Essex police say 999 abused by complaints about bank accounts and delays waiting for pizza

  1. As someone who had to deal with Essex police recently, they are the absolute last people you should be calling for help with just about anything.

  2. OK… work with me on this…. Maybe what we are seeing is the very real and serious need for a *333* number to call, our own mental health supporting *I Just Got to Bitch to Someone NOW!* line? Just somewhere to someone who will listen to our frustrations, maybe not for answers but an empathetic or just sympathetic ear?

    333… for the BitchNowPlease!!!

  3. Can’t they be fined?

    Here is me, hesitated calling the emergency even though I thought I had a broken foot, but still could limp to the hospital (ended up taking a taxi).

    >another called to ask if he had left his bank card in a police car the previous evening

    Well when the police don’t answer the none emergency line and they remove the numbers to the local police stations, well of course they’re going to get these kind of calls.

  4. I’m not buying that. Either they’re bullshitting about their crap service or, if they’re telling the truth, that area is seriously lacking in education and mental health support.
