There comes a time when everyone has a bad day at work. The dogs barked all night, the wife is leaving you, you got tossed out of the home for cheating, or your just a complete ass and decided today's going to be the day I can't take crap from anyone.
Meet the galactic ass hat by the name of Officer Robert McFarland of Lincoln Park, Michigan. Now McFarland isn't a rookie on the force, but a veteran for over 20 years. After 20 years of police service, you would think that he has dealt with many erroneous situations and able to tell the difference between a real emergency and a waste of time.
Sgt. McFarland was handling the 9-1-1 calls for Lincoln Park, Michigan & had to know that all the calls record the moment the phone rings. Unfortunately for Adrainne Ledesma, 17, she needed help and got this wondertard on the phone.
Ledesma's father was just on the recovery track from brain surgery and started to suffer a seizure. She did what most normal people would have done and called for help. She dialed 9-1-1 and the phone rang, but there wasn't an answer. So she dialed the number again and it was the fourth ring when the phone was answered by Officer McFarland and he heard he saying, "What the fuck."
She goes on to tell the officer that she needs and ambulance and provides the address, but McFarland decides to ignore the request and decides to admonish her for swearing. Which of course makes the emergency situation so much better. She repeats the requests with the profanity and McFarland decides to hang up the phone.
WTF?! A trained officer that is collecting his salary off of the tax paying people just refused emergency service to a Lincoln Park citizen. Maybe it was a dropped call from a cell phone or he was going to send the dispatch since she gave the address....
Not a chance for this role model police officer. Ledesma calls back and she gets McFarland...again. She asks him if he is going to send the ambulance and his reply was, "Are you going to swear again, you stupid ass?" Then he goes on to tell her she is not going to get an ambulance and hangs up again.
McFarland is definitely going for the douche bag of the year, but this is just round two in this five round championship performance. He continues to provide an insurmountable amount of evidence that he is the crown wearing super douche.
The third call went even better than the first two, because she asked for his name because she was going to sue him, his reply "Good," and he (to stay on par so far) decided to hang up again on her. He wasted over 6 minutes before calling the rescue squad. Now the calls are recorded, even the call to the rescue squad where he lied to them about the situation.
"Sgt. McFarland: I kept getting a 911 call…from this filthy-mouth girl that wanted a rescue…I never found out what it was and I was never able to transfer it over to you."
Ledesma decided to leave her older brother to take care of her father, as she went a few blocks from the house to file a complaint against McFarland. Now to keep this train wreck rolling along, she wasn't greeted with an apology or even any assistance. Nope, she was greeted with handcuffs and fictitious charges of "disorderly conduct" and "abusing 9-1-1."
So did the respectful 20 year veteran take responsibility for his actions? Not even close. Leave it to the Chief of Police of Lincoln Park to make everything better and rectify the mistake. Meet Tom Karnes, who admitted, "my guy screwed up on this" and that it was "out of character" for McFarland.
So Karnes is going to rectify the whole thing and take care of McFarland with a punishment fitting for the officer's childish conduct, falsify information, and neglecting the well-being of another citizen... McFarland got a two weeks suspension without pay and had to take "additional" training.
After 20 years and he lied like that on tape, just makes you think how many other times has he falsely written reports or arrested someone? Also what a good feeling it must be for the citizens of Lincoln Park, knowing that this ass hat is going to be on the other end of the phone "providing help."
The police chief said that it wasn't "Their Finest Hour," which is the biggest understatement of the year. That saying is for a person who goes to a prom and falls down in front of the entire room. Not for the potential chance of purposely delaying emergency service and having someone die, that just doesn't fit. The man should be fired from the job and not given any kind of severance package.
