I went off because your defense of a cop who put people's lives at
risk is disgusting.

You had already proven to me that you were incapable of discussing
anything like an adult.

So why would he dispatch anything if he thought he had already

Yup - and since he didn't send anything, there must have been some
delay unless all emergency units were already tied up with other calls
and wouldn't have been able to respond immediately anyway.

Are you telling me there is no way other than memory for dispatchers
to see if units are already responding?

The article is pretty skewed. The point is that he hung up on them
without so much as confirming where the accident was.

How is he supposed to dispatch someone if he can't be sure where it
is?

He may have thought he already responded to them, but I can't imagine
there aren't procedures in place to check that sort of thing.
