An emergency phone call between a distressed woman put in danger by a home intruder and a 9-1-1 operator who says she has no officers to dispatch perfectly illustrates the importance of gun ownership.
In the 9-1-1 phone call going viral on social media, a woman who locked herself inside her home explains to the operator her angry violent ex-boyfriend who has hospitalized her in the past is outside her home attempting to break in.
"You don't need a gun. The police will protect you!"
The police:

“My ex-boyfriend is trying to break into my house. I’m not letting him in, but he’s like trying to break down the door and he’s trying to break into one of the windows,” the woman tells the operator. “He put me in the hospital a few weeks ago and I’ve been trying to keep him away. I told him I was going to call. He’s now trying to break into the window. He’s trying to jimmy it open.”
Upon hearing the caller’s life is in danger, the operator proceeds to tell the woman there’s no officers available and that she’ll have to fend for herself, going on to tell the woman to ask her angry ex to “go away.”
“Okay. I don’t have anybody to send out there,” the operator says. “You know, obviously, if he comes inside the residence and assaults you, can you ask him to go away or do you know if he’s intoxicated or anything?”
The woman stays on the phone with the operator a while longer explaining the circumstances that led up to the phone call, however, the dispatcher ultimately tells her “the Sheriff’s Office doesn’t work up there. I don’t have anybody to send. And we don’t dispatch for him. Like I said, it’s an unfortunate situation.”
“Okay, I’ll have to take care of myself, I guess,” the woman concedes.
As it turns out, the recording is a 2013 call from Josephine County, Oregon, and ended with the woman who couldn’t receive a police response being choked and raped by her angry ex.
The Daily Mail reported the sheriff’s department in question at the time lacked funding:
The cash-strapped sheriff’s department in the county had been forced to lay off 23 of its 29 deputies after losing millions in federal aid. The remaining six officers had their shifts slashed to eight hours Monday through Friday.
Unfortunately for the woman faced with an out-of-control jilted lover, her 911 call came on a Saturday.
Eventually, the crazed man forced his way into the house, choked his former girlfriend and raped her without no one there to stop him.
The suspect, Michael Bellah, was later arrested and pleaded guilty to kidnapping, assault and sex abuse.
The incident is being highlighted as a prime example of why people should own firearms to defend themselves, rather than rely on police who when needed in a second’s notice are minutes away.
