Belcher 911 tapes released
 

I posted this earlier this morning in the "Jovan Belcher was one sick son of B****" thread

Sorry...

No biggie, not sure if anyone even saw it there.

Comon Pete for damn

Pete strikes again...

Yeah, like I'm digging all through that thread to find the post with the 911 tapes. You guys that get all butthurt about "reposts" can be very annoying at times.


Personally, I like it better having new thread with new information rather than one thread for the dumping grounds.

.

Thanks pete. I stopped looking at the other thread a long time ago.

Transcript:

Dispatcher: You did the right thing. [Simultaneous talking] We need the address.

Caller: The address is [redacted]. Yes. Please get the ambulance here. Please. [redacted] Oh God, Kasi.

Dispatcher: We have a shooting at [redacted]. it sounds like. Ma'am, her name is [redacted]? Is it an apartment?

Caller: It's a house! [Inaudible] Please hurry!

Dispatcher: Ma'am? Let me see if I can help you. Are you with the baby now? [Simultaneous talking] We're on the way. We've been on the way the whole time. How old is the patient?
Caller: 22.

Dispatcher: Male or female?

Caller: Female.

Dispatcher: Is she breathing?

Caller: She's still breathing but barely. Please hurry. I don't know how many times he shot her. They were arguing.

Dispatcher: So she's been shot?

Caller: Yes. (To victim) The ambulance is on the way! You hear me? You hear this? Fight!

Dispatcher: Is she awake? Does she hear what you're saying?

Caller: Yes. She's moving when I talk to her.

Dispatcher: Is she bleeding?

Caller: Yes, she is. (baby crying in background)

Dispatcher: Where is she bleeding from?

Caller: I can't tell - in the back, it looks like.

Dispatcher: OK. We don't want - Go ahead. Where is your son at?

Caller: (Inaudible) Just get the ambulance here, please.

Dispatcher: We're on the way. Where is your son at?

Caller: He left.

Dispatcher: He left?

Caller: Yes.

Dispatcher: OK, they were arguing and he shot her?

Caller: Yes, yes, they were arguing.

Dispatcher: OK. What's your son's name?

Caller: [Redacted] Please just get the ambulance here.

Dispatcher: Ma'am...

Caller: I have to get the baby.

Dispatcher: What kind of car did your son leave in? Or is he on foot? ... Sounds like she disconnected. She doesn't want to answer questions. Ma'am, are you there? ... Ma'am?

Shortly afterward, a call came from Arrowhead Stadium, where Belcher had apparently already committed suicide.

Partial Transcript:

Caller: Hello. We need a Code One ambulance although they think he's probably dead.
Number 1 Arrowhead Drive - that's the practice field at the Chiefs Stadium. It's a self-inflicted shooting. It's a done deal. They've got a player that shot himself.

Dispatcher: A player?

Caller: Yeah.

Dispatcher: What parking lot?

Caller: They still need you.

Dispatcher: We're on our way.

Anybody know why it is that 911 releases these calls?

because they're assholes.

Holy crap.


I can definitely tell I know one of the dispatchers.

Yeah, I'm a strong believer that reposts don't count if the original post is in the middle of a mega thread.

This was gut wrenching. Wish i never listened

The transcript was plenty for me.

I've always assumed that they're required to release things like that upon request since it's a public service, but I could be wrong.

Freedom of information act?

Same. I never listened to the audio.

:shake:

Riiiight

Never heard the audio, skipped over the transcript. I'm sure it's awful and gut-wrenching, but what's the point? If I ever have to call 911, I hope it isn't released as entertainment, or to boost a news outlet's ratings.

Eh, the calls weren't that bad. They just gave me an even firmer belief that Belcher was a sorry ass eat a bag o dicks scum sucking killer. Anyone caught memorializing his death should face public ridicule(let's start with dumbass Bowe). He is an individual, that by his own words point to a person that had lost touch with reality. It wasn't okay for the mother of his infant child to talk to him a certain way but it was perfectly okay for him go out and **** other women behind his victims back as if he didn't answer to anyone.

