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

[u/Outrageous_Year4617 → u/HugsandHate]

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.

Yep here is an actual article with her picture https://spectrumlocalnews.com/tx/austin/news/2018/04/19/911-operator-who-hung-up-on-emergency-calls-sentenced-to-jail

[u/Gone_For_Lunch → u/Broke_n-Old6824]

10 days in jail? That’s all she got?

[u/Strange-Spot-3306 → u/Gone_For_Lunch]

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 → u/Gone_For_Lunch]

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.

[u/Ok-Pomegranate858 → u/Conscious-Mirror7004]

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

[u/Conscious-Music-8376 → u/Gone_For_Lunch]

Plus the 18 months of probation, but yeah.

[u/okarox → u/Conscious-Music-8376]

That should make it a felony.

[u/Ok-Pomegranate858 → u/Gone_For_Lunch]

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

Now that's Crenshanda.

[u/Kraien → u/Broke_n-Old6824]

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

Wtf...

[u/Hollywood_Co → u/Broke_n-Old6824]

Thanks for this.

[u/pedestriandose → u/Broke_n-Old6824]

Reports of homocide and she hung up?!

[u/AugustousScissor → u/Broke_n-Old6824]

damn. people would've fixed her until they saw that picture.

[u/Square-Singer → u/Outrageous_Year4617]

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

[u/broshrugged → u/Square-Singer]

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

[u/BuzzClucking → u/Outrageous_Year4617]

What'd they make her look like on the tv show ? A white guy ?
