When seconds count the police are often minutes away. Unless you\u2019re Jamie from Dallas. In that case, they\u2019ll be at your house in one hour and 27 minutes.<\/p>\n

Two burglars broke into Jamie\u2019s home last week and forced him, at gunpoint, to lie on his stomach while they ransacked his possessions, according to WFAA Dallas<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe pointed the gun at me and he said, ‘Don’t you say a thing. Don’t you dare move,’\u201d said the M Streets homeowner. \u201cHe had the gun to my head and he made me turn over on my stomach.\u201d<\/p>\n

Jamie is so terrified the gunmen will return to his house that he\u2019s asked the local media to conceal his identity.<\/p>\n

\u201cI still feel the gun on the back of my head,\u201d he recalled. \u201cHe kept saying, \u2018Where is the safe?\u2019 and I would say, \u2018I don’t have the safe\u2019 and he would press [the gun] into my head.\u201d<\/p>\n

Once the men left, Jamie ran next door to his neighbor\u2019s house and called the police.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was at her house for I think at least 20 minutes, maybe more than 20 minutes, and they still had not shown up,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Jamie kept calling 911, but he was told no one was available.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey would say, \u2018Well, are they still in the house?\u2019 I said, \u2018No but the guy put a gun to my head. What if he\u2019s still around here somewhere?\u2019 Every time we were told, \u2018Well, we don’t have anyone to send out. We’re shorthanded.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

The dispatchers aren\u2019t kidding. More than 260 Dallas police officers have left the department since October, and their absence has often left residents like Jamie stranded without assistance.<\/p>\n

Dallas PD has been able to respond to Priority 1 calls\u2014things like murders and burglaries in progress\u2014within about 8 minutes.<\/p>\n

But Priority 2 calls like Jamie\u2019s are being answered in about 22 minutes, and in some cases the wait is even longer.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn many instances, Priority 2 calls can be held for 30 minutes or up to three or four hours,\u201d Officer Nick Novello, a central patrol officer, told WFAA. \u201cIf we were at the precipice, we are in free fall right now.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Dallas PD are in a unique and troubling situation, and the officers still in the department are no doubt working as hard as they can to care for their residents.<\/p>\n

But Jamie\u2019s experience underlines the importance of the Second Amendment right to self-defense with a firearm. A lot can happen in eight minutes. Even more can happen in half an hour, and the best police departments can\u2019t always arrive in time to prevent injury or death.<\/p>\n

Hopefully city officials can make the necessary changes to improve the situation in Dallas. But even if they do, residents like Jamie would do well to make themselves and their families safe without having to rely on law enforcement.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
