Nobody is coming to help you
A Chicago mom who called 911 during a terrifying break-in was left on her own for hours — with dispatchers telling her to call her local representative to demand more police funding.
Michelle called the emergency hotline six times after coming face-to-face with two masked bandits, only for the strained supervisor to tell her the city’s severe budget cuts had left them with a bare-bones staff.
“A gentleman got on and said sorry to say we have no units to send you … then there was an awkward pause,” Michelle told NBC Chicago Wednesday...
“He also recommended I call my alderman and I said why, and he said encourage him to hire more police. The dispatcher also asked me if I would consider defending myself … if I had a weapon or considered getting one.”
Note the bolded statement. This is the reality of living in a major metropolitan area, especially one run by Democrats. Crime is up and police are down. You are on your own, possibly for hours. You need to be aware of that and prepared to do what is necessary to save yourself. A gun, a flashlight, and a fire extinguisher are your best friends in an emergency. Semper Paratus, always be prepared.
