Alright, the question is: did you ever dial 911? If so what was the reason? How did you feel at the moment? I, myself, have never dialed 911. |

I haven't, but my friend accidentally called 911 on his phone in the middle of AP Comp Sci. The 12 of us were playing CS at the time so I wonder what the operator thought of all the gunshots, nades, and us spouting obscenities.

I have called many times. The most recent time was for a dumpster fire in the barracks parking lot that happened while I was on duty. The worst was when we had a drowning in the pool that I lifeguarded at. -------------

Oh, boy a story I get to tell. I was at a gas station in my town and was probably 6 at the time. There were some Kansas City Royals baseball players there signing for autographs. There was a long line and my mom and brother were with me. I got curious and dialed 911 thinking that you would need a quarter to call them. I got a guy and he said the 911 thing, something like, "This is the police department, what is your emergency." I hung up emediately and was freaked out. About 20 seconds later the guy that I'm guessing owned the gas station came out and said "I got a call from the cops and they said someone called from here." And then he started laughing and everyone else was and I was really scared and embarrased. Then my mom turned around (she didn't see me call) and said, "I hope that wasn't you." I told her I didn't.

| Once, I was leaving work at 3 am on a Saturday and the car infront of me was weaving between lanes, swerving in and and out of the lane, and turning on the turn signal rapidly so I figured he was drunk. Once the police pulled him over turns out he was working multiple jobs and was just exhausted. |

that's legit, it probably had rabies. i called when i was about 13 when we got rear-ended, and my mom was cursing out the lady who hit us. then i called again like 2 Christmases ago because i was at a party and someone there was having breathing issues and was sweating and all that nonsense. i'm a true hero. -------------

| I phoned when i had i knife pulled on me and my buddy at a skatepark, but that was only because he said something along the lines of "they may have a phone" when they were leaving. I only phoned cause someone had got stabbed at that park only a month or two before and we saw him perfectly and saw what he drove. But its pretty scary to see someone with a 5-6 inch blade behind your buddy near his neck. |

1:30 in the morning on like, a tuesday. I was on the back roads and hadn't passed a single car, then all of a sudden there's this big truck stopped in the middle of the road. I just pass slowly and saw that there was a guy in the drivers seat but then I hear screaming coming from behind me and look into my mirror and see a woman running after my car. So, I back up and all of a sudden this lady tries to force her way into my car (thankfully my door locks automatically), so I was like, "uhhh doubleyouteeff" and rolled down my window and she was like "OMG CAN YOU GIVE ME A RIDE" and I was like "....no". So, I called the cops. Another time I was driving on the highway and the car in front of me freaking swerves all the way to the right and hits the guard rail on the passenger side for no aparent reason. I saw that there was a driver and a passenger and they looked hurt (but conscious) but I wasn't able to pull over and make sure they were okay, so I called the cops. They were assholes to me both times. -------------

I have actually just lost all faith in milwaukee's 911 system after I called for the first time last a week ago. I went out the bars with some friends and on our way home, there was this guy who was extremely drunk. he was throwing bricks, and picking fights and yelling at everyone who crossed his path. We (me and 2 girls) were walking behind him and he turned at yelled at us then started kicking cars. we crossed the street quick because well, i'm not a big guy, and dialed 911. it took us 2 tries to actually get through and then got put on hold. all the while he was pushing everyone who walked by him and kicking cars that drove by. Needless to say it was a buzz kill, and he was lucky that my two friends weren't there... one would have dropped his ass right there on the street, the other would have dropped him and probably pulled his .45 on him. |

I only called 911 once. A young teenage girl was in a car wreck in front of my house. She was bleeding everywhere when I went to go check on her. So I called 911.
My mom called 911 on me one time. I heard a loud noise one morning when I was sleeping and I shot up right out of bed and begans having a seizure. Then I had another one. I was rushed to ER, had a whole bunch of tests to do and then...I never had any again. I just had 2 of them that morning. it was weird/. -------------

| I called 911 once because my brother had some kerosene lamps and somehow the kerosene had splashed onto him and he burnt his hand. I was like 8 or so. We went in the ambulance and were headed towards one hospital but then we were sent to another hospital that specialized in burns. My mom wasn't informed about the switch so she went to the other hospital from work. They didn't know where we were. She finally located us and we were waiting for the longest time for anything to be done to my brother because he wasn't old enough to get treated without consent. Then watching them pull the skin off his hand was disgusting. |

