Comments say the video itself isn't real. But the story is.

u/Outrageous_Year4617 4h ago

Well she was 43 not 23 and I can't tell if the video is really her or not.  But yes it was really true.  She even made the international news.

If you Google her she hung up on thousands of calls.  She wasn't just fired she was convicted of a crime.

One of the Law and Orders episodes was about her case.

10 days in jail? That’s all she got?

u/Strange-Spot-3306 3h ago

It's a misdemeanor apparently.
But also, what the fuck - it took 'thousands' of calls she hung up on before she got found out? i mean yeah, she needs to be punished, but that is also negligent management.

u/Conscious-Mirror7004 3h ago

What a ridiculous sentence.

She should have gotten 10 days in jail for each instance of hanging up on people. For a conservative estimate of "only" 1000 hang-ups, that would come out to 27 years.

7

u/Ok-Pomegranate858 3h ago

Hold on. There are actual murders and robbers etc who got way less than that. I'd say 10 days for every day she behaved in that manner

15

u/Conscious-Music-8376 3h ago

Plus the 18 months of probation, but yeah.

7

u/okarox 3h ago

That should make it a felony.

2

u/Ok-Pomegranate858 3h ago

I was thinking so too. She could have caused people to die because assistance didn't come in time. Was the state sued?

Williams told investigators she often hung up because she didn’t want to talk to anyone at those times.

Wtf...

Is the story real if all the details about the person are wrong?

Nope, at this point it's hate bait against younger generations for "not wanting to work"

a lot of people in the background for it to be fake.

u/TheBold 4h ago

I feel like these guys just have to basically turn off their soul when on the clock for self-preservation and being able to do their job. Ever heard how they sound on the phone?

-911 what’s your emergency? 🥱

-A MAN JUST STABBED AN OLD LADY AND HES NOW EATING HER FACE WHILE SHES STILL ALIVE nightmare fuel background noises

-Hmm k. And where are you? 🙄

u/Nofreakncluwutimdoin 3h ago edited 2h ago

It really is a skill 😆. Years ago I interned with a County Sheriff's office in a rural area in the south. There was a dispatcher named Misty and it didn't matter what was happening she came on the radio completely calm and clear. We of course greatly appreciated this. Some dispatchers get excited, start stuttering, etc. Never Misty always clear, concise, and accurate.

I can still remember a night when she dispatched us to a suicide call. Its so clear I can hear her voice in my head, "1137 be advised caller advises her boyfriend called to her from the bedroom, waited for her to come to the door and shot himself in the head."

Our county was located near a military base that had nuclear capability. We used to joke that Misty would broadcast the nuclear apocalypse in the same tone of voice. "1137 be advised there's been a malfunction at the base. We are all going to die in the next 7 minutes. Have a good night." 😆

u/soraiiko 4h ago

I feel like her soul might’ve been clocked out well before she even entered the building tbh.

I do think you’re right, but this woman looks like she’s not okay in the head.

4

u/One-Competition-5156 3h ago

At least the dispatcher answered and remained calm. Yes, some of them sounded bored, but they were working on it. I prefer this over someone who panics too or becomes overly emotional, like: “gasp, oh my God, really? where are you?”

u/AndromedanPrince 3h ago

its one of the highest rated jobs for stress and depression. most ppl dont last or just go into deep apathy

u/Plane-Letterhead2406 3h ago

Oh like they have it so bad, EMS crews have to actually see horrific death and bodies and we expect the to be able to keep it together.

Why not?

u/Techyon5 3h ago

Alright, but let's not make this a thing of 'B has it worse, so A isn't allowed to complain!'

One job does not preclude the other of stress and pain.

(Or course that doesn't excuse the story in the video obviously. If you can't handle it, you shouldat least be calling in sick that day, if not resigning)

u/koolaidismything 3h ago

Panic never helps a situation. Pilot crashes are the worst. Most of those dude will be calm sounding,as the worst thing you can imagine happens. A few panic. I sure as shit would.

100%. As I said it’s a skill they need to do their job.

The simulation just be adding npcs without any quality control.

1

u/Tiddlewinkly 5h ago

Funny you say that, cause the video is literally simulated, it's not real at all. Look at the numbers in the top right, and why is she constantly staring directly at the camera on the officers chest and never his face. The story is definitely real though, just not this exchange.

2

u/mrawsomemask 4h ago

This is real and she isn't looking chest level. Technically she is looking stomach level. It's because her supervisor is a little person. She did say those two dumb statements back to back too because she is just an idiot.

Thanks mate, what does a shower cap have to do with racism? Is it a hair thing? They just pick such random shit.

7

u/buttlicker090114 4h ago

Black women often wear bonnets and shower caps to preserve their hair styles. I think this guy was making a play on words of the phrase “no cap” slang for true/no lie/ for real.

u/GreenEyedTreeHugger 4h ago

She was too lazy/burnt out to work. Yet had the energy to get her hair perfect before going in. Because one is self absorbed and a unlike white women most WOC don’t just rock a ponytail. It’s hard to articulate in a mere couple sentences.

Hair is an interesting documentary done by Chris Rock on this topic.

u/No-Inspector8315 4h ago

It’s just a dog whistle because black people and black women generally use shower caps and bonnets to protect their hair from water and heat damage. So their statement is strongly alluding to her incompetence because she’s black, like a racist would

2

u/ShenTzuKhan 4h ago

Firstly thanks. Second eeeew. Some of these racist allusions seem so piss weak. “You sometimes wear a shower cap so you can look nice, I’m better than you!” No confidant worthwhile person ever said something like that.

No, white supremacy is making this about race when no one brought it up but you, to diminish that white supremacy exist.

Based on this comment, implies you're using every opportunity of an incompetent person who just so happen to be black to vilify black people and push a racist narrative. You are the problem man.
