I’m a former firefighter, medic, and 9-1-1 dispatcher & call taker for fire & EMS. Hands down working in dispatch was far more emotionally draining than working in the field and over the years I had some really insane calls (for example a pregnant woman called because a methhead was literally trying to cut her baby out of her with a knife).
@@NickyBlue99 yup ... you don't shoot people ... or use violence when there are alternatives for settling disputes. Is this your first time here?...and hearing Bruce's sage advice?
For anyone curious about the man shot by his wife, hiding in the bathroom-His name was Dylan Hustosky (27), an off duty police officer. His wife Kayleigh (29) broke through the door at the end of the 911 call and the last bang was her shooting him in the arm a second time. He managed to push past her and run out of the house. He passed out a block or two away from the house. She took her own life and was later discovered by police. Dylan had surgery and made a full (physical) recovery. They’d been married 2.5 years and had a 3 year old son. No motive was ever found, though it was likely premeditated bc she had sent the son to stay somewhere else before the shooting. There was no history of DV or police calls to the house, no note, and neither Dylan nor the police were ever able to learn where she got ahold of the gun she used (it wasn’t Dylan’s). Such a weird case. I hope he’s getting therapy and that he and his son are doing ok!
Thank you! I just looked it up and posted that he survived cause... that was brutal. My understanding is that the motivation was her infidelity..... She tries to kill him because she cheated. Wtf.
@@rathersleepthanstayawakezzzespecially when children do not have a full grasp of what they’re doing on a developmental level. Not to diminish any horrific actions taken (say, that 15 year old who did her mother in when she found her penjamins, and nearly got her stepdad, AND BROUGHT HER FRIEND TO BE TRAUMATIZED BY THE INCIDENT), but the double standards children face (hitting them is fine, but don’t hit an adult, or you’ll go to jail) is sickening. Adults need this exact same scrutiny if they commit the same crimes, and are even more capable of them at worse scales. Kids only ever accomplish smaller scale tragedies because they don’t have: the power, the money, the brains, and other resources that they’re denied based on their ages. If a kid had the smarts, and drive to cause the next world changing attack, we would have had it by now. The Columbine dillheads do not count, their wide scale destruction failed because of their poor brainpower. Just remember those guys wanted the place up in flames, and it didn’t happen.
Ruby Frankie son saved not only his own life but also his siblings lives as well, when he went to the neighbor's house to seek help. He is a true hero. It is heartbreaking how this neighbor cares more about this child than his own parents. You can actually hear it in his voice.
AMEN 🙏 🙏 🙏 🙏 🙏 🙏 🙏 I just remember 🙏 ❤ & take comfort in the words 🙏 ❤ spoken by our Lord & Saviour Jesus Christ 🙏 ❤, "Woe to anyone who harms one of these little ones that it would be better that a millstone were hanged around your neck & you were thrown into the sea" 🙏 ❤...It's in the book of Matthew if you aren't familiar with it or don't know of it...Jim Caviezel even used that scripture & quoted it in the film Sound of Freedom 🙏 ❤...He added it into the film without ANYONE KNOWING that he was going to do that in the scene & THANKFULLY they left it in the scene of the film because it was so POWERFUL & it FIT the scene PERFECTLY 🥰 🙏 ❤...
And Ruby's sisters are just as bad. One of them has a couple of videos of her bragging about how well-behaved her toddlers are because she can place them on a blanket on the floor and leave them there for hours. She doesn't admit to it, but it is called "blanket training" and you "train" the child, from the time they are old enough to crawl, by teasing them off the blanket with a favorite toy and then beating the baby, usually with a flexible ruler or pvc pipe, when it crawls off the blanket trying to get to the toy. It is something Mike and Debi Pearl have promoted in their book "To Train Up a Child." They also promote other forms of "discipline," such as withholding food (sound familiar?). They also have a video out there where Mike shows how to beat a child without leaving marks, using a doll for demonstration. Michelle Duggar said in her book that when she discovered blanket training, it was an "amazing thing to behold." She and her husband also used to promote the Pearls' book......until people started learning just exactly what blanket training is. Not many people openly admit they blanket train, like Ruby's sister, but that is exactly what they are doing. They just no longer publicly use the term.
I'm a 911 emergency operator and dispatcher for a major metropolitan city in the southeast and watching this as I finish up my normal 10 hour shift and start my overtime for the night! I can say with 100% sincerity that this is the best job I've ever had. I adore what I do and the people I work with. Some days are certainly harder than others, and I definitely have had calls that I will remember for the rest of my life. But I'm in a position to help people in such a unique and acute way, the schedule is great, and it's hard to beat the benefits. Thank you for shining a spotlight on what we do, sir. We don't do it for the accolades, but we're thankful for the appreciation. As always, please stay safe. And if you ever need us (although I hope you never do), you know my number!
Have a friend of mine who is training to become a 911 dispatcher. He had the unfortunate luck to have answered a call during training that turned out to be his mother calling 911 after being run over by a car. He didn’t realize it was his mother until getting a text from his dad on his break. He listened to the recording of the call and he had clearly recognized her at the time and completely blocked it out of his memory. The crap dispatchers deal with is not recognized enough.
Wowww! Hope they’re both ok now! Idk if I could deal mentally, being a dispatcher. Kuddos to them all, but some are horrible that I’ve listened to in some 9-11 calls. ❤prayers!
@@colspiracy8326 She had a few cracked ribs, some scrapes and a torn ligament in her knee, but she was walking around at the car show her family runs the next weekend. She seemed to be doing alright. Still a traumatic experience for everyone involved.
@@sparroew7637 Ah that's good. 👍 I unfortunately witnessed a pedestrian get run over about a month ago. They weren't so lucky.☹️. It was very traumatic. Enjoy every day like its your last. God bless 👍🙏
I’ve only called 911 once; I was 5-years-old. My little brother had woken me up in the middle of the night to tell me that mom was gone. Together we searched the whole house and couldn’t find her. We couldn’t look outside because the door was locked with a key. I remember feeling so panicky and scared, but I remembered that in kindergarten that week we’d learned that we could call 911 in an emergency; and this definitely seemed like an emergency to my 5-year-old self. I don’t recall exactly what I told the 911 operator, but I do remember that talking to her made me feel more calm and almost like a grown-up was there. She stayed on the phone with me until the police officer knocked on the door. It’s been a very long time since that happened, but I’ll never forget how that operator calmed me down, which in turn calmed down my brother. She made us feel safe in a terrifying situation for 2 little kids. (The tl;dr on where my mom was: the cop found her on the far side of the neighborhood making out with her boyfriend in his car. I don’t know if they were doing more and don’t want to know, lol. But yeah, she left us alone because she wanted to go pretend she was a teenager again with her boyfriend.)
@@Vox-Multis No. The police officer just gave her a very long lecture. When mom got in the house after the cop left, she yelled at us for calling the police because “he acted like I’m a bad mother or something”. I got in trouble again a couple years later because she forgot me at the grocery store and an employee noticed me looking lost. After paging my mom multiple times over the PA system, and calling my house (this was before cell phones were common), the store manager called the cops. When she finally showed up, she got lectured by these cops too and once we were back in her car, I got yelled at again even though I didn’t call the police this time. Great mom, huh?
"Lemme tell ya something...you don't shoot people." "I don't think counseling is going to help these two.." Lol His commentary on these calls is just absolute GOLD!
911 operators dont get enough credit. I did grand jury duty and the first week I cried 3 times. I was so mentally drained when I left each day... And this is coming from someone who loves true crime everything, videos, podcasts, books etc. I have a completely different perspective since doing that. I gained a new respect for law enforcement, firefighters, medics, attorneys, judges, jurors... it was a crazy, but fulfilling duty (no pun intended ) and everyone should do it at least once. As always love the content, Bruce & Michael!
I wish we were better to our jurors. I would honestly be happy to do jury duty IF I wouldn't lose so much money that I'd have to choose between keeping a roof over my head or a car to take me to work. The way things are in my state, if I get jury duty, I'd lose so much work that I basically have no choice but to to tell them I know about jury nullification and like it just so they boot me and I don't lose everything. What is it now, 64% of Americans living paycheck to paycheck, unable to afford a $500 emergency, yet you have to lose a paycheck or more just to serve jury duty in most of the US.
@@TheAwesomes2104 yeah that is awful. I got lucky and my job also pays me for being out. I wouldn't have been able to do it either if it weren't for that!
@@TheAwesomes2104yup. My husband got summons and he’s telling them he can’t be impartial. His job won’t cover pay and he’d be getting ike $30/day and we can’t survive on that obv
I have always wanted to be on a jury! I think I’m the only person on earth who gets excited when I get jury duty 😅. Haven’t been selected yet, but maybe one day. I think it’s such important work!
@TheAwesomes2104 I mean your job is legally (by law) is supposed to pay you a full 8 hours pay. Maybe that might not be 100% at some small mom and pop shops but I get paid fully when I had to appear on jury duty without any question. I showed them my summons and they understood completely.
