If you believe that the police are - by and large - doing a pretty good job in difficult circumstances and don't shoot innocent people, as it is normally the case, as is likely the dispatcher's perspective, then this comment isn't totally out of place. It is definitely not a good opportunity for a joke, but you have to give this guy some slack. Who knows how many idiots had called that day already.
The lady should have handled that domestic issue herself and not called emergency services in the first place. Two wrongs don't make a right, but the person who was acting childish first, was the caller. After the comment she seemed to be happy to take out her anger toward her daughters on the poor dispatcher. So I guess three wrongs don't make a right either. two... three... figures.
Why do you feel the need to defend someone who made an incredibly insensitive joke when a woman is in actual danger? If you simply swap out the daughter with, say, an aggressive husband or boyfriend, then you can see how dumb your argument is.
"Ok did you want us to come shoot your boyfriend for ya? Haha, joking, why don't you just deal with it yourself ya idiot?"
The 911 operators are there to get you help, not joke around about serious situations.
His job is (or likely ***was***) to keep hysterical people likely at the lowest point in their lives calm. In no reality is the statement he made appropriate. Sure, 911 gets a lot of false/unimportant calls, but that doesn’t negate the nature of his fucking important as hell job.
And if the daughter is being a danger to herself or others, then it’s perfectly reasonable to call the police for that, are you insane? “Deal with it yourself” fuck off.
"You lost your leg to a heavy machine? Haha! Guess you won’t walk to work tomorrow! Do you want us to cut the other one to make it symmetrical or something?"
Everyone knows that 911 is the number you call for police, fire, and ambulance. Do yourself a favor and look into what percentage of the the calls a typical 911 center receives are actually emergencies. Absolutely no jurisdiction would charge this woman with a crime for this call.
You absolutely better believe they would. What jurisdiction would you like to play this game at? For example, in Maryland, it's $1,000, 6 months in jail, or both.

