911 is still a joke!
Parents train their children
to call 911 in case of an emergency,
but because children
adhere to the things they've listened,
dispatchers for police divisions
will ignore the urgency...
***Ring***Ring***
"911 where's the problem?"
"My mother's passed out"
"Let me speak to her on the double,
or for your prank call,
I'll send a unit over
and you'll be in trouble."
"But my mom needs help."
"Yeah, right....ok.
I'm through with you,
I'm sending a police car over
to take you away!!"
*Click*
Mother collapsed in bed
from heart complications.
How the hell can she engage in
the solicited conversation?
What's a little black boy to do
when his pleas for help are dismissed
rather than listened to?
Operater said she would
send someone over,
but three hours later,
He's becoming more nervous,
and his mother's condition
isn't getting any greater.
So he dials again,
pleas for help once more,
only for the situation
to have the same end.
His mother is dying
in her bedroom, in her home.
Her son does what he can,
and he's accused
of playing pranks on the phone.
Where's the help?!
Whether or not
a grown-up is present,
and the situation is bad,
then someone should
be sent to check it
out for him or her self.
It was only common sense
for a helpless 5 year old boy
to do what he was told,
but I guess 911
doesn't want to bother
with emercgency calls
from 5 year olds.

911 is Still a joke!
And I hate to tell ya this,
but this isn't a new thing, folks!!
Detroit isn't the only place
where this atrocity
has reared its ugly face.
This situation hits the Atlanta area
at least 59 times every six months,
And I know this for a fact,
because my father worked
in Atlanta Emergency dispatch once.
How many black children
are wrongully in the system
because they made a plea for help
and a 911 operator didn't listen?
The answer should be NONE!!
But I bet in one county alone,
If I searched, I'll find at least
one thousand and one!!
True enough,
kids will be kids!
But now the attitude is,
if you're a child and call 911
with a real emergency,
you get threatened with
a possible juvenile bid?
Since the bible decrees
that wisdom will emerge
from the mouths of children,
wouldn't it favor you
in bad situations
to allow them to speak
and take a hearty listen?

911 is still a Joke!!!
But this isn't Flava Flav
of Public Enemy
trying to remind you.
Most of you
may have thought, 'nice song'
then put
its PSA issue behind you.
The city might be responsible for it,
But the heart of the matter
was strictly black on black.
I think it's ****** up
when our kids do the right thing
and, by us, get constantly attacked.
Chief Bully-Cummings
can do all the damage control
that she wants to do.
But the truth of
the clear and present negligence
from black police department employees
shines brightly through.
Get the hint!!
This is a wake up call.
It's ****** up when kids care
whereas we don't seem
to care at all,
especially when you're one of
the people who are supposed to care!!
Had the police in Detroit
done their job,
Robert Turner's mother
would still be there!!
To the operators involved,
you cost a child his mother,
and I hope this remains
fresh on your minds!
Because it was you,
on behalf of the city,
who, against the Turner family,
committed this crime,
and why these verses chime
911 IS STILL A JOKE!!!

(For the Turner Family of Detroit. Sherrill Turner, Rest In Peace)