I'm a father of 4 and I just want to commend you for speaking so frankly out against child abuse and not mincing your words until you're a parent you never fully realize what everyone says about how strong a love the love of a child really is, they should be guided, protected and loved unconditionally and Im a big bearded long haired rough kind of man but my kids turn me into a teddy bear and i would die to protect them, it baffles me someone could hurt a child much less their own, its beyond my comprehension
Best call was when a woman called 911 and told her boyfriend she was ordering pizza. The operator asks: if he is armed, say you want pepperoni on your pizza. that was so smart
911 operators need a better training on how to calm people down. When I was a kid, I had to call the cops because someone broke into my house while I was alone. The operator got mad because I was crying on the phone and she hung up. I was able to call again and the next operator was really nice & basically solve the situation (he told me to scream lol, the intruder ran when I did that). Though, it was kinda fucked up because no one believed me when I said that the first operator didn't help me... :/
What! I hope they were fired. That’s awful. I get so upset when I hear some 911 operators being aholes to people in serious need. The whole “MAAM MAAM CALM DOWN OR I WONT HELP YOU” bs. So glad you were ok tho, that could have gone so much worse. So so glad.
@@HeatherHolt thank you! Why on earth would someone be a dispatcher if they aren't calm and caring people. Dispatchers are heroes. It's a select few that have what it takes.
What are they supposed to do to calm people down...? Other than say calm down. Are they supposed to do breathing exercises with the caller...? They're there to gather info and get help to where it's needed...
As a dad of two wonderfull toddlers I couldn't be angrier with the second call. Bruce, you're providing a great (public) service when you defend children the way you do. I couldn't agree with you more, children should be loved and protected at all times... even when they act like ''little shits''.
I'm sure this is an excellent episode but I finally got over my PTSD from years of 911 dispatch. I love seeing the kind words in the comments. Thank you all so much...
Thank you! What a huge relief to finally get over your PTSD. I've had more than a decade of it after one trauma, then another... I know how much damage it could cause to your life. Stay healthy & God bless 🙏🏼
My friend was a public defender in family court in L.A. and she had to defend parents or guardians in abuse or SA cases. The thing was is one parent or relative would accuse a parent or guardian of SA when there was none. She said it really took special people to un-brainwash a coached kid. They would say what the adult told them to say. It took real pros to break through that s***. She transferred to defending kids in the foster system. It was hard to believe how adults will mess with a kid’s mind and usually nothing happens to them.
And as Bruce pointed out, the jury is going to want to believe the child, so the defense is fighting an uphill battle from the get-go. The most famous of these situations is probably the McMartin Preschool Trial, where some kids were actually made to testify that horrible things had been done to them. Those things never happened, but they still ended up suffering real trauma as a result of all this. The poor kids were victims of their own "defenders" rather than the accused.
Sadly 😢 I grew up with a crazy birth mother who used us kids as pawns against our father & had attempted to brainwash us to say lies about our father...My younger brother & I were placed in foster care for 6 months & after those 6 months, we were finally 🙏 ❤ placed in the custody of our father & stepmother 🙏 ❤ where we grew up in a much MORE STABLE environment & HOME 🙏 ❤...To this day, I consider my stepmother to BE MY MOM 🙏 ❤...Without her raising me there's NO TELLING how I would've ended up OR survived this life 🙏 ❤...She instilled in me morals & values as well as teaching me how to cook & clean WHICH are ALL things NEITHER of our 2 older sisters HAVE OR KNOW who were old enough to choose to stay with our birth mother!!!!!! My oldest sister has ALWAYS been jealous, envious & attempts to compete 🙄 or copy me over or on ANYTHING & EVERYTHING!!!!!!!! And, she absolutely hates the FACT that our father & I have a different relationship than what they have & she's ALWAYS attempting to cause friction between our father & I...She's so much like our birth mother, she CAN'T tell the TRUTH on ANYTHING even IF her life depended on it!!!!!!!! I completely stopped trying to have a relationship with her FINALLY years ago!!!!!! It was NO LONGER any good for my own mental health...
@@pamelafrye4667You deserve your happy life as does your true parents . The only thing to do with toxic people is cut off all contact if possible . You can never change them into good .
@bestgirl1420 Thank you 😊 🙏 ❤️ for your very nice comment...I was attempting to have a relationship with my oldest sister for our father because he wants all 4 of his kids together with him for visits as much as possible since he's older now...But, I finally had to just stop about 4 to 5 years ago because it was taking a toll on MY mental health & I had to make the decision to put MYSELF first...Unfortunately I've ALWAYS been the one in the family who is the people pleaser & trying to keep the peace & make everyone else happy WHILE being unhappy myself...I've been working on CHANGING that about myself these last few years 🙏 🙏...I have to remind myself that I'm NOT being selfish & that it's for the BEST that I'm doing everything that I'm doing... It's been hard at first because my father & the family DON'T always understand OR respect me, but I'm standing my ground...I'm pretty much the black sheep of the family, so I'm used to how they treat me anyway...I've got my Lord & Saviour Jesus Christ 🙏 ❤️ & my Heavenly Father Lord God 🙏 ❤️ & to me, they're ALL 🙏 ❤️ I need anyway 🙏 ❤️...God bless you 🙏 ❤️ & your family 🙏 ❤️...
It happens the other way too. The abusive parent will cry parental alienation and get the judge to give them custody and disallow all contact with the nonabusive parent and gaslight the child into recanting the abuse. I read about one kid who was forced to stay with his dad who SA’d him for three months, after he accused his dad, until videos were found showing the dad abusing him and the cops arrested the dad. I can’t imagine being that kid or his mom who wasn’t even allowed to talk to him for three months while she knew he was with the abusive dad.
I 100% agree with your views about children. I would add that it’s absolutely disgusting for any adult to do horrible stuff to any child for any reason. Absolutely unacceptable.
100% it's awful. And it's so horrible how our "justice" system handles them. If you really want to ruin your day in the US just look up the convicted s-offenders in your county and see how little time they did for what they did. Not a single one in my county did over 2 and a half years. It's vile, we know these people reoffend, but just let them out in a couple years anyways.
The US should - like the rest of the civilised world - make corporal punishment illegal. This is my country: "Sweden was the world's first nation to outlaw all corporal punishment of children in 1966. It is estimated that approximately 5% of Swedish children continue to be illegally spanked, however, in addition to being unlawful, physical punishment of children is now considered socially unacceptable."
Broken jaw. Black eye. Clothing iron to the head while sleeping. Forced intercourse. Abandoned while pregnant. I lived with this as a young woman, but I left. Escaped. I didn’t ask for any of it. Even if would have been an asshole, there would be no excuse to beat me. Thanks for advocating against violence towards women.
Wow I’m so sorry you went through all that. I agree with your point and I HATE when people want to justify violence… there’s no excuse ! It’s unacceptable to hurt someone.
I'm so sorry you went through that. But I'm also so proud of you for getting out of it, and for speaking about it here today. It's so important to be able to share these stories. I know you already know this, but as someone who also went through abuse, I just want to remind you it is in no way your fault at all. Like I said I know you know that, but it never hurts to hear it again. :)
As a 911 dispatcher who dispatches for my county SO, EMS, and Fire thank you for the kind words. It can be hard not to take these things home with you. We do debriefs after these types of calls with the 1st responders. We have a crisis management team that come is and we all sit around a table and tell our stories from our POV and we help each other understand what was done and why. It's nice to hear that there was nothing more that you could have done in the situation. I know with a bad call I usually second guess the things i say and do in a situation, how you could have done things different or better. We had a murder in our county last year (we don't usually have those types of things very often) and I second guessed everything i did that night. I feel like it's a thankless job most of the time, a lot of people don't think of us a first responders. Most people don't call us because they are having a good day. so thank you for the appreciation
Some of the comments I've seen on here on comments about being 911 dispatchers are so ....disappointing. u guys are literally the 1st response to someone's most terrible, most traumatic moment of their lives.... and what u do, how u treat them, the things u say are quite important. U play ur role in making sure the police officers, paramedics, firefighters have some sort of insight of what they're about to walk upon. Pls take good care of yourself. Xo
Thank you.. it’s not just answering phones.. there are some hard things that you have to listen to and respond appropriately.. you can’t clam up or freak out.. one of my coworkers actually listened to a girl in a burning car take her last breath.. I had a girl call because he boyfriend was drunk and was playing Russian roulette with his guns that weren’t supposed to be loaded but this one was and he shot himself in the face.. it’s hard to listen to the crying and screaming because you feel helpless.. it’s definitely not for the faint of heart.. it took me about a year or so for my heart not to stop when 911 rang..
I found your TH-cam channel in the last month and I LOVE your sense of humor. Sometimes things are so horrible that you have to laugh to digest the information. Thank you for making me laugh while being informative.
Worked in dispatch for years and I loved it. I have taken these calls and they are heavy but at the end of the shift, you hope you’ve helped someone when they needed it the most. 🖤💛🖤 When people wonder how the job goes, I would tell them “when you get drunk and mad at your baby daddy later on tonight, you’re going to call and yell at me about it. And I will have to have my nice customer service voice because…recording and court.”
found the update in the last 911 call, unfortunately the grandson passed away.. he was only 19 😞 eta: the grandpa also died, he spent about 4 months in jail until he was transferred to a hospital for health issues and died
She shot him and then shot herself… that’s so terrifying. Thank god the 3 yr old wasn’t home when this happened or she would have possibly shot and killed the kid! They were married for 2.5 years with a 3 year old so… god that’s just wild. I had to read about it bc that call was so scary. He could have shot her and didn’t and it’s so sad now the baby is without a mom. But unless she had serious mental issues I can’t have much sympathy for her being the aggressor.
