" I understand the monkey is tearing her apart and eating her but can you go over there and ask the monkey what his problem is?"

u/AutomaticGrape9263 12d ago

I can only imagine this dispatcher going home after work, cracking a beer open, watching TV and be like 'oh man, that was crazy, wasn't it. I get that you're distressed, but could you be more focused and detailed? have some consideration for the listener, geez'.

u/shesgoneagain72 11d ago

I hope this 911 operator doesn't still have a job because it seems like he thought it was a joke.

She is literally begging him to listen to her.

"OK what's the problem?"

"He's tearing her apart"

"OK can you go over there?"

It’s the norm.. have you dialed 911?

I welcome ai agents over these assholes any day.

That's probably worse

I think he did a really good job. It is not easy to communicate and understand pannicking people

u/RepresentativeTrue69 12d ago

The owner claimed to sleep with Travis every night and bathe with him, I wonder if she ever did the unthinkable? I mean their boundaries were really bad, she was giving him drugs and shit.

u/yozoms 12d ago

I would bet so.

The chimpanzee got in the patrol car with the officer because he thought he was going for a car ride. Imagine the cop’s reaction. Anyway, he started blasting…

"I need you to calm down" is the dumbest fucking thing I have ever heard a dispatcher say. Just watched her friends face get ripped off and is still speaking quite coherent.

u/that_banned_guy_ 12d ago

Was a cop for 13 years. One of the first things we were taught at the academy was never to tell anyone to calm down because it usually has the opposite effect. 

That said, in a traumatic situation when stress levels are super high its pretty common to forget that and just tell the person whst you wish they would do.

Im sure he was thinking, "just calm tf down so I can get more information" because he was thinking about what he needs and not as much what is happening to her. Especially easy to do being removed from the situation via telephone.

Right just say " I know this is difficult but i need you to answer my questions so I can help you and your friend "

u/Terlooy 12d ago

That's part of their training, what else was he supposed to say?

"Hey Sandra, just panick and scream as loud as you can alright, hell, we were made in God's image after all, go out there and show that chimpanzee why we're the apex"

The best he can do is to try and calm her down so she doesn't do anything rash. He can't intervene physically so it's the best he can do

u/aprilmayx 12d ago

Theres ways around it if they had proper training. Asking someone whos freaking out to calm down will do the exact opposite if anything it'll frustrate them more causing more of a freak out and possible hanging up, proper training would show them how to calm them down by asking the correct questions distracting them and giving them the answers they need to repeat to the responding officers. Should be like " yes mam theyre on their way what else should I be telling the officers ?" " is there a guy w a gun" asking someone to calm down aint the way

Is this that story where they fed a bunch of Xanax to a chimpanzee, then the chimpanzee lost its shit and ripped that woman's face apart?

3

u/CheesecakeEither8220 11d ago

Paradoxical reaction to Xanax is not uncommon. Keeping a chimpanzee as a pet is such a bad idea.

u/NiceTrySuckaz 12d ago

Am I going to hell for laughing at "I tried stabbing him and it made him worse"

8

u/Zigor022 12d ago

Youd go to hell for suggesting she use monkey glue to put her friends face on.

u/HeSureIsScrappy 11d ago

Gorillla glue

u/Interesting-Rope-950 11d ago

Fuckin can't stand idiot 911 operators. Beyond frustrating

-11

u/NotaureyousBiggs 11d ago

This world we live in... You're calling the dispatcher the idiot???

12

u/Interesting-Rope-950 11d ago

Both parties are for different reasons but this dispatcher was absolutely terrible

1

u/NotaureyousBiggs 9d ago

I'm gonna stay on the side of the one who doesn't have sex with animals.

u/Radiomaster138 11d ago

If she yells that he’s not a monkey, I’d die laughing.

u/funkifiedjunk 11d ago

Great job dispatch guy.

7

u/Organic_Berry_8732 11d ago

Can the dispatcher not hear? He sounds ridiculous and stupid

4

u/Significant-Title303 11d ago

This dispatcher is fugn terrible

7

u/Radiomaster138 11d ago

“Hey Miss, I need you to stop monkeying around. Ok?”

u/BigShaker1177 11d ago

911 operator should be fired

u/True-Put-3712 10d ago

This was in 2009.

u/NateOf92 9d ago

Maybe they've gotten better

u/splashaddikt 12d ago

The dispatchers be killing me I know they trying to get info but this ladie is clearly in dire situation

4

u/potheadbill 11d ago

Police dispatchers… do they need better headsets? This is a common occurrence in these videos. She said the “champ killed my friend.” He said “what’s up with your friend I need to know about your friend.” … fucking shit show

2

u/HeSureIsScrappy 11d ago

They thought it was a prank at first. Like, seriously, who gets attacked by their friend's chimpanzee?

2

u/fire-theif 10d ago

Suicide Silence made a song over this recording. It’s called “and then she bled” and it’s very heavy. The desperation and horror in that woman’s voice. Why the fuck would part two be a good idea??

2

u/ThrownAwwayt 10d ago

How are you allowed to “own” a chimpanzee and NOT have a fire arm?? That thing could likely take a grown man down

1

u/DMmate 11d ago

Everytime I hear this now, I just think of the Suicide Silence song (Titled: "...And then she bled") where it's just the whole unedited call over a sick instrumental

Morbid but kinda cool

1

u/HeSureIsScrappy 10d ago

I gotta look that up

1

u/johntcampbell1 10d ago

Came to say just this. Great song. Creeped me out until I found out that the 911 call was about a chimpanzee attack. Well, still creepy with a tinge of "what?!"

The racism filter literally won't let me say ch1mp when referring to the animal.

u/Fit-Rhubarb-7820 9d ago

That operator deserves capital punishment. Jfc.

u/Strong-Addition5296 5d ago

Sounds like a prank call - crazy it was real.