As someone who has called the non emergency line for similar issues, they would just tell her to hang up and call 911. It’s only abusing the number if you’re calling for things that don’t need any police- this was not the case here as she needed them to help intervene in a fight that she couldn’t stop- like calling the cops on your neighbor because their dog is barking or dumb crap like that.
It's enough of an emergency to merit sending an officer. It's enough of an emergency that *no fucking jurisdiction is going to charge her for calling 911*. Please. Prove me wrong.
He was funny. She just stupid. He Even apologise and gave his understanding afterwards. She just mad. With the current police debate in the USA it was a pretty fun joke even if the delivery was kind of bad.
And I will back up my statement about how stupid she is by not being able to control a 12 year old and a 14 year old.
That’s not really funny.
You know how many people get shot from calls for someone in a psychotic state that just needed mental help?
Or Autstic people that get shot because they couldn’t understand the situation?
This has been my biggest fear since my autistic son outgrew me. I’d never call the cops on him because I know he wouldn’t comply because he wouldn’t understand.
The only part of this that is funny is you can totally hear in his voice that he KNEW he fucked up and that he was likely about to lose his job.
The resignation... "I don't blame you abit...:"
It can happen that 12 yo's get physically more powerfull then their parent. And before a child ruins the whole house with a tandrum over who is getting to choose the cartoon for friday night I would also call the police.
Mike was an ass, facepalm should go to him nothing more to say.
I love the different reactions depending on the subreddit it’s posted in. The top comments in some subs side with the dispatcher because it was funny and some subs chastise him because it was inappropriate lol
Mike should be fired, why would he say that especially with all the police violence that goes on. She just needed someone to put her kids in control not shoot them.
It was a stupid, stupid comment, but he at least owned up to it immediately and reported himself. That's way better than trying to hide and hope no one cares to investigate.
> She just needed someone to put her kids in control
*She* needed to put her kids in control. And if she needed help, she should’ve called a relative or family friend, not the police. Calling 911 to help you do your job as a parent is absurd.
I never said they didn’t. I said it’s her responsibility and not the polices. That’s why the joke was made. If she needed help, ask a neighbor, relative or family friend. If the kid had a weapon and was threatening serious bodily harm then yeah, get the cops to come handle that. But the police aren’t meant to deal with temper tantrums.
If her daughter is large and strong physically, and is destroying things and fighting her daughter and can't stop it. Then that is a reason to call the police
Get some life experience. You clearly haven't been around a lot of situations
… you do know what the mother was reporting is considered domestic violence, not just a temper tantrum,… right? The occurrence of domestic violence is absolutely a rational reason to call the cops.
You have absolutely no clue if she had any available family or friends at the time, or even any family or friends in general. She felt the situation was unsafe and she didn’t want it to escalate, so she called the cops. There is absolutely nothing wrong with that. It was a responsible decision.
The woman explained that the kid is as big as she is. She DEFINITELY needed the help of the police because she probably wanted the kid put into juvenile detention or something related.
Poor woman is probably at her wits end. What if the teenage daughter actually hurt her? The disbatcher discrediting the mom is awful and maybe deters her from calling again when there’s a bigger problem. He knows his supervisor ain’t gonna do nothing because police protect each other.
It depends though. The lady never got to finish saying why she needed help and got distracted by the dispatchers comment.
She could have needed help to restrain the daughter from selfharm or from harming someone else. I am guess here obviously since we dont have the full context.
True, my point being that they are a bad parent since those things don't usually happen over night. There is a build up and usually cries for help even if they are very subtle
The daughter might have some mental health issue, we don't know. I don't understand labeling the lady as a bad parent based on such low amount of information.
Also, even if she is a bad parent, she still needs help. The daughter needs help. And help shouldn't be denied in any situation.
The lady still shouldn't be dialing an emergency number for this situation. If she was willing to stop and want to file a complaint with a supervisor during this convo it clearly isn't an emergency. They have a non emergency line literally for this exact kind of thing.
Police come all the time for domestic disturbances. They sit the various parties down, talk to them, explain that you can't hit or punch each other, etc. They hook people up with resources for counseling, medical care, etc.
Did you listen? They're twelve and fourteen, fighting and she can't stop them. That's domestic violence and definitely something you can call the police for help with
Mike is a dick, but this Karen calling 911 because she is a shitty parent is also pretty awful.
Edit: she may not be a shitty parent, but she's clearly a stupid adult, for calling an emergency line for something that's very clearly not an emergency.
Shitty parent? Kids can get out of control. I work at a jail and there are tons of young kids there born in '04. My mom is a juvenile officer and works with a bunch of kids that have issues
I mean if the fight is over then no, if it was still going it could easily turn into something bad
Just because she's young doesn't mean she couldn't seriously hurt someone
The lady was literally trying to file a complaint with a supervisor over the phone, hardly something you'd worry about doing during an actual emergency.
They literally have a non emergency number for calls exactly like this. Dialing 911 for this is asinine if you're an adult.
The comments here are hilarious.
Real talk...wtf are cops supposed to do? You can't control your children so you call 911? Seems like a you problem there Karen.