It’s insane how this channel has become one of my favorites so quick! Amazing production and i love the knowledge of law I learn from Bruce. Keep up the great content
I was a 911 operator for all of 6 months. Being on the end of a call, listening to something happening that you can't stop, is a horrifying experience. The only thing worse is that most of the time we never found out who survived or not. Eventually the call ends because they hang up, or you have to let them go because the first responders have arrived, or for whatever reason. Then you have to take the next call. That was over 10 years ago and there are some calls I still think about.
I remember the phone calls from passengers on 9/11. Some of the operators prayed with them, took down notes for their families, just listened to their plans to commendier the plane back, and worse, hearing the line go dead. I'm sure that they must have counselors to talk with. That would have to be mandatory, I would think. I don't think I could do this for a job. ❤
I love the way u talk about children, and being a parent to small children in other videos. You’re one of the most genuine people I watch Bruce! I hope one of your kids give u a grand baby one day, seeing you as a gpa would be awesome! I still would rather see you in action in the courtroom! 😜
I think he and his son both have hearts of gold!!! To help us all have a better understanding of the law and have a sense of humor about it all is truly a gift!!! 😊👍
Hello Bruce and Michael! Just want to say that I love, love, love your channel! Found it recently while I’m home recovering from horrible MVA. Some guy almost took me out by not paying attention! Anyway, I’m binge watching! Thank you guys for the hard work 🥰
The volume levels for the show are finally the same! Great job! I usually have to turn my system down so I don't blow my speakers on your intro, it's great but so much louder than the show. This was perfect! Good video. Thanks for postin’! Cheers from H-Town!
Thank you Bruce, I’ve been watching since you first started your channel but now I’m in the middle of my 1L year, learning about self-defense and homicide. Watching your video is like a little review session for me!
Michael - Love the videos, love that you’re working with your Dad, and it’s great to see that your channel is growing! However, you need more than the 3 outdated playlists that are currently set up for your channel. Think of all your new subscribers: playlists are very helpful when you want to binge-watch old content. Also, I wanted to find parts 2&3 of Bruce reacting to JCS’ video about Jodi Arias (since the first part was so interesting), but after a detailed search I couldn’t find them. Perhaps they were never filmed, despite Bruce’s intro, or perhaps they were mistakenly removed. Please continue making your wonderful content, just include a little more organization. Thanks! 🥰
We've been waiting for part 2 and 3 for a very very long time. I sure hope they decide to upload it soon. Especially when Bruce spruced us all up to watch it in part 1.
Despite the heart breaking and frustrating moments in the video, Bruce always knows how to get a belly laugh out of me LOL. Love the vids as always Bruce and The Almighty Content Genius Michael 🥰
I really enjoyed this episode! Thanks for keeping the content entertaining, Bruce, and thanks for the awesome ideas to have your Dad react to, Content Genius Michael. Appreciate the time you both put in to make these videos. Must be fun hanging out while you do, though. To be a fly on that office wall… ;)
So, Bruce has talked a little about discipline (and not hitting kids) in this and the main Ruby Frankie video. One thing that was really formative for me was when my oldest was in preschool they had some parenting guidance at the same time. One of the early education counselors mentioned that we commonly think of discipline only as punishment - but the word means so much more than that. When you really think of "discipline", it's about acting properly, effectively. There is so much more to teaching children how to act/behave than just punishment, and I think we need to focus on that. Discipline is teaching my kids that I apologize when I'm wrong, so they can see that it's part of acceptable behavior. Discipline is teaching them that they don't need to lie about "the little things" because it's ok. Everyone screws up, mistakes happen, and honesty and communication are more important than hiding mistakes. Punishment is an aspect, but it shouldn't be viewed as the main or primary method for discipline.
FWIW, our daughter is now in the middle of her teen years and she's a kind, caring, honest, responsible person who is as rational and communicative as any teenager ever is. We've never disciplined her in the classic American sense of physically assaulting her. I believe one key thing we've done ever since she was young enough to understand us is to explain *why* when we asked her to do or not do something. We've never said, "Because I say so!" when she asked why she couldn't do or have something. We respected her and expected the same in return from her. We've also never lied about being all-knowing and never making mistakes, and when we've screwed up, we've acknowledged that and apologised if it caused problems for her. In short, we've always treated her like another human being, and that does seem to have paid off in us having a teenager in the house who is quite nice person rather than a sullen, obnoxious little a-hole who communicates in grunts.
Oh man the guy that shot his grandson, William miller, his grandson died. That’s so sad. What an ahole. Apparently the grandson actually lived in the house so it wasn’t even a “get out” situation.
Oh my God! What an absolute catastrophe! Just from the short 9-1-1 call, it sounds like nobody in the household was able to mitigate the effect of Grandfather shooting his wife's grandson. No First Aid. People in shock watching their grandson die. If everyone knew Basic First Aid, so many lives could be saved.
@@vallejomach6721 He is probably still answering to the Highest Court in the Universe, the One that calls us all to account --- without exception. ((not talking fire and brimstone, but something perhaps deeper and more lasting in it's effects.))
I agree, children are precious. They can drive you crazy but that's a you problem. Take a breath, walk away, then discipline with reason, love and a sense of stability.
These 911 calls are so revealing about the dark underbelly of our society. I hope you do more as a supplement to the trial reactions. Thank you, Bruce and Michael. ❤
I’ve seen some people react to this with the “what is the world coming to” spiel. None of this is new, it’s always been a part of human life. If anything it’s just more documented now Crime has been falling for the past 30 years, but the news and fear mongering will tell you different thanks to more footage of what’s always existed
I LOVE your content! My husband hears your voice and says, " oh is that THAT guy again?" And he knows I'll be laughing soon. He laughs too! Of course we mindful of all the serious stuff.☺️ you and your son are the best!!!
These 911 calls are way easier to listen to when you are commentating! I’ve listened to stuff like this before and it was sad af, but you make it less intense and more entertaining and educational
I've been a paramedic in a big city suburb for over a decade, I've seen some Ish... I could NEVER handle being a dispatcher!!! They have nothing but my utmost respect.
I was watching a show where they were playing the most absurd 911 calls, where one was a 7-year old child calling for help with his homework. His mother was in the bathroom getting ready for work, so she was absolutely appalled when she asked him who he was speaking to. As a betting person, I’d say that kid was not going to have a great day!
I heard that one. I think the operator helped the kid with the problems he was having. Wellll….I guess his parents told him whenever he needed help to call 911 🤷🏻♀️🤷🏻♀️
Have a coworker that a couple weeks ago had some kids bust the rear window out of his car. The next day while at work he called 911 to get a copy of the police report despite all of us telling him not to call 911 to call dispatch or the number on the card the officer gave him. He said calling dispatch was too difficult because he had to listen to the extension options. I about lost my mind. The ignorance and laziness is ridiculous to me. He for real called 911 to request a copy of a report. I lost all respect for him that day
I love you guys, too! ❤ You feel like old friends. I can't remember how long ago I subscribed to your channel, but I've never been disappointed, and have always felt smarter after watching. You both rock!
I don't imagine that you or yours will see a comment such as this, but I must: Your beautifully-trimmed beard (would this be any other way?!) and the dark and grey color mixture is great. Added to your ever-dapper look, it works well. (I had figured that you would be keeping it just for a little while after the grand motorcycle trip.) Many cheers. I always am glad to have found you. It is no wonder that your life has given you a beautiful family and many gifts -- all well earned!
I was a 911 operator for 12 years.... very stressful job where you need to keep your composure in the worst days of the callers' lives. It is also a job that affects you physically, emotionally and your health in general. PTSD, from being on the receiving side of some terrible calls, sleep deprivation and let's talk about the not seeing your family every other weekend and on holidays. All 911 operators should receive so much more recognition for the essential and difficult job they do.
Thank you Michael for the great content always. You and your Dad are a fantastic team. I absolutely love Bruce's take and humor on what we're watching. Thank you!
Theres a 911 call where the victim was calling and dispatch couldn't really understand her. The dispatch was extremely rude. But, when you find out the womans freaking jaw was shot off so she couldn't really talk well makes the dispatch even worse. Im surprised she could talk at all. She was trying so hard too. Theres a hbo show called "dead men talk" where the dispatch gets a call with a woman moaning. You hear the dispatcher say "i think she's dying" it was so heartbreaking. The woman was dying. Dead when they got there. She was raped and stabbed. But while the cops were there, the killer lit a bed on fire in nextdoor apartment. The apartment burnt down and her body was burned.
There's a 911 call put there that seriously broke my heart. I don't remember the callers name but she was in her car and the road was flooded, carrying her car away. The 911 dispatcher wasn't taking her seriously, almost mocking her. The caller ended up drowning inside her car, on a flooded road, because that dispatcher waited til the very last minute to send help. If I remember correctly, it was like a 40min call.
