Woman finds intruder asleep on her sofa, 911 operator suggests waking him

  [21]David Pescovitz 9:47 am Wed Jul 20, 2022

  In Winnipeg, Canada, Angela Chalmers woke up early on Monday to find an
  intruder asleep on her sofa. She quickly told her roommate and the two
  quickly hid in a closet and called 911. According to Chalmers, the 911
  operator said that "the police were really busy and would we mind going
  downstairs and waking him up ourselves?"

  From [22]CBC:

    Chalmers did mind. She and her roommate stayed upstairs until police
    arrived 20 minutes later and the pair ran downstairs and out of the
    house in the Earl Grey neighbourhood.

    It took four officers to get the man out of her home after he woke
    up and became aggressive, she said.

    Police say the incident is being reviewed and the 911 dispatcher who
    spoke to Chalmers has been provided feedback on the handling of the
    call, some of which deviated from standard practice, said Kelly
    Dehn, director of public affairs for the Winnipeg Police Service, in
    an emailed statement.

  "Feedback." LOL.

      pled guilty to calling 911 frustrated that a female relative "was
      not following his rules." In that case, the judge gave him jail
      time but... [27]READ THE REST

[28]Please stop calling 911 about cicadas
      As the plague of 17-year cicadas descends across the eastern and
      midwestern United States, officials in Union County, Georgia ask
      that residents stop calling 911 over the bugs' infernal noise. From
      a Union County Fire/Rescue & EMA post on Facebook: Union County
      E911 is receiving multiple 911 calls for "alarms" in the

[30]Decapitated store mannequin washes up on Florida beach, horrifying
onlookers
      Kathleen, a volunteer doing a beach clean up for environmental
      nonprofit Ocean Hour in Perdido Key, FL, spotted what she thought
      was a decapitated corpse on the beach. The barnacle encrusted
      figure was convincing enough that someone in their group called
      911. When they got close enough to inspect, what might have been a
