“There’s no such thing as a routine traffic stop,” we hear a lot in this business. Unfortunately, that’s not exactly true. There are a lot of stops that look the same. They’re harmless, meaningless, and routine. And cops and dispatchers can get comfortable. And then somebody gets shot in the face.

“Yeah, I need you to send someone right now. My kid is out of control.”
“Is that him screaming in the background?”
“Yeah. I took his Xbox away, and I’m trying to get him to go to school. I need someone to come over here and make him go to school.”
“We can’t make him go to school either. Is he violent?”

"911?”
“Yes, the power is out in my neighborhood …”
“Yes, ma’am, we are getting a lot of calls …”
“Well, when is it going to be back on?”
“I don’t know, but I can give you the number for the power company.”
“Okay, but can you tell me what happened?”
“I don’t know just …”
“You don’t know?”
“Okay … it’s, uh, probably a busted flux capacitor.”
“Oh, that sounds serious. Well, thank you.”
“You’re very welcome.”
