I don't see why someone would ask a 911 dispatcher for a go-ahead...?

911 told my roommate the same thing when someone tried to break into our house.
They didn't stay on the line with us, but they did call back before the cops would get out of their car.

Well, Oklahoma has many faults (mostly in the form of the Sooners) but I have to say that the state shows a lot of common sense on self-defense laws.

This is impressive: Two illegal aliens, Ralphel Resindez, 23, and Enrico Garza, 26, probably believed they would easily overpower home-alone 11-year-old Patricia Harrington after her father had left their Two-story home. It seems the two crooks never learned two things: they were in Montana and Patricia had been a clay-shooting champion since she was nine.
Patricia was in her upstairs room when the two men broke through the front door of the house. She quickly ran to her father’s room and grabbed his 12-gauge Mossberg 500 shotgun. Resindez was the first to get up to the second floor only to be the first to catch a near point blank blast of buckshot from the 11-year-old’s knee-crouch aim. He suffered fatal wounds to his abdomen and genitals. When Garza ran to the foot of the stairs, he took a blast to the left shoulder and staggered out into the street where he bled to death before medical help could arrive. It was found out later that Resindez was armed with a stolen 45-caliber handgun he took from another home invasion robbery. That victim, 50-year-old David 0′Burien, was not so lucky. He died from stab wounds to the chest |

That 911 recording is the best legal defence in the world imo. I'm not saying it should be nessicary, but I can understand why she asked. Not everyone has had years of going over situations in thier head and having shoot - no shoot outcomes pre-planned. On the downside now the layout of her house and what she owns is publicly known, big opsec fail

The dispatcher specifically says, for the recording, "County 13 is advising..." Dispatchers are trained they are not to give legal advice. She did not (in this clip.) She simply stated, "A law enforcement officer says it's okay to defend your property." In the OP's clip, the dispatcher didn't specifically authroize the use of deadly force, but did tell the woman she could "do what she has to do to defend her baby." I could see where this is an arguable point for prosecution. However, I seriously doubt any district attorney will choose to prosecute. A civil lawsuit, OTOH, well...draw your own conclusions.

I don't see why someone would ask a 911 dispatcher for a go-ahead...? It gives you one more piece of evidence in your corner when the prosecutor comes knocking. +1 I might not delay shooting, but if I can get the 911 operator to give support to the decision beforehand I'm all for it. |

Quoted:
"McKinley was on the phone with 911 for a total of 21 minutes." ––on the surface, seems to be a problem with PO response; although this example wholly deflates any anti-self defense argument that the "police can protect you." Have you ever been a police officer on New Year's Eve night? Alright then... Now, if you want to get a law on the books banning all fireworks, and making it a felony to fire guns off on NYE, and put 200% more police officers on the street for NYE, then by all means, we'll be happy to cut the response times to priority calls down. But as long as we have to keep going to some whiney ass bitching about their neighbor throwing a NYE party, or the fireworks (aka Gunfire), or the legitimate gunfire calls, then we will get there as soon as possible. This girl did good as far as I can see. Damn good. |

I don't see why someone would ask a 911 dispatcher for a go-ahead...? I honestly believe that we forget that many people never think about, "What if I had someone tries to break in my home. What can I do about it?" I bet this girl wasn't sure what her legal options were. Glad that she rehabilitated one bad guy. |