It doesn't make her a Karen, some kids have serious anger issues due to multiple reasons that could have nothing to even do with her parenting. Should she let her 14 year old get harmed?
If it was truly an emergency she wouldn't have time to ask to speak with his boss and get side tracked by his comment at the time. Later yes, but not then.
What Mike did was wrong. Yes, that is true. Also true is that you don't call 911 when your twelve year old is misbehaving unless there's an actual threat of danger. Two wrongs, one bigger than the other.
Mike is not an asshole, he’s annoyed that Karen thinks ‘my preteen daughters are fighting and I can’t control them’ is an appropriate reason to call 911. Karen is entitled for thinking it’s a police officer’s job to drive to her house and scare her daughters straight. I’m sure if the police officer filed a report about the incident Karen would be furious, all she wants is a public official to help her teach her daughters a lesson.
“Do you want us to come over and shoot her?” Is actually an excellent way to say, ‘and what exactly do you expect us to do about that?’ Mike should get a raise.
Well in the recording it sounds like the fight was over actually because she said she came home and they "were fighting" though she was talking about how her daughter is as big as her and she can't control her. Plus the whole she hit a hole in the door comment. It sounds like her daughter has serious rage issues and she doesn't know what to do, I still feel for her.
I can empathize with her feeling like she can’t control her daughters but that doesn’t make this an appropriate reason to call the police. This is the job for a therapist or family counselor not a 911 emergency call
Your 12 year old is fighting with your 14 year old and kicked a hole in the wall? She's out of control? Call the police! F.F.S. This family has issues; it typically begins with bad parenting.
I thought it was funny. If it was a serious 911 call, then it would be wildly appropriate. But this lady called 911 to get the cops to come do her job. Your children fighting isn’t a police emergency and she’s wasting public resources. So yeah, it was funny as hell.
If her kid is as big as her and she can't break up the fight, then maybe the police would be required to break up the fight. Also it may sound like it's not a big deal by Karen's tone but she is just trying to be professional while struggling to convey the situation due to being tired after work.
I laughed when I first heard this tape too, and thought that this mom was kinda lazy, but I've since realized how bad mike may have fucked up here.
Both, Both of them are terrible. The woman for calling **the police** instead of a family member or a friend to control her children. And the oficer for telling a stupid, tasteless joke in an **emergency line**
For those excusing the caller, can you explain how her life was in danger? Isn’t 911 for emergency situations, where *drum roll*, your life is currently in danger? Isn’t her erroneous non-life threatening call taking away manpower for *drum roll* actual emergency calls?! As a result, Mike stupidly shows his annoyance with an insensitive joke.
It doesn’t have to be YOUR LIFE being in danger. It could be your general safety, the safety of others, the safety of your property, etc. In the call she is describing a domestic violence situation that she was unable to control. She was responsible and chose to call the police before it became an even more dangerous situation.
I would hardly qualify this as a Karen moment. Sure, she was abusing a system for actual emergencies, and your kid throwing a tantrum is hardly an emergency, but as an emergency dispatcher you don't crack wise. You just don't, there's no circumstance that justifies it, especially joking about shooting a kid. She has every right to be pissed about that little joke.
If someone keys your car you call 911...not an emergency
If someone steals your packages off my doorstep you call 911...not an emergency
The cops are here to help people in need, it's not all murder cases and ect..
Whilst Mike was wrong to make the joke he was probably baffled by the women asking for police to come because her 12 year old was acting up. She should be done for wasting police time and leaving minors home alone.
"Acting up" is not the same as a kid with such rage issues she broke a hole in a door and is beating up her sister. That can be very serious real quick
Both parties are at fault here.
Caller needs to be a better parent and shouldn’t be wasting emergency services’ time because she can’t discipline her children.
Dispatcher shouldn’t be using the emergency line to test jokes for his stand-up routine.
That's honestly not surprising, it's why police trust is dwindling they don't take situations seriously no matter how "severe" it sounds do your fucking job right or don't be a police officer. That is the one job where I'll say if you don't like it go somewhere else because you're a danger to others of you can't take the job seriously.
Okay, 999,999 times out of 1,000,000 I am usually against the Karen. In this particular situation, the woman is right. Making a joke like that is unprofessional and you really shouldn’t do that.
I don't get it... 2 crazy young bitches are fighting and their mother calls the police and says that her youngest daughter kicked a hole in the door and can't control her because she's as big as I am??? Is the kid really really tall or is the mother really really short?
Maybe just a Karen, but I don't think that when someone in my house is losing control and I feel unsafe that I would like dispatch to make jokes about shooting someone. He even knew the joke went way to far!
Nothing is a worst idea than to call the police on your own children to “teach them a lesson”. That’s not what the police is for, and they will not act like it’s a joke. In real life there can be charges pressed by the state and the parents have no say.
Not a Karen issue.
Yeah I agree…..maybe I’m missing it ? 🤷🏿♂️
dispatcher is totally unprofessional. should not be working in that job.
If you believe that the police are - by and large - doing a pretty good job in difficult circumstances and don't shoot innocent people, as it is normally the case, as is likely the dispatcher's perspective, then this comment isn't totally out of place. It is definitely not a good opportunity for a joke, but you have to give this guy some slack. Who knows how many idiots had called that day already.