When I was younger, like 13, I did it alot. It was just because of my friends and I thinking "lets be rebellious and call the cops, then tell them our fake address and they'll never know it was us!!!" A cop came to my friends house one day and told his dad, who told my mom, and I wasn't allowed to use the phone again unless my mom said it was ok. -------------

I've been involved in several 911 calls.
One afternoon in the fall ten years ago my dad came home from work across town and parked the car at the curb. He'd been inside for a short while before he thought that maybe it wasn't a good idea to park on the dry leaves down there. Just as he got up to check it the engine compartment was catching fire. I heard him yell, saw what was happening and got on the phone to 911 to ask for the fire department. Meanwhile my dad is running back and forth with a gallon tea pitcher (half full of water each time) and throwing it at the closed hood. He was in a panic. I could see him from where I was on the phone, and I had to have the operator hold while I went to stop him from trying to start the car and get it off of the leaves. (Let's bring gasoline into the equation!) Eventually he just pushed it in front of the neighbor's house to leave melted rubber there for years to come. ---- When I was seven or so I hadn't yet learned how to ride a bike. The girls down the street that I grew up with were making fun of me, so I grabbed one of their bikes and took off down the driveway, which was sloped, and off I was on my first bike ride. The intersection right there was a big, baseball diamond shaped area that branched off in several directions, and had been tarred and covered with gravel recently. In a sharp turn a pedal caught the ground and kicked the bike from under me. The bike was utterly intact. I was not. My inner ears were bleeding, my arms and legs were scraped up badly. I had chipped my teeth and needed stitches on the roof of my mouth and on top of my head. The pain was awful, and the neighbors watched like sheep at pasture while I staggered up the street back to my house like a bleeding, crying zombie. My mom saw me and immediately called 911, then called my grandma to watch my sister. My grandma told her that ambulances were expensive, and that she'd just come and get us. My mom calls 911 back and cancels while my grandma, driving like a grandma, takes a half hour to arrive, and then layers her back seat three thick with towels so I won't bleed in her car, to take me to the hospital, where I wait for nearly an hour. I've called because I saw two 8-10 year old kids riding their bikes down the interstate. I've called on a drunk woman downtown limping through traffic yelling and swearing at cars and pedestrians. I called on a man in traffic who was apparently beating his children. I called when I saw somebody break into a car at my apartment building. I called when my family went skiing and my sister fell off the rope lift and had her hand run over by a ski. It cut her finger to the bone. I've called for multiple traffic accidents. This past weekend I called twice. Once for a drunk driver coming out of the drive-in, and again for what was once a nice dresser sitting neatly in the middle of the interstate, causing traffic to swerve -------------

I nearly forgot my favorite one.
I was in Florida for my sister's wedding, and the second night on the beach a bunch of us went out walking to see if this bar was open. It was a very dark night, and my wife and I were walking ahead of the others with my nephew and my brother-in-law's nephew, each about nine years old. The bulk of the group was my brother-in-law's family and they were well behind us. We get going awhile, and we see this mass on the beach, but it was so dark that I figured it for seaweed. My wife joked that it was probably a person. We got closer. It was a person. This ragged looking guy was laying there, face up, and looked dead. I couldn't see him breathing, and he never so much as twitched in the few moments I stood there straining my eyes. I quickly hushed the kids and sent them on forward with my wife, and ran back to tell the group. I wanted somebody to have my back when I went to check him out. Of all the big guys there, tough as they claimed to be, not one would so much as stand there nearby while I checked the guy to see that he really was dead. They instead insisted that we move on, not wanting to get involved and flat out refused to call the cops. We moved on a bit, but turned back before long, and I told them that if he were still there I was calling 911, that we had waited plenty long enough. He was there. I still wanted to check him so I'd have something to tell the cops, but there were kids there, and my wife, and the adults were teasing the kids that he was a serial killer that would kill them if they went over there. Great thing to tell a kid. When I got back I called and they sent the police, fire department, and paramedics. The cops and fire department were nearby and got there first. I was giving a statement when the firemen set off to find the guy with my directions, and the paramedics were soon to follow. It was here that the guy's with me decided to play the concerned citizen and followed the men to look for him. They said that when they found him they shined the light on him and thought he was dead. (Not just me!) They yelled to him, looked closely, and nothing. Then they kicked him. :) He was up instantly, yelling, swearing, and swinging at the firemen and paramedics, who very quickly subdued him after the surprise attack. He was hauled off to the drunk tank and for drug testing. Whatever he was on was pretty stiff to leave him like that. And he was laying there face up. If he'd thrown up he would have choked on it. Ick. -------------

I set off the smoke detector in my house. It is connected to the security company and then they send it to the fire department, I was 11 and I was spraying Lysol and lighting it on fire and it set off the alarm. I didn't know the code so I called 911 and asked them what to do. Sure enough fire department arrives 10 minutes later. I told them I burnt Ramen.

