Dane County 911 Center Much, Much Better than Nashville's

Nashville, Tennessee 911 operator: "I really just don't give a shit what happens to you."

From David Edwards and Mike Sheehan at Raw Story:

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.
