97: Deanna Cook

The purpose of the police is to protect and serve. I imagine if you were being attacked, you would call 911 under the assumption that they would send somebody to protect you. However, in Dallas, Texas, in 2012, a woman called police for assistance. Her desperation and fear were audible as she screamed for her life. It took over 50 minutes for officers to respond to the scene and even then, they simply knocked on the door and then left. The case would raise many questions about how 911 calls are handled and would reveal systemic problems in the 911 call centre of Dallas, sparking change for the better.
