Tammy Nuttelman, Cows, and 911

When people call 911, they tend to be under stress. Naturally, they're upset. They're seeking emergency help.

Then there are the abusers of the 911 system.

Example: Tammy Nuttelman.

She wanted help with her cows on the loose.

From TMJ4:

When Tammy Nuttelman called 911, she was told her escaped cows weren't an emergency. That's when she called again.

NUTTELMAN: "I got seven ****ing cows out, maybe going to the ***king highway! And you need to let everybody know that there are loose cows out there! They'll probably cause a major ****ing accident, you hear me?"

As tempers rise, the dispatcher stays cool.

DISPATCHER: "Why are you yelling at me?"

NUTTELMAN: "Because I tried to call before and you guys said it wasn't a ****ing emergency, and this is!"

This isn't as bad as calling 911 because McDonald's ran out of Chicken McNuggets, but it's bad.

Nuttelman is completely out of control.

...Pat Ninmann says her dispatchers were very busy when Nuttelman called, "At the time that this lady had called in, was swearing at my dispatchers, my dispatchers were working on an accident, a motorcycle accident with severe injuries."

Nuttelman now says she overreacted, "I mean, who doesn't when you call 911?"

That's lame.

Sure, people may be upset when they call 911. But are they screaming about cows?

I think Nuttelman is being too easy on herself and just making up excuses.

She says she regrets making that call and she will pay the citation. But she is angry that the sheriff's department has released that call to the public.

Nuttelman is angry about the release of the 911 call? Really? That's so out of character for her, isn't it?