He is not a Chief. He is a not a good father. He is not a good man. He is not deserving of any respect. He is a cold blooded killer, period. When push came to shove was too chickenshit to face the punishment of his actions. So he took the easy way out by killing himself when he knew the police were coming for him. **** Belcher! And **** anyone who says otherwise.

and what number did I pick for my STH jersey... yup you guessed it #59. Had nothing to do with Belcher, or Donnie Edwards, wanted a linebackerish # and really loathe seeing #58 with any other name beside D.Thomas. So now Im stuck with 59.

so sad

It's easy for us to sit here and judge the players for how they deal with this say the way Bowe is. Altho I ask you if it was your brother who did this how would you feel about him? I think he chooses to block out what he did as it was a shock and an unthinkable act he doesn't want to accept as reality. Time may change that for him but as for right now he just doesn't want to accept it as that was his friend and teamate. I'm not going to ridicule them for how they deal with it. They were all traumatized by the situation & need to be able to grieve to get over it. Maybe Bowe is a Dumbass to wear a Javan T-shirt tho.

I would treat my brother like any other murderer. Lock him up and throw away the key. Taking of a life that is posing no threat to your own is inexcusable on any level. Teammate or brother doesn't matter. Actions do.

Grieve for a murderer? How does one grieve for a murderer? Try to explain that with an ounce of compassion to their victims. Belcher committed the worst of human acts. Killing of another human being. His memory doesn't deserve grieving. Period.

You are absolutely right. That doesn't change that they all were traumatized & I'm sure reality hasn't all sunk into them yet. I like Bowe a lot but he is a nieve individual and probly doesn't get it that way. I don't blame him for not wanting to accept the truth and I don't think he wants to accept the truth, not his fault as that is too much at this point. He still has a right to grieve over losing what he thought of as a friend not to say that Belcher wasn't a murderer wich is true. That part is what is hard for him to accept I'm sure. Unless you have the same thing happen to you you can't put yourself in thier shoes to judge.

Bowe should know better than to do what he did. I would be surprised if all of those guys were not told to stay away from anything that publically expresses sympathy for that killer. And that is exactly what Bowe didn't do. He expressed sympathy for a person that took the life of another human being that was not any threat to them. Friend or not, teammate or rival. Murderers don't deserve grieving for their death.

In the past year I was friends, and still am with many of his family members of a person that was shot and killed by Wichita Police for his actions. And my feelings were the same for him. No sympathy.

I know someone who did something similar to this.

I took the same opinion I have with Belcher. It was a shit thing to do to the child, it was a shit thing to do to his family and friends, it was a shit thing to do to the mother of his child. I chose not to mourn that person. Others however, went and did things like get tattoos and treated it like they both died in a tragic accident. Didn't get it then and I don't get it now.

terrible

It was mentioned in the Star the other day that Missouri is a state that doesn’t require release of 911 tapes. If that’s the case my guess is "Sensationalism"

Agreed. It should be public information, but at the same time it's a low-class thing for the media to do in releasing it. It's purely for public titillation.

This is probably inappropriate considering it has nothing to do with Belcher but it does have everything to do with what you posted. We live in a society where anybody thinks they can do anything to anyone else without any consequences and that's OK. Well they are wrong. If you push somebody hard enough and unfairly enough and do enough bad things to them or the one's they love especially if they are not stable you just might pay the ultimate price. Off the top of my head I can think of several people who have deserved just that.

I shouldn't have listened to that. That shit just creeps me out.

I will be happy to wakeup tomorrow and go to work.

This

Grieving isn't just about the people who died. It's about the loss experienced by the people who live. If my dad shot someone in a fit of rage and then shot himself, it would make him a murderer, but I would still grieve the loss off my father.

Up until that point, I would have had a good man as a father in my life. Afterwards, that would be missing. I would feel a profound sense of loss even though he would have done something horrible.