@LegendaryTony. I think so but this poor woman probably didn't think to try that. It's really a heartbreaking call, especially knowing what the outcome was. It's here on TH-cam, although I can't recall the woman's name. I wanna say her first name was Mary but I could be totally wrong. The caller was even apologizing to the dispatcher for freaking out, even though it was the dispatcher who was giving _her_ attitude! She was on the phone the whole entire time, telling the dispatcher how high the water was getting inside the car and even that she could see people looking at her and she was wondering why they weren't trying to help. At the end, they showed a picture of the woman's car, it was washed into a group of trees. Poor lady would still be here today if that 911 operator had just sent help immediately.
@@BlackStump172 I remember a call from Australia where a girl had been brought to a house but started to get a bad feeling so she fled and hid behind some bushes. She called emergency services, whispering obviously, and the dispatcher was being so rude, asking her to speak louder and why she was hiding in bushes. The caller ended up being murdered. Terrible terrible stuff, man.
great episode as always. I grew up watching Rescue 911 on PBS and as a kid it made me scared of life ! Alligator attacks, electrocution! More of these please bc your reactions help ease the shock of the calls in a nice balanced way
That Ruby Franke one is the worst. I’ve seen some of her videos where she films her with her kids and giving out “advice” on parenting. Just to think she had those poor kids literally being tortured in the next room makes me sick.
Hey Bruce and Michael for another crazy video. My sister was a 000 operator on night shift for quite a few years. She won a big award from the police commissioner,for talking a Criminal down,who was ready to shoot a lot of people. She had to give it away in the end,as it can really play with your mental health. These professionals are Amazing people ❤
I was not expecting to hear a friend's 911 call on this video. 😢😢😢 Thank you for high lighting the amazing 911 operators they are the calm during the storm.
This is such a serious video but I really lost it when you said ‘evidently… grandpa doesnt like him…’😂😂 man idk, didn’t have my coffee yet- that really got me
Been enjoying your work. Thanks for making the time to produce this ( you and your boss). Just retired from long term care Administration and if those walls could talk! Anyway, appreciate you finding the humor whenever possible....we need folks like you on the airwaves (and the planet).
That last call was William Miller, 73, after he shot his grandson, Evan Holcombe, 19, in the chest. Evan died at the scene. William died of natural causes in jail while awaiting trial. I think the person crying was probably the grandmother because you can hear Evan's agonal breathing in the background. That poor kid.
Bruce, the caller in the Ruby Franke case was holding back tears and trying to keep the little boy calm. The phone call was heart wrenching to listen to. He had heard about trouble over there, and felt bad, as he didn't know it was that bad. She's been doing this for years. Two young people in their early 20's posted on social media what Hildebrand did to them, and this is what she had been doing to the Franke kids. I'm with you, everything can be talked through, even with a toddler. I don't even use time out. I do have them sit, calm down, quiet down, and we talk through what the problem is,each one getting a chance to talk. My girls didn't even go through the mouthy stage. They never went through the rebellious stage, though I kept waiting. I just made sure they didn't grow up like me. If they did get in trouble, the only thing they went without were computer privileges, phone privileges, or toys (when younger). I did threaten to use duct tape on my mouthy nephew, but never would have gone through with it. But, the Franke case is heartbreaking.😢
As a parent, and a human, that call brought tears to my eyes. Such treatment of children is SO different from my family, my neighbors, and my friends as to be incomprehensible. If a child appeared at my door in such a condition I would at the least be 'holding back tears'!
To be fair, I never went through a rebellious stage or a mouthy stage. I was, and I quote “a perfect child” yeah, ends up I have a whole load of issues… autistic, ADHD, antisocial disorder (though that one is being argued since it has gotten better with age). It’s probably not your parenting style, it’s probably your kids since many many kids still go through those stages, even with wonderful parents. And please PLEASE if they show ANY symptoms of anything, take them in. My parents forced me into a bad space thanks to their ignorance despite there being many red flags waving inches from their face.
Children who haven't been through abuse like that usually think of a suggestion like duct taping their mouths shut as silly and absurd and recognize that it's not serious. I joke with my nieces all the time that, if they don't stop using my stools as mini slime tables, as they do, that I'll glue their feet to the ceiling fan and turn it on. Or I'll tell them to get out of my car and walk home. They think it's hilarious because they know I'd never do them that way, and no one's ever done them like that before. But if I was to make a joke like that one day and they took it too seriously, I'd be really concerned.
My grandson wouldn’t stay in the house in winter one year at 4 years old and I told him I was going to duct tape him to the ceiling. He thought oh cool and asked where the tape was because he wanted to hang out on the ceiling. That plan backfired. Instead I put a chain lock on the doors and he decided to go through the dog door next. Poor dogs lost that dog door for a couple weeks. Then when it snowed and froze over he decided it was too cold and he wasn’t interested in outside for a while.
I know a few people who worked in 911 dispatch. Most of them didn't last for more than a year. One of them described getting physically ill before going in to work--sweating palms, rapid heartbeat, headaches, etc.--and he quit shortly after those symptoms started. I've had to listen to stuff like this in court, too. It's horrifying.
So with that Ruby Franke case and the horrible abuse she heaped on that child, imagine being either the court appointed atty or the hired atty. How the hell would you be able to defend that ?
Blame the Jody woman for everything but good luck with that! Hope the Mormon money is paying the lawyer good bc they’ve got a big long road ahead of them.
@@deltalima6703 Everyone is entitled to a defence for sure. I just think that any case involving child abuse would be very difficult for any atty to defend. No judgement on them as it's their job to do it. Def not a scumbag.
Her defense is probably blame Jodi and be a "victim of manipulation & cult behavior" or else and most likely because of her "better than you" behavior she will just go innocent and lose. Hope she loses tbh
I love Bruce not only for his great & nonchalant adivce.. but when his song is playing, his laugh... yeah his laugh... the cars and plane thing...not classy to me.. never show ur riches meaning worth
I imagined that there was nothing that couldn't be solved with words. And then my second child was autistic so that doesn't necessarily follow. As a widow I had to get him arrested for all the domestic violence against during Covid because he took dealing with the restrictions out on me and his brother. Of course I knew the charges would B dropped because autism so I just got the police to promise he wouldn't go in the cells. They just kept him in an interview room and the judge told him it was his last chance to stop hitting, kicking, biting his mum which I appreciate her for.
I’m a former firefighter, medic, and 9-1-1 dispatcher & call taker for fire & EMS. Hands down working in dispatch was far more emotionally draining than working in the field and over the years I had some really insane calls (for example a pregnant woman called because a methhead was literally trying to cut her baby out of her with a knife).
I'm from a little town that heroin took a hold of an we had firefighters of 30 years retired over a little boy used as a drug mule. God bless you.

I agree 💯, it’s far more draining taking calls and dispatching! I miss being in the field and on the truck hands down!!
What I love the most about Bruce is that he always gives great life advice, such as ”You don't shoot people”
You don't shoot people....?
@@NickyBlue99 yup ... you don't shoot people ... or use violence when there are alternatives for settling disputes.
Is this your first time here?...and hearing Bruce's sage advice?
@@notme2dayYep and you don’t ever SELF SNITCH ! That is the main one to remember , if you forget that you shouldn’t shoot .
not shooting people is bullshit
That was taken out of context.
For anyone curious about the man shot by his wife, hiding in the bathroom-His name was Dylan Hustosky (27), an off duty police officer. His wife Kayleigh (29) broke through the door at the end of the 911 call and the last bang was her shooting him in the arm a second time.
He managed to push past her and run out of the house. He passed out a block or two away from the house. She took her own life and was later discovered by police. Dylan had surgery and made a full (physical) recovery.
They’d been married 2.5 years and had a 3 year old son. No motive was ever found, though it was likely premeditated bc she had sent the son to stay somewhere else before the shooting.
There was no history of DV or police calls to the house, no note, and neither Dylan nor the police were ever able to learn where she got ahold of the gun she used (it wasn’t Dylan’s).
Such a weird case. I hope he’s getting therapy and that he and his son are doing ok!
Thank you for the follow up. I was wondering and hoping that last bang wasn’t his death. 😢
I came to the comments for this. Thanks for updating us.
Thank you so much! I was so worried as to what happened to him!!
That is so bizarre. Wow.
Thank you! I just looked it up and posted that he survived cause... that was brutal. My understanding is that the motivation was her infidelity..... She tries to kill him because she cheated. Wtf.
"Children are precious, I don't care if they're little shts" lmao!

@@iap-ug3oyif you would’ve just taken evil out of that, you could at least try to make that point. Cause they certainly can be uncaring and horrible…
@@iap-ug3oy so are adults? why do children get more hate while others act the same with no repercussions?
@@rathersleepthanstayawakezzzespecially when children do not have a full grasp of what they’re doing on a developmental level. Not to diminish any horrific actions taken (say, that 15 year old who did her mother in when she found her penjamins, and nearly got her stepdad, AND BROUGHT HER FRIEND TO BE TRAUMATIZED BY THE INCIDENT), but the double standards children face (hitting them is fine, but don’t hit an adult, or you’ll go to jail) is sickening. Adults need this exact same scrutiny if they commit the same crimes, and are even more capable of them at worse scales. Kids only ever accomplish smaller scale tragedies because they don’t have: the power, the money, the brains, and other resources that they’re denied based on their ages. If a kid had the smarts, and drive to cause the next world changing attack, we would have had it by now. The Columbine dillheads do not count, their wide scale destruction failed because of their poor brainpower. Just remember those guys wanted the place up in flames, and it didn’t happen.
