I'd like to know your opinion on this case where a police officer contacted a 911 dispatcher to disregard an incoming call. Long story short. A suspect in the back of a police car begins to show signs of unrest. The suspect's wife calls 911, but one or more of the officers think the suspect is "putting on somewhat of a show" to advert the situation he is in, so the police officer interjects by calling the dispatcher to disregard the call. Put yourself in the shoes of this dispatcher, how do you think you would have handled this situation?
