#1  "We look forward to coming to court and defending this case in the proper forum," said Sutton's lawyer, David Lee.

Wanna guess the first thing Mr. Lee tries to do is to get the 911 tapes thrown out on a technicality?

#2 No, I think the union starts taking every call seriously.

#3 As a former 911 operator, you learn quickly which kids are playing around (laughing, refusing to get an adult on the line) and which ones are in some kind of trouble even if they can't articulate what the problem is (they are frightened, are indicating something bad is happening to mommy/daddy/whoever else is around, are crying, etc.)

The first operator should be facing some kind of felony charge, not just a willful neglect one. No way will I ever believe that blowing off a call like she did could possibly be standard operating procedure in any professional law enforcement agency. The second operator did the absolute minimum that would be required, but still had a major lack of judgment if she couldn't tell the difference between a kid playing on the phone and a kid trying to get help.

I only hope these two aren't still taking calls while the department decides what action they will take. Suspension without pay isn't strong enough in this case.

#4 ManSlaughter would be a charge I could understand for this non-performance of a job.