Ruby Frankie son saved not only his own life but also his siblings lives as well, when he went to the neighbor's house to seek help. He is a true hero. It is heartbreaking how this neighbor cares more about this child than his own parents. You can actually hear it in his voice.
AMEN 🙏 🙏 🙏 🙏 🙏 🙏 🙏 I just remember 🙏 ❤ & take comfort in the words 🙏 ❤ spoken by our Lord & Saviour Jesus Christ 🙏 ❤, "Woe to anyone who harms one of these little ones that it would be better that a millstone were hanged around your neck & you were thrown into the sea" 🙏 ❤...It's in the book of Matthew if you aren't familiar with it or don't know of it...Jim Caviezel even used that scripture & quoted it in the film Sound of Freedom 🙏 ❤...He added it into the film without ANYONE KNOWING that he was going to do that in the scene & THANKFULLY they left it in the scene of the film because it was so POWERFUL & it FIT the scene PERFECTLY 🥰 🙏 ❤...
Not just his siblings' lives, but all of the other children that these wretched and perverse women would have gotten their hands on.
Don't shoot people and build!
Build! Build! Build!
And Ruby's sisters are just as bad. One of them has a couple of videos of her bragging about how well-behaved her toddlers are because she can place them on a blanket on the floor and leave them there for hours. She doesn't admit to it, but it is called "blanket training" and you "train" the child, from the time they are old enough to crawl, by teasing them off the blanket with a favorite toy and then beating the baby, usually with a flexible ruler or pvc pipe, when it crawls off the blanket trying to get to the toy. It is something Mike and Debi Pearl have promoted in their book "To Train Up a Child." They also promote other forms of "discipline," such as withholding food (sound familiar?). They also have a video out there where Mike shows how to beat a child without leaving marks, using a doll for demonstration. Michelle Duggar said in her book that when she discovered blanket training, it was an "amazing thing to behold." She and her husband also used to promote the Pearls' book......until people started learning just exactly what blanket training is. Not many people openly admit they blanket train, like Ruby's sister, but that is exactly what they are doing. They just no longer publicly use the term.
Wow, that's so evil
I'm a 911 emergency operator and dispatcher for a major metropolitan city in the southeast and watching this as I finish up my normal 10 hour shift and start my overtime for the night! I can say with 100% sincerity that this is the best job I've ever had. I adore what I do and the people I work with. Some days are certainly harder than others, and I definitely have had calls that I will remember for the rest of my life. But I'm in a position to help people in such a unique and acute way, the schedule is great, and it's hard to beat the benefits. Thank you for shining a spotlight on what we do, sir. We don't do it for the accolades, but we're thankful for the appreciation.
As always, please stay safe. And if you ever need us (although I hope you never do), you know my number!
You look like a 911 dispatcher
It's a very underrated job, we don't realize how important the job is! It takes a special person to do it well, I appreciate what you do!
What is your number...?
❤❤❤
@@NickyBlue99. Obviously it is 911
Have a friend of mine who is training to become a 911 dispatcher. He had the unfortunate luck to have answered a call during training that turned out to be his mother calling 911 after being run over by a car. He didn’t realize it was his mother until getting a text from his dad on his break. He listened to the recording of the call and he had clearly recognized her at the time and completely blocked it out of his memory. The crap dispatchers deal with is not recognized enough.
That's so unlucky! Well if she made the call herself hopefully she's OK! 👍🙏
ahahahaha
Wowww! Hope they’re both ok now! Idk if I could deal mentally, being a dispatcher. Kuddos to them all, but some are horrible that I’ve listened to in some 9-11 calls. ❤prayers!
@@colspiracy8326 She had a few cracked ribs, some scrapes and a torn ligament in her knee, but she was walking around at the car show her family runs the next weekend. She seemed to be doing alright. Still a traumatic experience for everyone involved.
@@sparroew7637 Ah that's good. 👍 I unfortunately witnessed a pedestrian get run over about a month ago. They weren't so lucky.☹️. It was very traumatic. Enjoy every day like its your last. God bless 👍🙏
I’ve only called 911 once; I was 5-years-old.
My little brother had woken me up in the middle of the night to tell me that mom was gone.
Together we searched the whole house and couldn’t find her. We couldn’t look outside because the door was locked with a key.
I remember feeling so panicky and scared, but I remembered that in kindergarten that week we’d learned that we could call 911 in an emergency; and this definitely seemed like an emergency to my 5-year-old self.
I don’t recall exactly what I told the 911 operator, but I do remember that talking to her made me feel more calm and almost like a grown-up was there.
She stayed on the phone with me until the police officer knocked on the door.
It’s been a very long time since that happened, but I’ll never forget how that operator calmed me down, which in turn calmed down my brother.
She made us feel safe in a terrifying situation for 2 little kids.
(The tl;dr on where my mom was: the cop found her on the far side of the neighborhood making out with her boyfriend in his car. I don’t know if they were doing more and don’t want to know, lol.
But yeah, she left us alone because she wanted to go pretend she was a teenager again with her boyfriend.)
Because hiring a babysitter is just too much work apparently...
Wow. It sounds like calling 911 was exactly the right call on your part. Did your mom face any legal ramifications for leaving you like that?
@@Vox-Multis No. The police officer just gave her a very long lecture.
When mom got in the house after the cop left, she yelled at us for calling the police because “he acted like I’m a bad mother or something”.
I got in trouble again a couple years later because she forgot me at the grocery store and an employee noticed me looking lost. After paging my mom multiple times over the PA system, and calling my house (this was before cell phones were common), the store manager called the cops.
When she finally showed up, she got lectured by these cops too and once we were back in her car, I got yelled at again even though I didn’t call the police this time.
Great mom, huh?
I am so sorry you had a selfish narcissist for a "mother" I hope you find someone in your life who truly loves you!
Jesus loves you
"Lemme tell ya something...you don't shoot people."
"I don't think counseling is going to help these two.."
Lol His commentary on these calls is just absolute GOLD!
911 operators dont get enough credit. I did grand jury duty and the first week I cried 3 times. I was so mentally drained when I left each day... And this is coming from someone who loves true crime everything, videos, podcasts, books etc. I have a completely different perspective since doing that. I gained a new respect for law enforcement, firefighters, medics, attorneys, judges, jurors... it was a crazy, but fulfilling duty (no pun intended ) and everyone should do it at least once. As always love the content, Bruce & Michael!
I wish we were better to our jurors. I would honestly be happy to do jury duty IF I wouldn't lose so much money that I'd have to choose between keeping a roof over my head or a car to take me to work. The way things are in my state, if I get jury duty, I'd lose so much work that I basically have no choice but to to tell them I know about jury nullification and like it just so they boot me and I don't lose everything.
What is it now, 64% of Americans living paycheck to paycheck, unable to afford a $500 emergency, yet you have to lose a paycheck or more just to serve jury duty in most of the US.
@@TheAwesomes2104 yeah that is awful. I got lucky and my job also pays me for being out. I wouldn't have been able to do it either if it weren't for that!
@@TheAwesomes2104yup. My husband got summons and he’s telling them he can’t be impartial. His job won’t cover pay and he’d be getting ike $30/day and we can’t survive on that obv
I have always wanted to be on a jury! I think I’m the only person on earth who gets excited when I get jury duty 😅. Haven’t been selected yet, but maybe one day. I think it’s such important work!
@TheAwesomes2104 I mean your job is legally (by law) is supposed to pay you a full 8 hours pay. Maybe that might not be 100% at some small mom and pop shops but I get paid fully when I had to appear on jury duty without any question. I showed them my summons and they understood completely.
The disdain and anger toward that horrible woman and how she treated her kids is palpable, youre a stand up guy Bruce, glad I found your channel.
I'm a father of 4 and I just want to commend you for speaking so frankly out against child abuse and not mincing your words until you're a parent you never fully realize what everyone says about how strong a love the love of a child really is, they should be guided, protected and loved unconditionally and Im a big bearded long haired rough kind of man but my kids turn me into a teddy bear and i would die to protect them, it baffles me someone could hurt a child much less their own, its beyond my comprehension
Best call was when a woman called 911 and told her boyfriend she was ordering pizza. The operator asks: if he is armed, say you want pepperoni on your pizza. that was so smart
I remember this, but not any specific details. Just that both the caller and the 911 officer were amazing.
911 operators need a better training on how to calm people down.
When I was a kid, I had to call the cops because someone broke into my house while I was alone. The operator got mad because I was crying on the phone and she hung up.
I was able to call again and the next operator was really nice & basically solve the situation (he told me to scream lol, the intruder ran when I did that).
Though, it was kinda fucked up because no one believed me when I said that the first operator didn't help me... :/
A 911 operator hung up on you? That's not okay! I'm sorry that happened to you.
What! I hope they were fired. That’s awful. I get so upset when I hear some 911 operators being aholes to people in serious need.
