Firenze Sage: Disgrace [no help from 911]

An Oregon woman was told by a 911 dispatcher that authorities wouldnâ€t be able be able to help her as her ex-boyfriend broke into her place because of budget cuts.

Oregon Public Radio reports that an unidentified woman called 911 during a weekend in August 2012 while Michael Bellah was breaking into her place. Her call was forwarded to Oregon State Police because of lay-offs at the Josephine County Sheriffâ€s Office only allows the department to be open Monday through Friday.

“Uh, I donâ€t have anybody to send out there,” the 911 dispatcher told the woman. “You know, obviously, if he comes inside the residence and assaults you, can you ask him to go away? Do you know if heâ€s intoxicated or anything?”  More information