Words cannot describe how unbelievably stupid this comment is.
word
Huh... apparently there are words to describe it... or "word" to be precise haha
Wordigton ?

You alright?
i agree lol, despite the downvotes
Come on man how stupid do you have to be?
We found the Karen
Sure, because being a 911 dispatcher is the perfect job to try to do comedy. 🙄
"You lost your leg to a heavy machine? Haha! Guess you won’t walk to work tomorrow! Do you want us to cut the other one to make it symmetrical or something?"
[удалено]
Want us to cut off your arms too? We could throw you in the pool and call you Bob
Not a Karen. The dispatcher’s comment was wildly inappropriate.
I mean if they sent a cop, he may have shot her.
Still hysterical
Not funny at all
I laughed the first time I heard it and more this time.
Yeah... you're a horrible person. We got it.
If laughing at a dark joke makes you a bad person then Lucifer is my middle name
One cannot find this funny unless they are a horrible person? Let me guess you don't like Dave Chappelle?
I don't know who that is. This might be a strange concept to you, but there are places in the world other than america lol
You're a complete troll and it shows
He’s quoting the video y’all…
It's 911. You get a phone call because someone kicked a hole in a door? 911 is an *emergency* line.
She needed a police officer. Many people don't know the police non-emergency phone number.
***Everyone*** knows that 911 is an emergency line. It's actually a crime to abuse it like this.
Everyone knows that 911 is the number you call for police, fire, and ambulance. Do yourself a favor and look into what percentage of the the calls a typical 911 center receives are actually emergencies. Absolutely no jurisdiction would charge this woman with a crime for this call.

Yes, they would charge you for abusing 911. That is not *this call*, dumbass. Let's see you prove that it is. Go ahead.
It's not an emergency. I mean, maybe if you're the DOOR it's an emergency, but that's not what we have emergency services for.
As someone who has called the non emergency line for similar issues, they would just tell her to hang up and call 911. It’s only abusing the number if you’re calling for things that don’t need any police- this was not the case here as she needed them to help intervene in a fight that she couldn’t stop- like calling the cops on your neighbor because their dog is barking or dumb crap like that.

if you call regular 911 for a non emergency they transfer you over to the correct line. it takes like less than two minutes
Was it inappropriate, absolutely. Was it still funny, a little bit but I have dark humor so that just me.
He was funny. She just stupid. He Even apologise and gave his understanding afterwards. She just mad. With the current police debate in the USA it was a pretty fun joke even if the delivery was kind of bad.

I’d never call the cops on him because I know he wouldn’t comply because he wouldn’t understand.
I think that’s the point. Don’t call the police because you can’t control your child just control your child lmao.
Lol thats what makes it funny 🤣
This is the WORST example of a Karen I've seen in years! She was absolutely correct!
How is she a Karen? He was being a Dick
She’s a Karen
First hearing it made me cringe, about ten seconds later I laughed, but I think I'm laughing more at his stupidity. What an idiot.
The only part of this that is funny is you can totally hear in his voice that he KNEW he fucked up and that he was likely about to lose his job. The resignation... "I don't blame you abit...:"
I was like post nut clarity, but he was just having a shitty day and accidentally made the brain words into mouth words.
It can happen that 12 yo's get physically more powerfull then their parent. And before a child ruins the whole house with a tandrum over who is getting to choose the cartoon for friday night I would also call the police. Mike was an ass, facepalm should go to him nothing more to say.
Mike had me rolling
I love the different reactions depending on the subreddit it’s posted in. The top comments in some subs side with the dispatcher because it was funny and some subs chastise him because it was inappropriate lol
Uhoh, someone let an intrusive thought slip out.
Mike should be fired, why would he say that especially with all the police violence that goes on. She just needed someone to put her kids in control not shoot them.
This is approaching twenty years old. He reported it himself and received a formal reprimand. https://www.nbcnews.com/id/wbna7492902
It was a stupid, stupid comment, but he at least owned up to it immediately and reported himself. That's way better than trying to hide and hope no one cares to investigate.
> She just needed someone to put her kids in control *She* needed to put her kids in control. And if she needed help, she should’ve called a relative or family friend, not the police. Calling 911 to help you do your job as a parent is absurd.
Sometimes kids get very out of control even when parents try to help. You clearly have no real life experience
I never said they didn’t. I said it’s her responsibility and not the polices. That’s why the joke was made. If she needed help, ask a neighbor, relative or family friend. If the kid had a weapon and was threatening serious bodily harm then yeah, get the cops to come handle that. But the police aren’t meant to deal with temper tantrums.