The whole “MAAM MAAM CALM DOWN OR I WONT HELP YOU” bs.
So glad you were ok tho, that could have gone so much worse. So so glad.
@@HeatherHolt thank you! Why on earth would someone be a dispatcher if they aren't calm and caring people. Dispatchers are heroes. It's a select few that have what it takes.
What are they supposed to do to calm people down...? Other than say calm down. Are they supposed to do breathing exercises with the caller...? They're there to gather info and get help to where it's needed...
They are there to dispatch the police and start a case against you. That’s America.
As a dad of two wonderfull toddlers I couldn't be angrier with the second call. Bruce, you're providing a great (public) service when you defend children the way you do. I couldn't agree with you more, children should be loved and protected at all times... even when they act like ''little shits''.
I'm sure this is an excellent episode but I finally got over my PTSD from years of 911 dispatch. I love seeing the kind words in the comments. Thank you all so much...
Thank you for doing a very importand and hard job! Take care and lots of good wishrs to you
Thank you!

@andreaski100 Thank you, I will check it out. 😊
My friend was a public defender in family court in L.A. and she had to defend parents or guardians in abuse or SA cases. The thing was is one parent or relative would accuse a parent or guardian of SA when there was none. She said it really took special people to un-brainwash a coached kid. They would say what the adult told them to say. It took real pros to break through that s***.
She transferred to defending kids in the foster system. It was hard to believe how adults will mess with a kid’s mind and usually nothing happens to them.
And as Bruce pointed out, the jury is going to want to believe the child, so the defense is fighting an uphill battle from the get-go.
The most famous of these situations is probably the McMartin Preschool Trial, where some kids were actually made to testify that horrible things had been done to them. Those things never happened, but they still ended up suffering real trauma as a result of all this. The poor kids were victims of their own "defenders" rather than the accused.
Sadly 😢 I grew up with a crazy birth mother who used us kids as pawns against our father & had attempted to brainwash us to say lies about our father...My younger brother & I were placed in foster care for 6 months & after those 6 months, we were finally 🙏 ❤ placed in the custody of our father & stepmother 🙏 ❤ where we grew up in a much MORE STABLE environment & HOME 🙏 ❤...To this day, I consider my stepmother to BE MY MOM 🙏 ❤...Without her raising me there's NO TELLING how I would've ended up OR survived this life 🙏 ❤...She instilled in me morals & values as well as teaching me how to cook & clean WHICH are ALL things NEITHER of our 2 older sisters HAVE OR KNOW who were old enough to choose to stay with our birth mother!!!!!! My oldest sister has ALWAYS been jealous, envious & attempts to compete 🙄 or copy me over or on ANYTHING & EVERYTHING!!!!!!!! And, she absolutely hates the FACT that our father & I have a different relationship than what they have & she's ALWAYS attempting to cause friction between our father & I...She's so much like our birth mother, she CAN'T tell the TRUTH on ANYTHING even IF her life depended on it!!!!!!!! I completely stopped trying to have a relationship with her FINALLY years ago!!!!!! It was NO LONGER any good for my own mental health...

It happens the other way too. The abusive parent will cry parental alienation and get the judge to give them custody and disallow all contact with the nonabusive parent and gaslight the child into recanting the abuse. I read about one kid who was forced to stay with his dad who SA’d him for three months, after he accused his dad, until videos were found showing the dad abusing him and the cops arrested the dad. I can’t imagine being that kid or his mom who wasn’t even allowed to talk to him for three months while she knew he was with the abusive dad.
I have become addicted to Bruce's videos!! Always watching for new material from you Bruce..Thank you for informative,funny stuff!!

I 100% agree with your views about children. I would add that it’s absolutely disgusting for any adult to do horrible stuff to any child for any reason. Absolutely unacceptable.
Wow, that’s a hot take. Brave of you to be so controversial
@@Tortilla.Reform
Damn it you took my comment!
😂
100% it's awful. And it's so horrible how our "justice" system handles them. If you really want to ruin your day in the US just look up the convicted s-offenders in your county and see how little time they did for what they did. Not a single one in my county did over 2 and a half years. It's vile, we know these people reoffend, but just let them out in a couple years anyways.
The US should - like the rest of the civilised world - make corporal punishment illegal. This is my country: "Sweden was the world's first nation to outlaw all corporal punishment of children in 1966. It is estimated that approximately 5% of Swedish children continue to be illegally spanked, however, in addition to being unlawful, physical punishment of children is now considered socially unacceptable."

I'm so sorry you went through that. But I'm also so proud of you for getting out of it, and for speaking about it here today. It's so important to be able to share these stories.

As a 911 dispatcher who dispatches for my county SO, EMS, and Fire thank you for the kind words. It can be hard not to take these things home with you. We do debriefs after these types of calls with the 1st responders. We have a crisis management team that come is and we all sit around a table and tell our stories from our POV and we help each other understand what was done and why. It's nice to hear that there was nothing more that you could have done in the situation. I know with a bad call I usually second guess the things i say and do in a situation, how you could have done things different or better. We had a murder in our county last year (we don't usually have those types of things very often) and I second guessed everything i did that night. I feel like it's a thankless job most of the time, a lot of people don't think of us a first responders. Most people don't call us because they are having a good day. so thank you for the appreciation
Some of the comments I've seen on here on comments about being 911 dispatchers are so ....disappointing. u guys are literally the 1st response to someone's most terrible, most traumatic moment of their lives.... and what u do, how u treat them, the things u say are quite important. U play ur role in making sure the police officers, paramedics, firefighters have some sort of insight of what they're about to walk upon. Pls take good care of yourself. Xo

Thank you.. it’s not just answering phones.. there are some hard things that you have to listen to and respond appropriately.. you can’t clam up or freak out.. one of my coworkers actually listened to a girl in a burning car take her last breath.. I had a girl call because he boyfriend was drunk and was playing Russian roulette with his guns that weren’t supposed to be loaded but this one was and he shot himself in the face.. it’s hard to listen to the crying and screaming because you feel helpless.. it’s definitely not for the faint of heart.. it took me about a year or so for my heart not to stop when 911 rang..
@iamwhoiam7887 Tell us your clueless without saying the words... good job!
I found your TH-cam channel in the last month and I LOVE your sense of humor. Sometimes things are so horrible that you have to laugh to digest the information. Thank you for making me laugh while being informative.
This channel is such a heartwarming blend of father son bonding, the law as it applies to snapshots of raw humanity, and crime!
Worked in dispatch for years and I loved it. I have taken these calls and they are heavy but at the end of the shift, you hope you’ve helped someone when they needed it the most.
🖤💛🖤
When people wonder how the job goes, I would tell them “when you get drunk and mad at your baby daddy later on tonight, you’re going to call and yell at me about it. And I will have to have my nice customer service voice because…recording and court.”
Thank you, we need poeple like you! Great to hear that you loved your job!
found the update in the last 911 call, unfortunately the grandson passed away.. he was only 19 😞
eta: the grandpa also died, he spent about 4 months in jail until he was transferred to a hospital for health issues and died
Dang! 😳😔 Thank you for the update. I was about to Google search for additional information on that call.
What a sad situation. Thanks for letting us know!
God bless ALL emergency operators! Your calm voice on the other end of the phone makes such a huge difference!
Holy sh*t... Thank god that off duty cop survived, that was a rollercoaster of emotions for me listening to that call and then hearing he survived.
She shot him and then shot herself… that’s so terrifying. Thank god the 3 yr old wasn’t home when this happened or she would have possibly shot and killed the kid! They were married for 2.5 years with a 3 year old so… god that’s just wild. I had to read about it bc that call was so scary. He could have shot her and didn’t and it’s so sad now the baby is without a mom. But unless she had serious mental issues I can’t have much sympathy for her being the aggressor.
@@HeatherHolt wow and a 3 year old, a sad world we live in...
Yeah
@@HeatherHoltshe so evil why tho
@@theonlycolby😢 l agree that the future
It’s insane how this channel has become one of my favorites so quick! Amazing production and i love the knowledge of law I learn from Bruce. Keep up the great content
I was a 911 operator for all of 6 months. Being on the end of a call, listening to something happening that you can't stop, is a horrifying experience. The only thing worse is that most of the time we never found out who survived or not. Eventually the call ends because they hang up, or you have to let them go because the first responders have arrived, or for whatever reason. Then you have to take the next call.
That was over 10 years ago and there are some calls I still think about.
I laughed way too damn hard at the last call, but it's your fault Rivers! Stop being so damn funny! Love this channel!
I remember the phone calls from passengers on 9/11. Some of the operators prayed with them, took down notes for their families, just listened to their plans to commendier the plane back, and worse, hearing the line go dead. I'm sure that they must have counselors to talk with. That would have to be mandatory, I would think. I don't think I could do this for a job. ❤
There's no way i could ever begin to handle that much responsibility. I admire those that
Can
@slimjim4981 🤣🤣 thank you! I was in bed, falling asleep when I posted my comment lol pretty funny 😁
I love the way u talk about children, and being a parent to small children in other videos. You’re one of the most genuine people I watch Bruce! I hope one of your kids give u a grand baby one day, seeing you as a gpa would be awesome! I still would rather see you in action in the courtroom! 😜
I think he and his son both have hearts of gold!!! To help us all have a better understanding of the law and have a sense of humor about it all is truly a gift!!! 😊👍
Hello Bruce and Michael! Just want to say that I love, love, love your channel! Found it recently while I’m home recovering from horrible MVA. Some guy almost took me out by not paying attention! Anyway, I’m binge watching! Thank you guys for the hard work 🥰
The volume levels for the show are finally the same! Great job! I usually have to turn my system down so I don't blow my speakers on your intro, it's great but so much louder than the show. This was perfect! Good video. Thanks for postin’! Cheers from H-Town!
