Man shot after witnessing crime in Atlanta calls 911: 'Please hold'

An Atlanta restaurant employee who was shot while witnessing a crime was put on hold when he called Atlanta 911.

I've had that happen too, although it was small town and not a life or death emergency, and I was LIVID that this was even a practice.

If the operator(s) is unable to take the call, that line should forward to police dept. front desk, or dispatch supervisor, something, ANYTHING, other than muzak.

At the very least, take the call, assess the situation and then decide whether placing on hold is worthwhile.

Let me guess. You got a -1 down vote.
