I fail to see the issue here. It was a bad 911 call, sure. That isn't on the police or the dispatcher. They didn't harm her, or mistreat her from what I read. I don't see where the number of responding officers was relevant.

 

The only thing I would take issue with is that the officers refused to provide their identifying information when requested. It might not be required but they should do that.

 

The neighbor, however sounds like a racist jerk.

I'm glad we can agree on this one. Mostly for the reasons you mentioned.

 

It doesn't sound like the guy making the 911 call is a swell guy, but most people don't like being questioned for trying to do the right thing.b With that said he could have just as easily done nothing.

I seriously doubt most burglars use locksmiths to get into their targets homes. Evidently he was very hostile when questioned about it. He's a tool.

While I agree most don't use lock smiths to break into homes. It is easy to pretend to be something you're not to get into a home. Whether that be pretending to be a lock smith or the home owner you just don't know, it happens.

Sorry. We'll have to disagree on this one. I've seen plenty of locksmith's in action. I'd never confuse them for a burglar, especially given that they'd unlock the door and then leave. The neighbor is a putz. It isn't the police's fault but I'd be hard pressed to not think he is a racist tool.

No way 19 is normal.

 

Agreed. 19? And in Santa Monica? It's hard to get the PD to show up quick on anything in the LA area as they get tons of calls.

When the call came out to the Officers it was stated that there were possibly three suspects breaking into the residence.

Now, if a person is identified as the homeowner, and they tell the police what happened, in this case they locked themselves out of the home, and the home owner tells them that they do not want anyone in their home, is it proper for the police anyway? After they identified the homeowner and they said they didn't want anyone inside?

Agreed. In not disputing the urgency for the call.

Perhaps. I've seen the police called on the police, so that's why I have a hard time with they do their job then leave. As far as for a lock smith shouldn't be questioned.

No one knows if there was another reason that the neighbor called 911. But they do have to respond. Right away she mentioned race, and kept repeating it, she also didn't want to accept that the police can't just go only the word of the person that is in the home that they got the call about.

 

The post arrive conversion with her was over 45 minutes long, at least 35 minutes longer than it needed to be.

 

If she attempts to file charges or anything she will not get a dime.

But, if you listen to the 911 call the caller in fact does state that it was the next door neighbor. He said "the next door neighbor just broke into an upstairs apartment with two other people, with some sort of tools."

 

Seems like he knew who is was from the beginning.

 

Just listening to his voice and hers, I can very easily see where they have issues between each other.

I get that. From both sides. I've heard of a few dozen burglary calls being a civil matter. This sounds like at best.

I didn't realize you were there.
