Chicago Teen Killed by Police Called 911 3 Times Asking for Help And Dispatchers Hung Up on Him
Quintonio LeGrier, Chicago teen fatally shot by police, called 911 three times the day he was killed. Dispatchers hung up on him when he called asking for help. The audio of the 19-year-old's calls that were made Dec.26 were released late Monday. LeGrier and Bettie Jones,55, were both shot.
LeGrier's first call, made at 4:18 a.m.,was asking police officers to be sent to his address. The last call was made 3 minutes later.
"There's an emergency, can you send an officer?" LeGrier can be heard saying on one of the calls. LeGrier didn't answer the officers questions so they hung up on him. Dispatchers asked LeGrier what was was wrong, he said," someone is ruining my life".
So officers shouldn't question someone who's calling for help like LeGrier did obviously there was a problem and for them to hang up on him multiple times is unacceptable. Police officers ended up killing him and its called a shooting accident. If officers would of came sooner, which they should of came because it was suspicious, it wouldn't have lend to this incident happening. Officers need to be more mature and control themselves.
It's unbelievable that the 911 operators are allowed to do things like that.