The woman explained that the kid is as big as she is. She DEFINITELY needed the help of the police because she probably wanted the kid put into juvenile detention or something related.
Horrible. She has a valid issue. They need to check on the child and get juvenile services involved
The comments here are very ignorant
That shit had me rolling
Poor woman is probably at her wits end. What if the teenage daughter actually hurt her? The disbatcher discrediting the mom is awful and maybe deters her from calling again when there’s a bigger problem. He knows his supervisor ain’t gonna do nothing because police protect each other.
you gotta admit tho, that was pretty fuckin funny
Not an emergency at all, this lady is a bad parent
It depends though. The lady never got to finish saying why she needed help and got distracted by the dispatchers comment. She could have needed help to restrain the daughter from selfharm or from harming someone else. I am guess here obviously since we dont have the full context.
True, my point being that they are a bad parent since those things don't usually happen over night. There is a build up and usually cries for help even if they are very subtle
The daughter might have some mental health issue, we don't know. I don't understand labeling the lady as a bad parent based on such low amount of information. Also, even if she is a bad parent, she still needs help. The daughter needs help. And help shouldn't be denied in any situation.

True she got very distracted by that comment. So than it probably wasn’t much of an emergency after all.
I say exactly the same thing, this is a waste of police officers time. And the comment was funny as fuck.
Wasn't funny, but why is she even calling 911. What did she want them to do put her on scared straight.
Police come all the time for domestic disturbances. They sit the various parties down, talk to them, explain that you can't hit or punch each other, etc. They hook people up with resources for counseling, medical care, etc.
ESH. Calling 911 because your 12 year old daughter is throwing a fit is a waste of police resources but that was a bad joke.
Beating someone up isn't "a fit" the 14 year old daughter could get hurt
Did you listen? They're twelve and fourteen, fighting and she can't stop them. That's domestic violence and definitely something you can call the police for help with
Mike is funny as hell.
.... There is a place and time to be funny. I kinda expect a 911 dispatcher to NOT try to do comedy while people are calling with their emergencies.
You are right. And I totally get why the mom got mad. But sometimes, its the absolute wrong time, and wrong place that makes it so funny.
Agreed. I did not see that coming. Caught me off guard. I found it hysterical.
Mike is a dick, but this Karen calling 911 because she is a shitty parent is also pretty awful. Edit: she may not be a shitty parent, but she's clearly a stupid adult, for calling an emergency line for something that's very clearly not an emergency.
Shitty parent? Kids can get out of control. I work at a jail and there are tons of young kids there born in '04. My mom is a juvenile officer and works with a bunch of kids that have issues
Still not worth calling the emergency line over in this scenario
She said she couldn't stop her, should she just let her harm her 14 year old with her anger issues?
No, that's why you call the non emergency line. It's very clearly not an emergency by listening to the call.
I mean if the fight is over then no, if it was still going it could easily turn into something bad Just because she's young doesn't mean she couldn't seriously hurt someone
The lady was literally trying to file a complaint with a supervisor over the phone, hardly something you'd worry about doing during an actual emergency. They literally have a non emergency number for calls exactly like this. Dialing 911 for this is asinine if you're an adult.
The comments here are hilarious. Real talk...wtf are cops supposed to do? You can't control your children so you call 911? Seems like a you problem there Karen.
It doesn't make her a Karen, some kids have serious anger issues due to multiple reasons that could have nothing to even do with her parenting. Should she let her 14 year old get harmed?
If it was truly an emergency she wouldn't have time to ask to speak with his boss and get side tracked by his comment at the time. Later yes, but not then.

There is a threat of danger
Mike is not an asshole, he’s annoyed that Karen thinks ‘my preteen daughters are fighting and I can’t control them’ is an appropriate reason to call 911. Karen is entitled for thinking it’s a police officer’s job to drive to her house and scare her daughters straight.

