Makes your blood boil

So ... apparently, if you're a dispatcher with the Charlotte County (Fla.) Sherrif's Department, you get to pick and choose which calls you "forget" to forward on to deputies -- like the calls from five separate people to say they saw a woman tied up in a back seat, kicking and screaming and looking incredibly distressed; who called to identify the driver of the car; who called with the car's location ... even a call from the woman herself, who managed to dial 911 while her abductor wasn't looking ... but dispatchers claim they "forgot" to alert deputies in the area.

So instead of a shot at a rescue, this beautiful wife and mother of two little boys was raped and shot in the head, and her naked body was buried in a shallow grave.

Read here.

You've got to be *%^#ing kidding me -- they forgot? Out of two dispatchers handling the phone calls, they both just forgot? There's so much BS wrapped up in that claim ...

Her husband and his lawyer have filed a notice that they intend to sue the sherrif's department, because apparently in Florida, you aren't allowed to sue a government entity without that entity's permission. You file a notice of intent to sue, and then you have to wait six months before you can file the actual lawsuit ...