I have once, last semester at my apartment.
It was about, 3:30am I think, and from the apartment right above us, we heard a really loud yell, as if a guy had been hurt somehow, then a TON of thumping around that sounded like runningish footsteps. Then we heard a bunch more screaming/ yelling, then the dude yelling "Get the hell out" and a ton more thumping around. We called it in as a domestic disturbance, the cops took about half an hour to 45 minutes to show up, during which there was total silence above us, so they got there and nothing was wrong/ going on, etc, so I still dont know what happened, and nothing came of it. |

I work security for a large office/retail/garage/hotel complex so most of the time we Bypass 911 and use direct lines.
We use direct lines to the Ambulance Dispatch and Police Dispatch. Only fire emergencies we use 911 for. I had everything from Gun calls, Gang fights, Medical calls, a few overdoses, Shop lifters ect ect... Off Duty all the time. I live in a quiet street that surrounded by the ghetto. I had to call from Hookers in the School Playground (there is a school at the end of my street), to domestic calls, Drug dealings, people Stripping cars, To the one a Dog figthing Ring that used to be run out next Door. -------------

That reminds me of a friend from university. There was a drunk driver in front of them, so he called it in. They asked him to follow them if he could safely do so, so he did. They connected him to the squad car they were sending, so he was talking to them, and dispatch while following this person, giving updates so the cops could meet up with him. Eventually the person pulled into a parking lot and got out and started asking my friend to move, because he was in her spot, so he just asked her to sit back in her car and wait, he knew that just having the keys in the ignition while drunk was enough to get charged, so he kept her in there and the cops showed up soon after and took over. Personally, I dont think I'd have thought to keep her in the car to solidify the charge at all, I was impressed. |

Mine went something like: "911 what is your emergency?" "No emergency, this is Enos from Bellsouth Cellular, testing 911 routing for new towers, can I get your name and department?" "*sigh* Are you people almost done? This is like the 5th call tonight..." -------------

Right at the base of the throat with a 45 ACP hollowpoint. That's the only reason I'm still alive. The top edge of my body armor took most of the energy, but some of the bullet sheered off and cut up my throat and the area under my chin. Created a hell of a tracheal bruise while it was at it.

I've had worse pain.
But the frequent panic attacks for about a year after (really bad in the first couple of months) were no fun. All of the sudden, for no apparent reason, your heart just starts racing, pounding so hard it hurts... Your chest tightens and it becomes hard to breathe... Like in the middle of a movie or driving down a mundane stretch of road or something. Literally out of the blue. I was told it was a form of PSD (post-traumatic stress disorder). After that, I was shifted over to patrol, which I had no interest in doing... So I quit. The "story" behind the whole thing was relatively mundane and I don't know and / or remember it all... But basically a tourist family calls 911 saying they think there's a drug dealer working out of the Motel 6 they're staying at. For safety purposes, they sent us (Warrant Service, a division of LRPD SWAT) along with patrol. We knock on the door, declare ourselves, and the suspect's girlfriend (and/or cheap hooker) answers. The suspect already has his hands on his head at this point, so it looks like it's going to be routine. My partner holsters his weapon and gets a zip tie ready to secure the suspect. I move to cover the only unsecured doorway, the bathroom door in the back. Guy inside the bathroom (we find out later) was wanted for felony murder, so he has no intention of letting us take him in. I never saw him. I was told he was behind the shower curtain. Last thing I remember of that day was approaching the bathroom doorway from the opposite wall. I still don't understand how he shot before I even saw him. But anyway, yeah, that was the end of my very brief (7 month) Law Enforcement career. ------------- Real Men Love Cheeses |

Honestly, the whole thing wasn't nearly as dramatic as it sounds. Just one of those life things and a risk that every Law Enforcement officer takes. You get caught in a bad situation and things can do downhill fast.
Most officers spend their entire careers without anything even remotely close to that happening... I was the first Warrant Service officer to be shot (actually shot rather than just shot at) in all of LRPD history. Just lucky I guess. ------------- Real Men Love Cheeses |
