My ex wife was a dispatcher and I have taken Emergency Medical Dispatching for EMS/Fire. I have an idea of who I can trust and when Im going to be hanging out in the breeze.
I don't think this thread (or at least my opinions shared in it) is about dispatchers and whether or not they do a good job. I do believe that they are indeed there to help and to connect people with help as quickly as possible.
After hearing George Zimmerman and the circus its turned out to be I think I will however just hang up.
I think the important thing to ask yourself is "who is this serving?" Often times the recorded 9-1-1 calls are used to serve a prosecutor's interests, not yours.
