Dallas Police Face Criticism For Slow Response To 911 Calls

By Jennifer Lindgren, July 24, 2015 CBS

DALLAS (CBSDFW.COM) – For the second time this week, Dallas police are facing criticism for lack of response to 911 calls.

Friday afternoon, a young woman says she waited for three hours for a patrol officer to meet her to make a report following a hit and run crash.

Bethany, who asked that her last name not be used, was headed home from meeting her dad for lunch when she was rear-ended.

The 23-year-old says a woman in a blue SUV slammed into her Honda sedan as she was stopped at Coit Road at the George Bush Turn Pike.

“After she hit me, she came and asked me, are you ok? I said no, I need you to follow me,” said Bethany.

Bethany says the woman appeared to follow her as she prepared to turn onto the turnpike and take the first exit, but then the driver sped off.

Suspects Open Fire On Officers Outside Dallas Police Hq

By Nooman Merchant, Jun. 13, 2015, Associated Press

DALLAS (AP) — A man planted pipe bombs outside Dallas police headquarters and sprayed the building with bullets during a wild street battle early Saturday that authorities said miraculously left no one dead or injured except the suspect, who was later shot and killed in his van by a police sniper.

Dallas Police Chief David Brown said the suspect identified himself to authorities as James Boulware, and he blamed police for having lost custody of his son and for "accusing him of being a terrorist." But authorities declined to officially identify the suspect until a medical examiner verified it. Police arrived at the home of Boulware's father as an Associated Press reporter was there later on Saturday and began questioning the elder Boulware, also named James.

According to police, the suspect opened fire on the building from his parked van. Bullets pierced the glass at the entrance and caused damage inside, including at the front desk, where the worker on duty had just gone to get a soft drink.