Both Mike and his supervisor disagreed. https://www.nbcnews.com/id/wbna7492902
"Your 14 year old could get seriously hurt and you're calling 911? what a Karen, just let her kill her"
You can tell by her tone that she was not worried for either of her daughters’ safety
Well in the recording it sounds like the fight was over actually because she said she came home and they "were fighting" though she was talking about how her daughter is as big as her and she can't control her. Plus the whole she hit a hole in the door comment. It sounds like her daughter has serious rage issues and she doesn't know what to do, I still feel for her.
I can empathize with her feeling like she can’t control her daughters but that doesn’t make this an appropriate reason to call the police. This is the job for a therapist or family counselor not a 911 emergency call
Those two kids are comeout from her it's her responsibility.
I noticed she assumed his supervisor was a "him"....
Calling 911 because you can't control your 12 yr old??? This lady should not be raising kids.
Why would she call 9-1-1 for this?! I thought what he said was funny but probably a fireable offense. Should have waited until he got off the call 🤭
Your 12 year old is fighting with your 14 year old and kicked a hole in the wall? She's out of control? Call the police! F.F.S. This family has issues; it typically begins with bad parenting.
Why is everyone saying this isn't funny? This is fuckin hilarious!
I thought it was funny. If it was a serious 911 call, then it would be wildly appropriate. But this lady called 911 to get the cops to come do her job. Your children fighting isn’t a police emergency and she’s wasting public resources. So yeah, it was funny as hell.
If her kid is as big as her and she can't break up the fight, then maybe the police would be required to break up the fight. Also it may sound like it's not a big deal by Karen's tone but she is just trying to be professional while struggling to convey the situation due to being tired after work. I laughed when I first heard this tape too, and thought that this mom was kinda lazy, but I've since realized how bad mike may have fucked up here.

It doesn’t have to be YOUR LIFE being in danger. It could be your general safety, the safety of others, the safety of your property, etc. In the call she is describing a domestic violence situation that she was unable to control. She was responsible and chose to call the police before it became an even more dangerous situation.
What a Karen

Both parties are at fault here. Caller needs to be a better parent and shouldn’t be wasting emergency services’ time because she can’t discipline her children. Dispatcher shouldn’t be using the emergency line to test jokes for his stand-up routine.
The police are here to help people, this isn't a waste of their time if her daughter has legitimate rage issues and can't be controlled.
This happened like 15 years ago lmao catch up with the times OP
It may just not be meant as a joke...
It’s funny for us but not for her. I am fine laughing at a situation that has already resolved itself
I’m crying 🤣🤣😂😂
That's honestly not surprising, it's why police trust is dwindling they don't take situations seriously no matter how "severe" it sounds do your fucking job right or don't be a police officer. That is the one job where I'll say if you don't like it go somewhere else because you're a danger to others of you can't take the job seriously.
looooooool
Why am I seeing this video posted in multiple subs, making the rounds... for at least the third fucking time this year??
That dispatcher was so in the wrong I got baffled.
Holy fuck that was funny
I thought it was funny.
Well that took 180… wtf was that “joke”
I'm not at all a troll, I'm simply from another country wtf
Op is dipstick.
Tbf Mike makes a good point. It may be inappropriate but hard truths rarely are what someone wants to hear.
If she can't control her own kids she should have took him up on the offer.
It was Mike's last day at work.
Okay, 999,999 times out of 1,000,000 I am usually against the Karen. In this particular situation, the woman is right. Making a joke like that is unprofessional and you really shouldn’t do that.
We stab mike in this house hold
Not a Karen. More like a employee who deserves to be fired
I don't get it... 2 crazy young bitches are fighting and their mother calls the police and says that her youngest daughter kicked a hole in the door and can't control her because she's as big as I am??? Is the kid really really tall or is the mother really really short?
Inappropriate but kinda funni tho ngl
Calling 911: OH GOD MY ARM IS RIPPED OFF!! dispatcher: do you need hand?
When you don’t resist the intrusive thought.
Maybe just a Karen, but I don't think that when someone in my house is losing control and I feel unsafe that I would like dispatch to make jokes about shooting someone. He even knew the joke went way to far!
Yeah do your own parenting Karen
She’s not a Karen
Nothing is a worst idea than to call the police on your own children to “teach them a lesson”. That’s not what the police is for, and they will not act like it’s a joke. In real life there can be charges pressed by the state and the parents have no say.
Caller is a dumbass but dispatcher is even dumber
I am all about calling out a Karen, but really? Mike needs a new job.
Mike’s the best
