Dallas has had many unfortunate bad press, concerning the 911 services.
One more black eye may nudge them into sensitivity training, better pay, better training,
A better system and improved management.
Seems many of the incidents are unfortunately race related.
They might have just nipped it in the bud by firing this young girl.
if she had continued to post her remarks on facebook, they could have Been looking at being
Sued by some group.
I would hate to think the person who I am depending on to save my life or others may not help me because they hate my color of skin.

It will take Dallas a long time to get past what happened to Deanna Cook. It was outrageous and unacceptable.
You can hold all sorts of ideas and have all kinds of opinions on everything under the sun, but you never had/never will have the right to voice them publicly without repercussions.
The real idiots are the ones who don't realize this.
Sims was hired back in December, when Dallas police were trying to quickly hire 911 operators after delays in responding to critical cases, like Deanna Cook's murder. It was captured on a 911 tape, but through a series of mistakes, her body wasn't found until two days after her call for help.
April Sims does not have the necessary maturity for this kind of work.
They should screen applicants before things like this happen.
Looks like we both agree. I would not want to be around someone who thinks of all Black people as "animals". I'm Black and I don't consider myself an animal.
I found it more disgusting than comical. One reason I can't stand Mel Gibson.