Thank you for bringing this up lmao same here
It was deafening for sure😅
Thank you Bruce, I’ve been watching since you first started your channel but now I’m in the middle of my 1L year, learning about self-defense and homicide. Watching your video is like a little review session for me!
Michael - Love the videos, love that you’re working with your Dad, and it’s great to see that your channel is growing! However, you need more than the 3 outdated playlists that are currently set up for your channel. Think of all your new subscribers: playlists are very helpful when you want to binge-watch old content. Also, I wanted to find parts 2&3 of Bruce reacting to JCS’ video about Jodi Arias (since the first part was so interesting), but after a detailed search I couldn’t find them. Perhaps they were never filmed, despite Bruce’s intro, or perhaps they were mistakenly removed. Please continue making your wonderful content, just include a little more organization. Thanks! 🥰
Same on the missing Jodi Arias videos!!!!
We've been waiting for part 2 and 3 for a very very long time. I sure hope they decide to upload it soon. Especially when Bruce spruced us all up to watch it in part 1.
Despite the heart breaking and frustrating moments in the video, Bruce always knows how to get a belly laugh out of me LOL. Love the vids as always Bruce and The Almighty Content Genius Michael 🥰
Thanks, Bruce and Michael, for the lessons I learn everyday.
I really enjoyed this episode! Thanks for keeping the content entertaining, Bruce, and thanks for the awesome ideas to have your Dad react to, Content Genius Michael. Appreciate the time you both put in to make these videos. Must be fun hanging out while you do, though. To be a fly on that office wall… ;)
So, Bruce has talked a little about discipline (and not hitting kids) in this and the main Ruby Frankie video. One thing that was really formative for me was when my oldest was in preschool they had some parenting guidance at the same time.
One of the early education counselors mentioned that we commonly think of discipline only as punishment - but the word means so much more than that. When you really think of "discipline", it's about acting properly, effectively. There is so much more to teaching children how to act/behave than just punishment, and I think we need to focus on that. Discipline is teaching my kids that I apologize when I'm wrong, so they can see that it's part of acceptable behavior. Discipline is teaching them that they don't need to lie about "the little things" because it's ok. Everyone screws up, mistakes happen, and honesty and communication are more important than hiding mistakes.
Punishment is an aspect, but it shouldn't be viewed as the main or primary method for discipline.
FWIW, our daughter is now in the middle of her teen years and she's a kind, caring, honest, responsible person who is as rational and communicative as any teenager ever is. We've never disciplined her in the classic American sense of physically assaulting her. I believe one key thing we've done ever since she was young enough to understand us is to explain *why* when we asked her to do or not do something. We've never said, "Because I say so!" when she asked why she couldn't do or have something. We respected her and expected the same in return from her. We've also never lied about being all-knowing and never making mistakes, and when we've screwed up, we've acknowledged that and apologised if it caused problems for her. In short, we've always treated her like another human being, and that does seem to have paid off in us having a teenager in the house who is quite nice person rather than a sullen, obnoxious little a-hole who communicates in grunts.
What a great comment!
First off thank you Michael and Bruce for another excellent episode. Secondly, thanks to all 911 operators who are the unsung heroes to us all❤
Oh man the guy that shot his grandson, William miller, his grandson died.
That’s so sad. What an ahole.
Apparently the grandson actually lived in the house so it wasn’t even a “get out” situation.
Oh my God!
What an absolute catastrophe!
Just from the short 9-1-1 call, it sounds like nobody in the household was able to mitigate the effect of Grandfather shooting his wife's grandson.
No First Aid.
People in shock watching their grandson die.
If everyone knew Basic First Aid, so many lives could be saved.
He also died of natural causes before the case got to court.
@@vallejomach6721
He is probably still answering to the Highest Court in the Universe, the One that calls us all to account --- without exception.
((not talking fire and brimstone, but something perhaps deeper and more lasting in it's effects.))
I absolutely love your channel/videos! you and your son keep up the great work!
I agree, children are precious. They can drive you crazy but that's a you problem. Take a breath, walk away, then discipline with reason, love and a sense of stability.
These 911 calls are so revealing about the dark underbelly of our society. I hope you do more as a supplement to the trial reactions. Thank you, Bruce and Michael. ❤
It’s not even the dark underbelly. This can happen to anyone, any day, anywhere.
I’ve seen some people react to this with the “what is the world coming to” spiel. None of this is new, it’s always been a part of human life. If anything it’s just more documented now Crime has been falling for the past 30 years, but the news and fear mongering will tell you different thanks to more footage of what’s always existed

I LOVE your content! My husband hears your voice and says, " oh is that THAT guy again?" And he knows I'll be laughing soon. He laughs too! Of course we mindful of all the serious stuff.☺️ you and your son are the best!!!
These 911 calls are way easier to listen to when you are commentating! I’ve listened to stuff like this before and it was sad af, but you make it less intense and more entertaining and educational
I've been a paramedic in a big city suburb for over a decade, I've seen some Ish... I could NEVER handle being a dispatcher!!! They have nothing but my utmost respect.
I'm a paramedic as well, and I have always said the same. I couldn't be a dispatcher. No way!!
I was watching a show where they were playing the most absurd 911 calls, where one was a 7-year old child calling for help with his homework. His mother was in the bathroom getting ready for work, so she was absolutely appalled when she asked him who he was speaking to. As a betting person, I’d say that kid was not going to have a great day!
Hah wow I hear one where the lady called wanting a babysitter 😂 said the kids were annoying her. It was British I think.
I think I know that show, 911 Lonestar? Really touching scene
I heard that one. I think the operator helped the kid with the problems he was having. Wellll….I guess his parents told him whenever he needed help to call 911 🤷🏻♀️🤷🏻♀️
It actually ended with the dispacher visiting the boy sometime later with a camera team from the local news i think. Its on youtube.
Have a coworker that a couple weeks ago had some kids bust the rear window out of his car. The next day while at work he called 911 to get a copy of the police report despite all of us telling him not to call 911 to call dispatch or the number on the card the officer gave him. He said calling dispatch was too difficult because he had to listen to the extension options. I about lost my mind. The ignorance and laziness is ridiculous to me. He for real called 911 to request a copy of a report. I lost all respect for him that day
Fascinating Bruce. Love your channel, learning lots ! Thank you 👏🏼🇬🇧
I love you guys, too! ❤ You feel like old friends. I can't remember how long ago I subscribed to your channel, but I've never been disappointed, and have always felt smarter after watching. You both rock!
Know it's going to be great before I even begin!
Bruce the beard looks so good! Love you and the content genius. Thanks for the cool videos.
Great video. Great humor with wonderful legal commentary. Thank you.
I don't imagine that you or yours will see a comment such as this, but I must:
Your beautifully-trimmed beard (would this be any other way?!) and the dark and grey color mixture is great. Added to your ever-dapper look, it works well.
(I had figured that you would be keeping it just for a little while after the grand motorcycle trip.)
Many cheers. I always am glad to have found you. It is no wonder that your life has given you a beautiful family and many gifts -- all well earned!
It’s funny you covered these videos since I’ve been getting a lot of these in my reel feed recently.
Good video! Love your channel!
God bless, i kept checking for a new clr vid and had lost hope
I was a 911 operator for 12 years.... very stressful job where you need to keep your composure in the worst days of the callers' lives. It is also a job that affects you physically, emotionally and your health in general. PTSD, from being on the receiving side of some terrible calls, sleep deprivation and let's talk about the not seeing your family every other weekend and on holidays. All 911 operators should receive so much more recognition for the essential and difficult job they do.
The 911 calls are amazing. Another good video, boyz.
Glad to see you’re keeping the facial hair from your Alaska trip, Bruce.
It 'grew' on him. 😆
Bruce u definitely should do more videos like this!
Thank you so very much, Bruce and Michael! ☺️ Love this channel... I am always waiting on new content!
I literally seen everyone of these videos last week. And now ur reacting to them.. the algorithm is King!!!
Thank you Michael for the great content always. You and your Dad are a fantastic team. I absolutely love Bruce's take and humor on what we're watching. Thank you!
Theres a 911 call where the victim was calling and dispatch couldn't really understand her. The dispatch was extremely rude. But, when you find out the womans freaking jaw was shot off so she couldn't really talk well makes the dispatch even worse. Im surprised she could talk at all. She was trying so hard too. Theres a hbo show called "dead men talk" where the dispatch gets a call with a woman moaning. You hear the dispatcher say "i think she's dying" it was so heartbreaking. The woman was dying. Dead when they got there. She was raped and stabbed. But while the cops were there, the killer lit a bed on fire in nextdoor apartment. The apartment burnt down and her body was burned.
