Chicago mom left waiting hours for help after 911 call for home invasion: ‘We have no units to send you’
A Chicago mom who called 911 during a terrifying break-in was left on her own for hours — with dispatchers telling her to call her local representative to demand more police funding.

Michelle called the emergency hotline six times after coming face-to-face with two masked bandits, only for the strained supervisor to tell her the city’s severe budget cuts had left them with a bare-bones staff.

“A gentleman got on and said sorry to say we have no units to send you … then there was an awkward pause,” Michelle told NBC Chicago Wednesday, declining to share her name or face while her would-be robbers are still on the loose.

The strange part is that so many hoplophobes have so much ingrained helplessness that even if civilization were to collapse (all the way), they STILL wouldn't pick up guns. They'd cower, try to run or hide, and in the end get murdered by the predators.

When I was trying to learn how to train dogs, the dangers of creating what was known as learned helplessness was stressed in the literature.

A dog who has "learned" that he has no control over his environment cannot be taught.

What dog has no control over his environment? Just use the big brown eyes trick, if that does not work go find Mom and it will surely work on her.

A dog with an inept trainer who imposes corrections in a way that the dog cannot associate with what is the desired behavior.

If punishments and rewards appear out of the blue, for no reason the dog can understand, the dog becomes impossible to train.

Rewards often appear out of the blue, that is why we bug mommy and not daddy for them.
