A 911 dispatcher who told a 13-year-old girl to "stop whining" as her father lay dying in a hit-and-run crash on a Maryland highway no longer works for the fire department in Anne Arundel County.
Fire department spokesman Capt. Russ Davies said the dispatcher is no longer employed with the department. The dispatcher's name was not released.
The Feb. 1 incident triggered an investigation after the dispatcher told the girl to stop whining. Officials initially said the dispatcher might return to answering 911 calls but could also face termination, depending on the outcome of the investigation.

Good. And they need to post his name! County employee! The civilians deserve to know who this scum is before they have to hire him. No government agency should ever hire him again. Bad cop registry!
His name are you sure it's a him?
Oh I'm sorry to offend you. Don't see a woman saying it .
Sure sounded like a man when I heard the recording. If it is a lady......wow it had me fooled
I don't think he should of lost his job. I think he was just trying to get all the info he could to help.
To anonymous 6:48 yes the dispatcher did need to get info. However, use your words correctly. If you were in that situation would you want to be spoke to like that. I say post dispatcher name, he is a county employee. Yes, firing him was the correct thing to do.
