How ya gonna call the cops when there ain't any cops to call?


Pittsburgh’s Bureau of Police is responding to staffing 
shortages by foregoing any officer presence in dispatch offices 3 a.m. to 7 a.m. daily.
The Daily Mail reported that the cut was announced last month by Pittsburgh police chief Larry Scirotto, who noted, “Data said that from 3 a.m. to 7 a.m that we had 8% of our call volume, yet we had 33% of our personnel working during those periods of time.”

  1. Hold up Mr. Burglar, it's only 6:45, 911 operator doesn't show up for 15 minutes yet. Just when you thought you had heard about all the stupid things there were.

Find a penny, pick it up. Especially at the Empire State Building...

Have you ever worried that, at any moment, you could be struck dead by a penny flung off the roof of a nearby skyscraper? You can rest easy ...
