17 y/o hung up on and arrested for swearing to 911 during emergency 3

A 17 year old girl - frightened by her father's potentially life-threatening medical emergency - somewhat accidentally swore into the phone to a 911 operator out of frustration over the fact her phone call wasn't being answered. The result wasn't pretty
What do you think? The operator ended up with two weeks no pay and additional training.
In B4 Pris defends 911 operator and says its OK to neglect emergencies if someome swears at you

Okay so I kinda fast forwarded a bit and just saw her say "Are we gonna have a fucking problem" which honestly sounded pretty bad for her.
But watching the whole call, hell no. That operator was fucked up.

what a the guy should be fired. the family will get a settlement, and the guy keeps his job, so this can all happen again the next time he's having a bad day. wonderful.

You probably don't wanna have an attitude with the person that's suppose to send someone to save you it must be hard being an operator because you never find out what happens to the people that call. I saw a really good movie about that but I can't remember what it's called now

He should get punished far worse than two weeks pay. Someones life was at stake, and he's lucky no one died as a result of his failure. People curse in stressful situations, he's a cop and he should know that.

People in that position are supposed to be trained and understand that people on the other end of the line are usually pretty frantic and stressed out. They're supposed to be supportive and do everything they can to help the situation.
It's not a good idea to be getting an attitude with them, but having an attitude doesn't justify hanging up or refusing to send help. What if that 6 minutes of actually trying to get help was the difference between life and death? It's not as if she hadn't given an address to send people to. He just flat out decided to be a dick about it. Is someone's life really worth his approach?

It doesn't even say that the emergency vehicles arrived. Although I'm sure it did. I find it really stupid that he goes and arrests her. Like that dude was super butthurt over nothing.

Not harsh really, and I would expect them to do the same. I'm not joking. I thought about chaining a lot of offensive phrases together in my first post, to point out even if she had said all those things, he would still be expected to provide aid. I just didn't care enough about it to get banned for it.
Honestly he should be fired. He had no way to know whether the guy was gonna die without immediate response, and he chose to be a dick about it. Don't care about his clean past. This was a lot more than a poor judgement call. It was him deciding someone getting his panties in a bunch was worth someone's life. That shit should not be tolerated at all.

i sure hope i don't meet señor banhammer for expressing an opinion, but hey, you never know, even if i wasn't flaming anyone.... 
but yeah, 100% it should not be tolerated, the job is as important as to the-(that) extant of-(which is) the caller's life.

Yeah he was a total dick. She seemed like a bitch too. Mix douchebag with bitch and you get this mess. Funny how they complain about taxpayers money then proceed to say they are looking for a settlement lol kind of ironic. Ive listened to my share of 911 calls and they are usually pretty calm and professional

wtf. dude, I've literally butt dialed 911 before(a couple times, actually), the first time I tried to explain and they sent an officer to do a wellness check to make sure I wasn't being coerced because I got caught dialing 911 or something. After that I just hung up. I think they're used to accidental calls - and I bet they're very used to people getting upset and hanging up during an emergency while getting caught up in the chaos.
guy was a dick, and should not be working a job like that, cop was a dick and should not be working a job like that. lots of time and resources wasted on needlessly punishing a teenage girl for being upset and scared for her father - there could've been real emergencies that needed the police officer there instead.

I'm sure, seeing that this happened in 2009, that the operator is long past this.
Oh wait...
