A Nashville woman who waited hours for someone to respond to her call to 911 emergency services didn't hear the worst part of the call.
After Sheila Jones hung up the phone, a local news reporter found that one 911 operator said, "I really just don't give a shit what happens to you."
"I think I'm more hurt than I am mad that my life didn't mean a damn thing to them," said Jones, after hearing the tape played back to her for the first time. Jones had called for help after an ex-boyfriend assaulted and threatened her.
911 officials told Nashville's NewsChannel 5 that the staffer who took the call "was a trainee who was [later] fired ... not for the comment, but for flunking his final exam."

Absolutely horrendous. Make this idiot accountable--as well as the whole lot of operators and the police who ignored this woman. Saying that he is no longer with us seems to be about bucking the blame. What actions are actually being carried out? Slaps on the wrist, that's all that happens, slaps on the wrist.
