Don’t take bad advice that can get you killed
Truth: If someone on the other end of a telephone call tells you to not defend yourself with the best means possible, you can pretty much write off everything else they tell you as well.

Call 911, describe what is happening, and describe yourself. Then set the phone down face up nearby.
Arguing with a 911 dispatcher can get you killed.
Yea, a lot of these dispatchers are trained to try to get the victim to disarm. The politically correct retards who promote this need to be unemployed.

Rule 1: Someone ever tries to kill you, you try to kill ’em right back.
Everything else is go-se.

I have read elsewhere that part of staying on the line is so they can tell you when the police get there so you can be sure they are actually the police and don’t shoot them accidentally.
That said, until they say the cops are there I’ll make my own shooting decisions.

“911, what’s your emergency?”…
“This is Elmer **********, some guys just busted in my barn… you can send the police in five minutes or the ambulance in ten! CLICK!”…
(actual call from a rough, old fella when I was an officer years ago – we got there fast…)

When I studied at Texas A&M University, the 911 operators were undergraduates. Most of them were also EMTs or studying to become EMTs, and were looking at careers in law enforcement or medical school. There was a long week of training and testing to be a 911 operator, but not a requirement for life experience. It was a great job in the sense that one could study 99% of the time, and get work during weird hours when most places are closed.
I imagine other 911 call centers are similarly staffed – not by lawyers, not by experienced cops, but by people who passed the training scenarios of the trainers.
In my ideal world, 911 call centers would be staffed by retirees (people who have raised teenagers, or been non-commissioned officers in the armed forces).
When you make a 911 call, the operator is primarily concerned with pleasing the supervisor who will review the call the next day. Helping you is in the top 5 list of concerns, but not the top 1 or 2.
