficult to fire people who deserve it, at least in some of them.
I personally am of the opinion that the best, cheapest way to massively improve our police forces in the US would be to end the war on drugs. How many man-hours are put in at *your* local precinct busting non-violent drug offenders? How much less violent crime would there be if drug dealers all became completely irrelevant? Unfortunately, it is still pretty rare to find any politician with actual power talking along these lines. Those that do tend to be labeled as kooks or extremists.
My hope in the case of this video is that the operator requested a car right away, and was just trying to get more information / keep the caller calm and on the line. If not, then that guy probably could use some disciplinary action, if not outright firing.
I think it depends on the state, but I believe in most places your life has to be in danger before you can shoot. Thus, if the burglar sees you and takes off for the door and you shoot him in the back, you'll go to jail.
What is this "muzzie" slur you keep using? Is it ethnic, racial, nationality? I can't figure it out.
His job is to get as much information as possible, he then relays this information to the police, its not like he dispatches himself, as such, he did an excellent job as far as I could tell. The caller, who is distressed, probably doesnt understand "why all these stupid questions, just send the police", but of course they get notified once he has the address.
Every policeman I know would love to be able to stop a crime in progress or even before it happens, but those opportunities are very, very few. I know you realize that you need to be able to defend yourself, and hope others realize it as well.
I grew up around "law enforcemnet" officers and know some now as well. It's amazing to me to see who gets to wear a gun and arbitrate law and justice. If we can mandate performance, educational and intellectual requirements for other professions, then we should do the same for law enforcement. It shouldn't be a haven for the uneducated and unskilled. And spare me the platitudes about how they risk their lives, etc.

The operator has to make sure as well that the call is not a prank.
Law in the UK on the use of violence against intruders:
http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/uk/article509370.ece
1. send police to address (note at 00:23 he says he's done so)
2. collect additional information
3. convey information to police (who are en route)
4. keep caller on the line until police arrive (1:04 "did you want me to stay on the line until an officer shows up?")
5. police arrive, now armed with lots of additional information that has been gathered by the 911 operator
See, it's called multitasking, and 911 operators are good at it. They can type, talk, and think at the same time. Unlike many other people, apparently.
