AZ Woman Shoots Intruder While On Phone to Police Dispatcher



video embedded
[From article]
Arizona Central reported that the 47-year-old homeowner, who was not identified, fired one shot into the 20-year-old man, who was arraigned in June after he recuperated from the gunshot wound.
The 911 call starts out with the woman, who said she was taught how to use a .38-caliber handgun by her late husband, alerting the dispatcher that someone was breaking into the house.
The dispatcher tried to calm her and said police were en route, and the woman said she had the gun in her hand. Tensions rose until the woman confirmed that someone had entered her home.
"They broke my arcadia door," she said.
The audio continues until a gunshot is heard.

Florida Man Dies Due To Emergency Dispatcher Negligence


Here is an example of a needless death due to a dumbed down population. Emergency dispatchers are an essential element in the delivery of emergency services, a major role of local government and a large use of taxpayer funds. Obsession with electronic toys have not been eliminated from the focus of on duty trainers. Being bored caused this young lady to ignore what the person was doing who was under her direction during his training. Technology enables the efficient delivery of emergency trained personnel to save lives. In this case technology also brought negligence into the mix. There is no fixing stupid.

Cleveland Dispatcher Under Scrutiny When Kidnapped Woman Calls 911


Emergency dispatchers are not always trained police officers. Some are not trained in Constitutional rights. Cambridge MA emergency dispatchers have prevented me from obtaining police protection due to intentional negligence. It is difficult to get attention to these abuses especially in cities and towns where laws are considered optional as in Cambridge MA. Perhaps in Cleveland with all of the media attention they will get their dispatchers to treat citizens with respect.

Directed Noise Compliments of CPD

[I was unable to capture the audio. ]
Harvard University is renovating their prominent Fogg Museum, Busch Reisinger Museum and their Fine Arts library. It is two years into the three year project. Usually the construction corporation complies with the many laws that the police enforce. Cambridge police allow them to ignore others. Cambridge restricts construction to the hours between 7 AM and 9 PM. On Saturday construction may not begin before 9 AM. But that is only the law. Cambridge police are excused from the laws as well as the elected officials who allegedly run the city with the permission of the 30-year City Manager. It is clear to anyone who knows about this city that the City Manager is a dictator in the purest sense of what the word means. The city police enforce laws, and city agencies act according to policies determined by one man. The City Council passes what they call "orders" which are really requests to the City Manager each week. The manager decides what he will answer and what he will ignore. The spineless people who run for office to participate in this farce, ensure that there is never any challenge to the manager's actions whether or not they are legal.

I was blessed by Harvard administrators with an apartment directly across the street from the Fogg construction project. Each day I am treated to the brutal sounds of banging and especially the added musical charms of the back up warning signal of construction equipment. It is not as if the drivers of those vehicles could not drive them without the backup signal. The vehicles have cabs that can face in either direction. But they seem to always be going backwards with the blasting warning beeper.

Sometimes they begin at 5:30 AM but I gave up complaining. The police dispatchers would tell me to go out and to complain directly so that the workers would punch me out as they did to one neighbor a couple of years ago. The Cambridge dispatchers are charming too. They work with the police to control citizens instead of protecting their freedom. Governments in this country have become communistic. Some of the construction workers told me they would prefer to begin at 5 AM every day.

On Tuesday July 31, 2012, construction began at 7 AM sharp. At about 7:25 PM I heard loud beeper signals from a vehicle which sounded as if it was right outside of my window. It continued for about 3 minutes. I looked to see. It was right outside of my window. It was being loaded onto a flat bed truck to transfer elsewhere. I wondered why it was on my side of the street. Why did it need to be loaded alongside of a building where people lived, at 7:30 AM? There are two nearby streets adjacent to the project where no one lives, at Quincy Street on both sides of Broadway. Even if they loaded it on the other side of street it would not be so loud. I wondered if the police directed them to do it that way. Would police harass civilians? In the USA? Read Hitman by Howie Carr and see how police, and the FBI in Boston murdered civilians wholesale and got away with it for 30 years. Only two FBI agents, two crime family members and two informants were punished. The same criminal organization that ran the Boston and Massachusetts governments, still run them today. A few personnel changes are the only differences.

After that flatbed truck with the construction vehicle left, another truck pulled up and dropped a large dumpster right outside of my windows. Crash, bang. One of the cranes proceeded to drop a large metal box into the dumpster making a bomb-like sound. Then the dumpster was loaded back onto the truck and taken away. All of this before 8:00 AM. This is not a unique occurrence. There is what appears to be intentional harassment by police, who are on site every day directing traffic, beginning at 6 AM. They direct the vehicles next to the residential building and on the side of the street next to the building.

Here are images captured between 7:27 AM and 7:56 AM on Tuesday July 31, 2012.

Woman with a Disability Dies After Dispatcher Delay

A Bucks County PA woman with a disability died after her call to emergency dispatchers was put on hold. Her bed was on fire. She was unable to get out. Unanswered is the question why she was alone.

HARVARD NOISE VIOLATIONS

Cambridge City Noise Ordinance prohibits deliveries after 9:00 PM. Harvard University ignores the city laws and accepts deliveries at all hours long after 9:00 PM. In this brief video clip, you can see trucks at the rear of the Fogg Museum picking up goods and furniture from events at the Fogg on Thursday November 7, 2007 at about 10:30 PM and on Sunday November 11, 2007 at 12:30 AM. The same loading dock is used beginning at 7:00 AM for trash pickups. The trucks warning beepers and banging as they load their goods makes very loud noises after hours. This is a regular occurrence every week.
My repeated complaints to the City officials and to the police dispatchers brought no relief. Often the dispatchers refer the calls to Harvard University police who do not have jurisdiction over City ordinances. It may be intentional by the dispatchers who know that Harvard police cannot do anything. This prevents any enforcement of the noise ordinance. In effect the dispatchers are negating city policy.
But that does not explain why the City Manager does not act to assert his power of enforcement. He is the chief law enforcement officer in the city under state statute. He decides what laws and ordinances he wants the police to enforce and which ones he wants ignored. The City Council makes policy. They permit the Manager to usurp their power by not asserting their authority over the Manager. Thus they make themselves appear to be meaningless officials and spineless by allowing this widespread lack of enforcement of their ordinances. And they wonder why so few people vote.
