Call 9-1-1, then Pray

When an ex-convict climbed through her window in Salt Lake City and stabbed her repeatedly four years ago, Breann Lasley says the emergency response system that should have rushed to send help to her ended up nearly costing her life.

She is now suing a Utah company [Priority Dispatch Corp] over what she says is a faulty 911 protocol that would have resulted in her death if a nearby police officer had not happened to hear her sister’s cries and intervened.
...
Lasley and her sister, Kayli, called 911 four times after [some Asswipe] broke in through Lasley’s window on Sept. 23, 2015, yelling out their address and saying, “Help us, he’s going to kill us,” according to the lawsuit filed Wednesday in Salt Lake City’s 3rd District Court.

The interesting twist is that the cop who capped the Asswipe was in the neighborhood because Asswipe tried to break into another house and he was dispatched on that call.

That a private company is involved may be the thing that gives some legs to this lawsuit. It's pretty settled law that the cops can sit across the street and eat donuts while you're being beaten and you (or your heirs) have no legal right to complain.

Anyone who says "you don't need (implement), just call 9-1-1" is a fool.