There's a 911 call put there that seriously broke my heart. I don't remember the callers name but she was in her car and the road was flooded, carrying her car away. The 911 dispatcher wasn't taking her seriously, almost mocking her. The caller ended up drowning inside her car, on a flooded road, because that dispatcher waited til the very last minute to send help. If I remember correctly, it was like a 40min call.
@@justkim9827We had a similar one back years ago in Australia , on our 000 , where the girl drowned . Inexcusable .
@@justkim9827That's heartbreaking. If you hang up and call again, isn't there a chance you'll be connected to a different operator?
@LegendaryTony. I think so but this poor woman probably didn't think to try that. It's really a heartbreaking call, especially knowing what the outcome was. It's here on TH-cam, although I can't recall the woman's name. I wanna say her first name was Mary but I could be totally wrong. The caller was even apologizing to the dispatcher for freaking out, even though it was the dispatcher who was giving _her_ attitude! She was on the phone the whole entire time, telling the dispatcher how high the water was getting inside the car and even that she could see people looking at her and she was wondering why they weren't trying to help. At the end, they showed a picture of the woman's car, it was washed into a group of trees. Poor lady would still be here today if that 911 operator had just sent help immediately.
@@BlackStump172 I remember a call from Australia where a girl had been brought to a house but started to get a bad feeling so she fled and hid behind some bushes. She called emergency services, whispering obviously, and the dispatcher was being so rude, asking her to speak louder and why she was hiding in bushes. The caller ended up being murdered. Terrible terrible stuff, man.

And what he do??

great episode as always. I grew up watching Rescue 911 on PBS and as a kid it made me scared of life ! Alligator attacks, electrocution! More of these please bc your reactions help ease the shock of the calls in a nice balanced way
That Ruby Franke one is the worst. I’ve seen some of her videos where she films her with her kids and giving out “advice” on parenting. Just to think she had those poor kids literally being tortured in the next room makes me sick.
“Kids are just so precious to start with. They might be little sxxxs but you don’t duck tape them and deprive them of food” you are mint. Class x
Really enjoyed this. Such a tough job dispatchers have. From me in Dublin to you and your Content Genius, Michael. ❤🇮🇪
"Give me my F#$@ turkey pot pie" 😂 funny stuff bruce. Another great video
I've been binging since see the Sara Boone case, not intentionally though.😂😂 You make learning law fun. New sub.❤
I love these react videos Bruce!
Hey Bruce and Michael for another crazy video. My sister was a 000 operator on night shift for quite a few years. She won a big award from the police commissioner,for talking a Criminal down,who was ready to shoot a lot of people. She had to give it away in the end,as it can really play with your mental health. These professionals are Amazing people ❤
Looks like we spotted an aussie.
They really do save people on those lines
Thank you Bruce!
I was not expecting to hear a friend's 911 call on this video. 😢😢😢 Thank you for high lighting the amazing 911 operators they are the calm during the storm.
More of these please!!!
This is the first episode I couldn’t handle. Absolute respect for 911 operators.
I love Michael “Content Genius” Rivers
This is such a serious video but I really lost it when you said ‘evidently… grandpa doesnt like him…’😂😂 man idk, didn’t have my coffee yet- that really got me
Love your channel, looking forward to this one😊
It is such a joy to see how proud you are of your son. It is the highlight of every video, for me. 😊
Yes. Michael is the content genius 👍 but let's give Bruce a round of applause for those golden 'spontaneous utterances' 👏👏👏🤣🤣🤣
It's nice to see you so very emotional and angry re the treatment the Franke kids endured. People *should* feel that way about it.
Was she the utuber?? 😕
@@beckylynn209 yep. that's the one.
I would trust Bruce if I needed a lawyer;he knows his stuff! Right,Bruce??? LOL
Been enjoying your work. Thanks for making the time to produce this ( you and your boss). Just retired from long term care Administration and if those walls could talk! Anyway, appreciate you finding the humor whenever possible....we need folks like you on the airwaves (and the planet).
Awesome to see you do something a little different. I've heard all of these calls before and it's cool to hear a defense expert's opinions of them
I really appreciate 911 operators and the work they do. It was good to hear their responses to critical situations.
CLR is such a breath air. I'm loving your videos and opinions. Thank you for all your videos 😊
I love your expressions and humor you interject into these awful situations.
That last call was William Miller, 73, after he shot his grandson, Evan Holcombe, 19, in the chest. Evan died at the scene. William died of natural causes in jail while awaiting trial. I think the person crying was probably the grandmother because you can hear Evan's agonal breathing in the background. That poor kid.
Thank you! ❤
Bruce, the caller in the Ruby Franke case was holding back tears and trying to keep the little boy calm. The phone call was heart wrenching to listen to. He had heard about trouble over there, and felt bad, as he didn't know it was that bad. She's been doing this for years. Two young people in their early 20's posted on social media what Hildebrand did to them, and this is what she had been doing to the Franke kids. I'm with you, everything can be talked through, even with a toddler. I don't even use time out. I do have them sit, calm down, quiet down, and we talk through what the problem is,each one getting a chance to talk. My girls didn't even go through the mouthy stage. They never went through the rebellious stage, though I kept waiting. I just made sure they didn't grow up like me. If they did get in trouble, the only thing they went without were computer privileges, phone privileges, or toys (when younger). I did threaten to use duct tape on my mouthy nephew, but never would have gone through with it. But, the Franke case is heartbreaking.😢
Are they still living at home?
As a parent, and a human, that call brought tears to my eyes. Such treatment of children is SO different from my family, my neighbors, and my friends as to be incomprehensible. If a child appeared at my door in such a condition I would at the least be 'holding back tears'!
To be fair, I never went through a rebellious stage or a mouthy stage. I was, and I quote “a perfect child” yeah, ends up I have a whole load of issues… autistic, ADHD, antisocial disorder (though that one is being argued since it has gotten better with age). It’s probably not your parenting style, it’s probably your kids since many many kids still go through those stages, even with wonderful parents. And please PLEASE if they show ANY symptoms of anything, take them in. My parents forced me into a bad space thanks to their ignorance despite there being many red flags waving inches from their face.
Children who haven't been through abuse like that usually think of a suggestion like duct taping their mouths shut as silly and absurd and recognize that it's not serious.
I joke with my nieces all the time that, if they don't stop using my stools as mini slime tables, as they do, that I'll glue their feet to the ceiling fan and turn it on. Or I'll tell them to get out of my car and walk home. They think it's hilarious because they know I'd never do them that way, and no one's ever done them like that before. But if I was to make a joke like that one day and they took it too seriously, I'd be really concerned.
My grandson wouldn’t stay in the house in winter one year at 4 years old and I told him I was going to duct tape him to the ceiling. He thought oh cool and asked where the tape was because he wanted to hang out on the ceiling. That plan backfired. Instead I put a chain lock on the doors and he decided to go through the dog door next. Poor dogs lost that dog door for a couple weeks. Then when it snowed and froze over he decided it was too cold and he wasn’t interested in outside for a while.
I know a few people who worked in 911 dispatch. Most of them didn't last for more than a year. One of them described getting physically ill before going in to work--sweating palms, rapid heartbeat, headaches, etc.--and he quit shortly after those symptoms started. I've had to listen to stuff like this in court, too. It's horrifying.
So with that Ruby Franke case and the horrible abuse she heaped on that child, imagine being either the court appointed atty or the hired atty. How the hell would you be able to defend that ?
Do a good enough job that its not a mistrial. Maybe try to get her off on some technicality. How much of a scumbag am I?
Blame the Jody woman for everything but good luck with that! Hope the Mormon money is paying the lawyer good bc they’ve got a big long road ahead of them.
@@deltalima6703 Everyone is entitled to a defence for sure. I just think that any case involving child abuse would be very difficult for any atty to defend. No judgement on them as it's their job to do it. Def not a scumbag.
Her defense is probably blame Jodi and be a "victim of manipulation & cult behavior" or else and most likely because of her "better than you" behavior she will just go innocent and lose. Hope she loses tbh
Listened to the 911 call from the neighbour that the 12 you boy ran to. Heartbreaking 💔
I love Bruce not only for his great & nonchalant adivce.. but when his song is playing, his laugh... yeah his laugh... the cars and plane thing...not classy to me.. never show ur riches meaning worth
YESSSS!!! Please make more 911 call reaction videos like this one. Very entertaining and humorous!!!
I'm only 2 calls in, but double homicide and child abuse aren't what I call entertaining or humorous. Maybe the video turns around.
@sophiophile I was referring to his reactions and the way he explains things. Nobody thinks child abuse is humorous
Thank you. This by far was my favorite episode. You guys are the best 🙏💚🙌🏼
I imagined that there was nothing that couldn't be solved with words. And then my second child was autistic so that doesn't necessarily follow. As a widow I had to get him arrested for all the domestic violence against during Covid because he took dealing with the restrictions out on me and his brother. Of course I knew the charges would B dropped because autism so I just got the police to promise he wouldn't go in the cells. They just kept him in an interview room and the judge told him it was his last chance to stop hitting, kicking, biting his mum which I appreciate her for.
