Clinton Jaws - Dispatcher bored with pursuit

Episode Date: July 9, 2020

I love dispatchers and think they do an amazing job in a stressful situation. But sometimes a cop just wants to fight the fight without goofy interruption. Cut the nonsense and leave the radio open. https://www.clintonjaws.com/

You're six-way confirming pursuit and how many do you have with you? Got one more unit. I've been shot at. Are you injured? He's trying to talk to, I don't know, maybe a supervisor. He's trying to explain things. He's got a lot going on his head. He doesn't have time to answer silly questions.

Okay? Sorry, dispatch, but are you injured? Really? if he's injured he's going to tell you do not interrupt this guy okay do not interrupt guess what happens after you ask that question

wasting time let's go to the next clip watch this are you hitting on depats with the air unit following the vehicle we want to try to combine channels are you injured he can't talk other people are talking on the radio now he's thinking while he's driving

I got to dodge these bullets and all this shit and I got to answer dispatch because dispatch asked the question that is ridiculous let the guy fight don't don't ask

goofy questions just so you I swear she's doing it just to make herself look important are you injured any injuries what's going on down there that would drive me crazy and the fact that I can't now now people are

talking and I'm my mic won't work because I can't get air airspace whatever you call it nowadays can't get in there you can't fully be engaged in the pursuit because dispatch wants to know if I'm injured there's more gets better it's Charlie four I'm not injured Okay, copy 15 seconds that took From the time she asked If he's injured

To the time he Finally answered her 15 seconds Could have been shot in those 15 seconds Doesn't even call him the right Charlie Charlie 1 are you injured And you hear his voice It's Charlie 4

And no I'm not injured Because if I was I'd let you know I'd probably stop He doesn't have time to tell you You know Charlie 1 are you you are you doing combat breathing? Let him fight the fight.

And you know she, oh my God, if I, I'm just, it's bringing me back. I can just picture myself in there, that moment. Having to relate nonsense. That's what it is, nonsense. It's dangerous to talk to that point.

And what did she say at the end? Okay, copy. Okay. Copy. Just say 10-4, okay? That's why we have 10 codes? Not we, but... Because I'm not a police officer anymore, but...

Just say 10-4. Okay, copy. Okay. How's the weather down there? You need you just know she turned to her... Dispatch, uh, friend. He's talking kind of rude to me. Just ask of you.

injured. It's not so much to ask. It's being rude. Okay. Let's hear that. We got to see. We got to hear the okay again. Okay. Coppe. Okay. Okay. Got you there. Good to know. Good to know. I asked the question. I asked if you had any injuries. Probably wondering why I get so worked up with this stuff, but I won't go away. I won't get into it right now, but But I'm sure she's really great. I mean, I don't mean to pick on our piece. She asked a couple of questions after that, and they were pretty good. But, okay.

Why is she saying okay? It's almost like she doesn't even know what car is in the fight. Who's fighting? Charlie won. You got any injuries? Eating some chocolates. You got any injuries? Charlie won?

Oh, okay. Okay, copy that. Let's move on.
