Kimberly Harris can KMFA while they're at it.

Kimberly Harris, president of the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees Local 1023 in Detroit, which represents 911 operators, said the charges are unwarranted.
Harris said the operators had trouble hearing the boy because of faulty headsets. Transcripts of the calls, however, do not reveal the operators asking the boy to repeat anything.

I think prison is a bit harsh, but this women shouldnt be allowed to keep her job.
I dont think there was any bad intent, Im sure she honestly thought it was a prank call.
The thing that sickens me the most isnt the fact that this happened.
Its the fact that this women and their union are now flat out lying to cover for this mess.
I guess its some how OK for 911 dispatchers to blow off emergency calls if they decide too????
If she goes into court making up excuses and trying to put the blame on her headset, I hope they throw the book at her.
I consider myself a forgiving person, But I just cant handle it when some one screws up and doesnt think they should be held accountable for it.
