#1 "911, what's your emergency?"

"We're being robbed!"

"*Yawn* we're too busy, we'll send someone to take a report for your insurance company in a few hours."

*click*

"911, what's your emergency?"

"You can cancel that call about the robbery, we shot him."

"We'll have twenty cops there in two minutes!"

"I thought you said you were busy?"

#3 You don't have to go to Brittan for that. when i lived in Pueblo, CO (where they would sick the hose if they were giving the state an enema) we were having a gang related territorial dispute on my block. 3 nights in a row, shots fired. average response time for PD:45 minutes. 4th night, i called dispatch "since the PD has shown they are unable or unwilling to provide for public saftey, i will open fire on the gang-bangers who are shooting in the park across the street in 10 minutes. i can assure i will hit my mark."

sirens in less than 30 seconds. i had a nice discussion with the shift captain, and gang task force on street talking to hoodlums the next day. night after that they began playing 2 blocks over.

#5 Another way around the problem, if you want a LOT of police there, and in a hurry, is to make a "gang rape in progress" call. Cops will be pedal to the metal across the town, and arrive with a bad attitude.

The one thing you don't want to be doing at ground zero is to be carrying a gun. Anybody who is, and not in uniform, is likely to get shot.
